To Whom It May Concern

Came across this in my Prime recommendations, so gave it a shot. Found it to be extremely well-acted, and felt the subject was handled well. Certainly not an expert in depression, but my guess is that many people who are depressed contemplate suicide but also struggle with the decision to do it. Not exactly an action-packed thriller nor an erotic experience, but I found myself pulling for the main characters and hoping all worked out for them. I will say that I found the pool scene a bit of an eye-roller, but I can overlook that for the strength of the rest of the film.

This film treats and hides such deep insidious personal turmoil under such a blank demeanor that when the breath taking portrayal by Dawn Olivieri lets you glimpse under the surface it jolts you whatever facet she shows.

You never know the whole story but maybe dont want to in any case and the director paces an amazing story of a human pebble cast into the deep ocean of misery no one would guess exists. It is this nuance that draws you in. When good guy Sam ( a guileless WIlmer playing a tossed human pebble,) is shown such a momentary act of kindness the unlikely path it leads them down is inspiring and transformative in such an everyday way that you cant help be caught up in it.

As it plays out it is not hard to see that the awakening of the redeemed saves them both.

It is one of the most unique heartfelt stories of its kind in quite a few years and a must see.

Thoroughly believable and sentimental, this is a powerful film about self image, worthiness and the capacity to love someone without questions and without sex between two friends. I can't say enough about the lead actress, Dawn O. She is fierce and vulnerable at the same time, rising to the challenge of every mood and thought of a deserted individual who has lost her identity. Thankfully and cathartically, we live out Anna's moments of reckless and self destructive behavior with a sense of shame and pity as a caring man steps into her life. It's not a moment too soon as Anna has given up on herself but her friend does not. The final few minutes made me literally cry with equal amounts of relief and hopefulness. Well done.

Not believable. I'm not sure the writer or the main character really knows what a person would look like, talk like, feel like, etc. who was planning on "checking out". Bad writing. Didn't believe it (lead character depressed or distressed enough to plan a suicide). It was more of a joke after the first 8 minutes. Mr. writer, I think you need to talk to several people who have actually been clinically depressed, severely distressed, etc.. 7.2 average rating?
