Turnover

This was a film that simply made you feel good. Centered around a group brought together to work at a restaurant under crazy circumstances we find true human kindness prevails over all going against them. You will recognize many of the cast, and they do a great job. It is simple story that is simply told. And that is a big compliment. It's just plain nice to watch start to finish. Worth a watch.

Every day the news is off the charts depressing. So a little light and joy is really needed right now. This movie delivers laughs, friendship, joy, love... and just made me incredibly happy! A group of outsiders coming together make this cafe feel a little like the 80's sit-com Cheers to me. A place that makes you feel at home and laugh at the same time. Though Turnover is more family-friendly. But still, that same welcoming vibe. Featuring a great cast and story, this a sweet film, very lovingly made.

Turnover is a heartwarming little indie that I stumbled upon when skimming through the new releases on Amazon, and I'm happy I checked it out. Paul Guilfoyle, who you might recognize from several other projects, has some health issues and his doctor recommends that he take some time off from his cafe. Paul's disgruntled manager ends up hiring what seems to be a rag tag group to take care of the cafe while he's gone, but what's great is that the group really grows together and shows what they have to offer. The unlikely team of misfits rally around each other and it's really sweet. I think Turnover was just the film I needed while I'm still stuck here in quarantine.

Paul Guilfoyle does a beautiful performance taking us on his life-changing journey. The ensemble cast is also so talented and the writing and set up are infectious. These are the kinds of stories we need right now, people coming together to help each other, make each other better. I also appreciate immensely the representation of multiple disabilities in this film and voices we don't usually see their stories. The Turnover is defiantly worth your time, with so many gifts, performances, and messages.

You immediately settle into this film during the opening sequence, which is beautifully shot and scored. The movie does a good job creating a feel good tone, while also quickly establishing conflict and capturing the strange dynamics of this charming small town. The film features a talented ensemble cast, who all feel real and relatable. I applaud the director's diverse casting choices, and Paul Guilfoyle does a terrific job in his lead role.
