Alienated

1st of all if you're expecting a Sci-Fi flick like I was, forget about it.Nate *sees* what he thinks is a UFO (I didn't see a thing) at the start of the movie & that was the only thing UFO related about Alienated (Hey that rhymes) The rest of the movie is Nate & Paige working out their relationship issues (That's it, That's all) Starting out I really was expecting Alienated to be a Sci-Fi flick but it was such a good movie that I didn't care that it wasn't what I expected it to be.Alienated was really painful to watch at times though.It's like the feeling you get when you watch a couple fight in public.You HATE seeing it happen but what can you do? Other than sit there, cringing (GREAT job by George Katt & Jenn Burry because they had me cringing the entire movie) & hoping it will be over soon.If I knew a couple like Nate & Paige I'd tell them to end their relationship already.They were fighting over every single little thing & I mean EVERY single little thing.Alienated is a movie that's most definitely worth watching once & even more than once but once was enough for me.RIP Taylor Negron

Saw this film at the Sun and Sand Mississippi Film Festival and I really liked it. For me this whole experience was surreal because it was Taylor Negron's last performance. I don't want to give anything away but it was kind of a strange coincidence that this was his last movie. George Katt as Nate blew me away. What an underrated actor! And Jen Burry showed the world why she has already won Best Actress for this performance. It could not have been easy to have such a balanced performance when Katt kept pushing all of her buttons in nearly every scene. These 2 actors had great chemistry and so did Katt and Negron! The script had some of the best dialogue I have seen in an indie film in years. Very well done by the writer. My only problem with the film was ow slow it moved in the 1st half. But for those that like a slow burn you will have no problem, with the pacing like I did. It is slow for a average movie goer but no problem for those that like character based movies instead of expensive special effects popcorn fests.

From the very first conversation between the main characters to the final scenes I was captivated. The dialogue is dense and full of meaning. Nate and Paige's back and forth was like watching a car wreck in slow motion. You always figure the next flip will be the last, but then it keeps going. I would say that this is the main reason I'm giving it a 7/10. There are no "big" special effects except for a few here and there throughout. The draw for this movie is how real and visceral the conversations/arguments are in light of the events going on around them.

Those who aren't married or who haven't been in a truly committed relationship may find the dialogue to be a bit much. But this is what relationships can become when two people start to lose respect for one another. If I could make an analogy to this, it would probably be the movie Ransom with Mel Gibson. I couldn't really get how crazy he was acting because, at the time, I had no children. But now that I do I have a whole new appreciation for that movie.

TLDR: If you love movies with dense, rich dialogue that dive head first into relationship struggles and perils, watch this. If you're looking for a popcorn shoot 'em up then wait for the next Transformers mess.

Okay, I'll be frank - I expected a little something different. perhaps, different and somewhat more suspenseful. This film kept me on the edge of my seat for one reason - I had to know if watching one scene of failed communication between lovers after another for an hour would be worth my time in the end. I admit - it was worth it. The ending was totally unpredictable, in the psychological thriller genre style. And it worked. The acting - really good jobs by both the protagonist actors. I also really enjoyed the supporting actor's performance - Negron's - whose acting reminded me of Al Pacino's in the Scent of a Woman. Overall, I'd say: watch this movie with a glass of wine and a slice of good, aged, expensive cheese to make it through the first 40 minutes or so. After that, you begin to appreciate your time with these characters more and more.

I gotta say I wasn't to sure about this one, but as a married man, this one evoke emotions I sometimes feel. A very good story, great dialogue, and good performances by three actors, two I watched for the first time deliver great roles in this movie that really goes into the heart of any and every true marriage. I say to young couples starting out, give this one a whirl, You'll probably see yourself in it. I really like movies that appeal to may intellect and not just my emotional side. Not much more to say other than, this is definitely worth the watch. I enjoyed it very much. Gonna recommend to some friends. Hopefully, they'll enjoy it just as much as I have.
