Duane Edward's drama/thriller/romance "Wrong Numbers" was a recent discovery (through the film's Facebook page), and what started as a blind watch turned into a 2025 gem discovery!
It takes a lot to captivate an audience these days, especially with a limited cast (two in this case), and essentially focus on one story throughout, which, as a fellow writer, is beyond admirable, and something I hope to accomplish one day.
Yes, there is a lot of back-and-forth talking between the two characters, however, the importance is the realism of the conversations being had and how the actions are handled in an entirely realistic manner.
I promise that once you finish this film (and I know you will) that you will say to yourself, "I know someone like that".
Mission accomplished to everyone attached to this beautiful indie drama.

I was drastically misled by positive reviews of Sigal Erez's film Serial Beauty.
The film comes across as something that was filmed in 2004, which is unfortunate, as it appeared the cinematographer has a decent background.
Per other negative reviews, the actors involved are good, but the script makes them look aloof and quite simply lost.
I'm not exactly sure what direction Sigal was trying to go with this film, however, it appears that it didn't go the way she wanted it to.
I did see a few reviews that are bot reviews, which is unfortunately a trend within this industry and can easily be misleading to viewers.
Ignore at all costs.
