This film was funny, original, and nice opportunity for local artists to put something out there. Clearly not Hollywood budget, the film suffers from pitfalls that many indie films do... But it's still a worthy project. What you lack in funding and expertise is heart and originality. At times the script gets a bit slow, but I did get multiple laughs from these characters.
This was a fun story! The film features a unique protagonist, a dominatrix, in what can be viewed as a comedy, mystery, romance, and noir. It is a true independent film, which gives it charm and a unique voice. Some moments felt a little talky, and at times the lighting and color feel amateur. But it's easier to look past that, knowing the filmmakers put their heart and soul into this project. Nothing about this feels "cookie cutter" or manufactured for quick cash. You can tell there is a lot of heart involved behind the scenes.
This film was recommended to me so I checked it out on Prime. It was entertaining from start to finish and features an all-around pretty great cast of actors. The story is about the choices we make as we become adults, and the revelations that can come from them. I would recommend it to anyone interested in indie films, particularly the drama/suspense category.
