Apart (2011)

I loved this movie! Simply put if you don't like art films don't watch it. You won't like it. However if you do like movies that give you a new beautiful experience, you'll probably like it. Phenomenal soundtrack! This is a very dreamscape esk film. Your not going to get the straight forward everything laid out from beginning to end experience like you do with most movies and that bothers a lot of people hence the poor rating. I thought the acting was excellent as well as the cinematography. I personally love the dreaming emotionally driven films(and music) so this movie was right up my ally. I normally don't write reviews but the poor rating that this movie was given on IMDb I felt was very unfair for how good it was. I understand it is a taste thing. It is just unfortunate that preference is mistaken for quality. If you like this type of movie, you can rest assured that it is of quality. This movie is kinda along the lines of Donnie Darko or The Butterfly effect as style and feeling and younger characters just with less of a budget. Despite the lack of budget though unlike some independent films you don't really notice. The film quality and acting If you like those movies I think you'll like this one.

I friend of mine saw this movie at SXSW and recommended it to me. I'm not a big fan of independent films so I was reluctant to take her advise, but I'm so glad I did. I was surprised to see recognizable actors and actresses like Bruce McGill and Joey Lauren Adams. Josh Danziger and Olesya Rulin were awesome in their lead roles. There are several twists and turns in the story that kept me engaged throughout the film. Its rare to find an independent film put together this well. I didn't really feel like I was watching an independent film. The cinematography was great, the story was engaging and the acting was really good. I would definitely recommend this one.

First and foremost what sold me on this film was Bruce McGill. Above and beyond any other connection I've had with the film this man is seriously top form and always has been. Bar none, period, end of story. If you give him a chance to tell you into a story, you will love this film.Now that this film is on Netflix you should take the time to see it and rate it, both here and on your streaming service. The film has been out since March 8 2012 and there less than 200 ratings here on IMDb. Thats sad indie film lovers. Because if you travel in the same circles I do you've gone way out of your way for new good movie content constantly and failed...time and again...but not here.What I'm here to tell you is that "APART" will not disappoint. I don't want to give anything away and heck, I am obviously biased. I've worked with these guys and hope to again. So don't listen to me, just give it a chance and I think you'll like it. It's a fresh slice of what you don't see from big-budget studio pictures so much these days. If you like that about Apart...for good or bad, please rate this film and give it even just a few words of review here on IMDb so it can reach more people. The last user review said it best: he won't regularly watch anything under a five and this film simply does not fall into that category. Plus you get four solid actors in reasonably messed up situations...it was fun and I'm honored to log in and write this to help Apart succeed.

to begin, i am in no way affiliated with this film, i don't know anyone associated with this film and this is a completely unbiased review. as you will notice, i have never even written a review on this site before. the reason i am writing one now, is that i would like others to be able to experience an awesome indie film as i have. i always look to IMDb when choosing to watch a film and it was the positive reviews on this site that coaxed me to watch this. i am glad that i did. i will say nothing of the story except that it is definitely worth the time spent to go through it. the cinematography is excellent, the plot is excellent and the acting is good. actually considering the history of one of the leads, the acting is exceptional. the movie slightly borrows from donnie darko at points, although imo doesn't quite live up to darko. but then again donnie darko is a classic imo. anyways, don't pay attention to the rating and do yourself a favor and watch a very good movie. this comes from someone who watches at least 1 movie a day as i work from home and have to be in front of the computer for countless hours and love film.
