A man and a woman meet at a wedding and flirting turns into a night of passion and remorse.

Yes, the summary is short but it is actually a short movie, considering the length of most movies. This is an indie film and in my own honest opinion, it was not a very good film. There were a few dynamics that kind of make the movie a little confusing and at other times it makes the movie slightly....enlightening...to say the least.

Let me explain, through the entire movie there is a split screen, so at any given time you can watch each of the main character's faces to see their reactions. The only time that it changes away from the main character is if it is showing a flash back or if they are panning across the room to show what is happening around the couple. The split screen does get a little annoying after a while though because sometimes there are different "outcomes" and it shows both as a split screen.


The movie is awkward and things seem very tense for at least the first 45 minutes of the movie. Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter have no chemistry in this film. In fact, Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter don't even have names in this film. In the credits they are labeled as "man" and "woman".

This is a film that should maybe be left on the shelf. I would recommend not picking this film up. If you see it on the shelf, pass it over and find something else. I really like Helena Bonham Carter but I could have gone without seeing this film. If you absolutely have to, check this movie out, otherwise, move onto the next best thing and don't forget the popcorn!
