À propos de ce film

Two high school sweethearts run into each other in a grocery store parking lot after 20 years. Amanda is married with two kids, and Jim is in town to take care of his recently deceased mother’s estate. What begins as just a cup of coffee turns into a day of rediscovering the town they grew up in and sharing stories. As the day progresses, they stop feeling like strangers and rediscover the old familiar feeling they had when they were each other’s everything – as well as a big secret from their past.

Notes et avis

These characters quickly endear themselves with the freedom and authenticity of their scene work. A drama that will evoke genuine belly laughs. It is possible to have both and this strikes a sublime balance. Perfect for a Valentine gift for somebody uniquely awesome who you can dance in the living room with while singing in falsetto and doing the ridiculous kind of things one might only share with a soul mate. I couldn't get enough of them I could listen to them simply talking all day. Didn't want it to end. A romantic film that is never formulaic or soppy. You will want to watch it over and over. In the spirit of Almost Famous, or when Harry met Sally only on a smaller budget. Anything bigger might have made this slice of life less touching. See it!

A beautiful little film, and of a kind that one doesn't get to see much of these days. The writing was very good - realistic and consistently authentic. A moving, touching story. Paulson and Duplass's acting was superb. The revelation at the end of the film explained what we might have imagined, but was kept hidden in a way that gave the story an emotional gravity -- of lives unexpectedly, perhaps unnecessarily, changed. Bravo to everyone involved in such a fine work of art.

Très bon film, nostalgique, romantique avec une histoire intéressante en trame de fond. À voir absolument. Vous craquerez pour l'excellent jeux des acteurs. Que d'émotions... Un film sur le véritable amour.
