Ratings and reviews

What happens when you meet someone you like, and know they're lying? What if you're lying too, even to yourself? Beautiful, strong relationship movie about a grown-up relationship. It's not what you think at first--or on the first two or three guesses. But eventually all will be revealed. Beautiful photography, lovely score by Michael Ford, masterfully nuanced performances aided by sensitive dialogue and direction from writer/director Keith Boynton. Authentic, improbable and very satisfying.
