All About Us

As an up and coming filmmaker I applaud anyone's effort in trying to make a film. But I liken this film to a sedative. This is my third time trying to get to complete it and I have yet to do so. It is still running now. I like the depth of the couple's relationship although I felt the wife was very manipulative throughout. But hey I give it to the writer director for being so honest about how she persuaded her husband to get the job done.

I have to say this is my first low-budget film by a female that I am not especially fond of. Kassie Lemmons (Eve's Bayou) Gina Prince-Bythewood (Love and Basketball; The Secret Life of Bees) and the lady that did "Something New" I am all fans of their work but this will have to grow on me. I like her directing style. The acting and the close ups are an interesting effect as if she is trying to capture the acting but it was the story itself that provided no real motivation to watch, no real obstacle other than trying to get a movie made. This may be interesting for people like me but not for people who are not familiar or interested in doing so.

Oh the movie's finished now and the credits are running but the ending is even less rewarding than the movie itself.
