Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
moose92 Without any condemnation, this is a very interesting film with split-screen technology that potentiates the dichotomy of a mother and father coming to an uncommonly candid explanation of each person's selfish and myopic reasons for a Love Boat affair, yet with none of the self-realization or self-loathing of their 'free love' escapades in the late 60's to mid-70's effect on the children, one of whom is filming her mother and father. The psychological miasma never seems to coalesce into a coherent regret, yet the angst between the women is palpable; and that makes this short film all the more powerful as the audience must come away with their own view of two parents taking a trip on the 'memory love boat'. The director did a spectacular job of visually and verbally displaying this sexual yin-yang story.
Mozjoukine The multi-panel wide screen piece manages to generate some interest as the now aged protagonists discuss their past in a BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE set up, that had them changing partners and moving from house to house early morning, to bluff the children.Interviews in moving cars are spaced with photos.They now look back on this with some curiosity, concluding that it was something you didn't find "not in middle class America." The film seems to have found a public, turning up on the festival circuit, where it has some novelty value.Technically adequate
