Josh Danziger did an outstanding job! It will remind you of a sixth sense. The music is memorable and the acting is very good.The cast consists of Olesya Rulin and Josh Danziger. The movie takes them on a path of destruction. I saw the SXSW version last year in Austin and then I saw the finished product at the Sundance Theater in Houston Texas. The final release blew me away. Joey Lauren Adams, Bruce McGill, and Oleysa and Josh do an amazing job! I encourage you to see this film. Josh and Oleysa share the same genetic disease but neither of them know it. They cause chaos and tragedy whenever they come together.Based on a real disease the characters have a love story with a twist.I recommend the film and hope it hits more theaters soon. I liked the film and give it a 9.

First and foremost what sold me on this film was Bruce McGill. Above and beyond any other connection I've had with the film this man is seriously top form and always has been. Bar none, period, end of story. If you give him a chance to tell you into a story, you will love this film.Now that this film is on Netflix you should take the time to see it and rate it, both here and on your streaming service. The film has been out since March 8 2012 and there less than 200 ratings here on IMDb. Thats sad indie film lovers. Because if you travel in the same circles I do you've gone way out of your way for new good movie content constantly and failed...time and again...but not here.What I'm here to tell you is that "APART" will not disappoint. I don't want to give anything away and heck, I am obviously biased. I've worked with these guys and hope to again. So don't listen to me, just give it a chance and I think you'll like it. It's a fresh slice of what you don't see from big-budget studio pictures so much these days. If you like that about Apart...for good or bad, please rate this film and give it even just a few words of review here on IMDb so it can reach more people. The last user review said it best: he won't regularly watch anything under a five and this film simply does not fall into that category. Plus you get four solid actors in reasonably messed up situations...it was fun and I'm honored to log in and write this to help Apart succeed.

"Apart" starts with the premise that two teenagers share the same psychological infliction: induced delusional disorder. Apparently, they are the only two people on the planet with this disorder. Based on that "fact" I assumed it was a made up disorder, and so I sat waiting for my way in to experience their reality. They never gave me any such connection. Afterwards, I discovered it was a real disorder, but one that only two fictional characters suffer from they tried to have me believe.Although marketed as a psychological thriller, the romantic angle of teen love was really played up. And I was left wondering why they were trying to make that any more dramatic or mysterious when teenagers do a pretty good job of that themselves. But then again the entire movie is about wondering in confusion trying to figure things out.Something occurred. What? We don't know. When? We don't know. Why, or how? Obviously, we don't know. Who? I assumed it was our two main tragic, teenage heroes, but the more I watched I got the impression that it was most likely disastrous events occurred to other random characters but which Noah and Emily observed.The disorder that Noah and Emily have is one where they experience delusions, shared delusions, where they are seeing the exact same hallucinations. They can never be sure of their reality or their sanity. We can't be sure either.But the problem is, I couldn't even follow what was going on. With lots of jumpy editing, we went from flashback to flashback to flashforward? Perhaps. I don't know what time frame the present was. The two youngest actors could be identified as our main protagonists in their childhood years, but past that, I couldn't always distinguish as to whether they were teenagers, older teenagers, young adults or slightly older young adults. For all I know, there could have been even more ages that we jump around to.It was definitely dark, it could be thrilling if there was any narrative to hang on to, but "Apart" was mostly just confusing.

Based on the first review, this movie has an Oscar in it's future. Yeah, right. 10 out of 10 eh? On the same level of Apocalypse Now, Taxi Driver, Avatar, On The Waterfront, Citizen Kane, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Artist, Bladerunner, Fargo, etc, etc, etc... very plausible! IMDb should not allow ratings for the first 10 reviews a movie gets since many will be 10/10 plants. This is the worst movie ever - on the level of Killer Tomatoes and The Blob and the Ratings Manipulator. IMO anyway.I recommend that you watch the movie and write a genuine review for it so that the public can come to their own conclusions as to whether they may choose to watch.. or pass up this 'gem'.
