Meeting by chance when they return to their tiny California hometown, two former high-school sweethearts reflect on their shared past.

Movie was fairly enjoyable. A former couple from their youths' meet after many years and reminisce over the past, while enjoying an evening together. Their encounter takes place in the same house as many of their previous encounters, providing a perfect backdrop to traverse their past. As this develops, they shift from an initially superficial, floating dialogue to an increasingly emotional and intense interaction, with many varied emotional peaks and valleys along the way. It's mostly interesting and engaging, although some of it lingered in silly/sappy territory too long for my taste. It's not really a serious movie as a whole, more like a piece they would do to practice their acting range and have some fun; still fairly fun to watch though.

Characters are unlikable, there is no story of note, acting is mediocre. This is just altogether a bad movie. The atmosphere was impressive but that alone did not carry the movie. Nothing interesting happens. It's a potentially interesting premise but the execution is terrible, short sighted, and boring. The main characters are just bad people and the male is just annoying to look at and listen to. Please find anything else to watch except this.

I know black and white is supposed to be artsy and mood creating, but I'm a color kind of guy, sorry. I also felt like they both played the awkwardness too hard at the beginning. And, as usual for me, I'd like a bit more background details up front- about both characters, and more scenes from around the town. Finally the ending was not my kind...........maybe not a live happily ever after, but at least SOMETHING!

4 settings, 3 actors, 2 colors, 1 day and 80 minutes that will warm your heart.An emotional story that develops between old school friends who meet again after 20 something years after their ways part. Mark Duplass and Sarah Paulson have an amazing chemistry together and deliver high class performance. With well-written dialogues, relatable story line, and good music, it is the one of the best Indie movies of 2016.Expect to be amused, sad, melancholic, and nostalgic throughout the movie. I gave it 10 and would recommend it to everyone who appreciates good movies.
