I cannot believe that it took me five months to watch this movie! I, like a few other reviewers, was initially nervous to watch it due to suspense and implied murder from the trailer. But instead, it was a well-crafted, well-acted, and extremely well-directed film. Very entertaining and engaging. My favorite part was at the beginning and I don't want to give too much a way. It was such an unexpected moment and well shot that I gasped out loud and had to rewind to make sure I had really seen what I thought I saw. I loved re-watching the movie to hear the director's comments. Jon you did a fantastic job! Also, this is a great example of a movie where the setting becomes one of the characters. That house, and that location is so integral to the plot and connects all the characters. My only regret is that I watched this movie by myself. It is definitely a movie to watch with someone else or a group of people as I feel it could have led to some amazing discussion with different viewpoints and opinions. Overall great movie to see! Do yourself a favor and watch it!!! Great job to everyone involved with this movie. Thanks!! Mr. Lindstrom, how soon do we get another one of your movies?
... View MoreA really well executed story in a film genre that is too often "cookie-cutter". Even the title "How We Got Away With It" lulls you into a false sense of - "Oh I know what's going on".... Not so fast. The direction is clean and carefully picks it's "Oh Wow" moments, which allows the story to unfold on it's own, instead of bludgeoning you over the head with it. Perfect for this kind of film. The characters are distinct but at the same time, you feel like you know people like them, which helps draw you in. A dramatic, modern day BIG CHILL to be sure. It's one of those cool smaller budget films that you just happen to see and are real glad you did.
... View MoreHere's another indie flick that keeps the viewer guess at exactly what is happening in this story and then it all comes together! I did so greatly enjoy this movie.I do not want to give away any plot info because that is part of the charm of this story. The plot is spoon fed to you and you keep wanting more and suddenly you get a plate full and you see all the ingredients that made each spoon delicious. You will have to watch this fun movie to understand.The girlfriend Anne plays a pivotal role because she seems clueless until the end ---- then you see how wonderfully Cassandra Freeman played her role. And if you like male eye candy Henry and Will aren't bad to see in their naked scene!!!Bet you want to watch now!
... View MoreIt is a rare thing where plot and actors are so delicately developed. I loved that one could only go with it, and piece by piece, until the actual end, the story revealed itself with well thought out timing. Just with a sentence every now and again you needed to piece it altogether. Just loved it. Clever, a rare commodity. The music supported scenery brilliantly. This is the sort of "undercover" thriller. Not for the impatient viewer, it's for those, who want to solve the puzzle, and you don't get disappointed. In the end you are just really are happy you have been part of it, touched about how deep the connections run, revealed with perfect timing.10 out 10 stars.
