I caught another one of Holdridge's movies Midnight Kiss several years ago and have been waiting for him to direct something new. This movie didn't disappoint. It's a unique and brilliant story following the aftermath of a missed opportunity at a great relationship. The characters are well developed and the scenery is awesome. I love quirky sort of characters that stumble through life with so little confidence and so much perspective. This movie makes you contemplate how well you take advantage of the opportunities that lay in front of you and what really matters in life. If you have someone you love, I highly recommend that you view it together.

Thank you both for sharing your story with us, albeit a more fictionalized version of your partnership!It's not an American in Paris this time, it's an American experiencing Berlin and Eastern Europe and showing it back to us in a realistic way. Getting Rupert Friend just as he was breaking in to the US, on the back of Homeland, is a stroke of luck, and one that speaks to the talent of everyone involved.Please, please Australian distributors, make this available to us here!
... View MoreI was so pleasantly surprised and happy to find this gem of a movie! I saw it recommended on Facebook and it seemed interesting and I'm so glad I gave it a watch! It is such a beautiful love story that pulls you in and makes you laugh and cry at the same time! I loved finding out later that it was based on the real life love story of the actual actors in the film! If you want to see a refreshingly well done love story, this movie is for you too. The scenery alone is amazing! I highly recommend this film! I watched it with my parents and they loved it too! I am looking forward to seeing future films from these writers. I was so inspired by this artfully done movie that I got out my old sketchbook and started drawing after the movie was over!
... View MoreMontenegro. Meet me there. The film MEET ME IN MONTENEGRO grabs attention. Having spent summer days in Europe's hidden treasure, Montenegro, the location for a celluloid celebration of romance is aptly cast. The sheer beauty and contrast of this country has attracted film makers to use it as a shooting location for many years. It's great to see relatively unknown countries highlighted, and featured on film. For those who haven't been there (yet), get ready to be transported there. For those of us who have enjoyed Montenegro, this film aims to bring it to life on the screen. Bravo! Viva Europa! The realism of films like this are a welcome contrast to car chases, explosions and special FX.
