I watched this movie the other night and I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, you must be in the proper mood to enjoy a movie such as this. This movie centers around 2 lonely characters, man and woman, on a 'first' date at the woman's apartment. This movie is not too funny nor is it fast paced. The movie simply tries to flesh out each person's character for 90 minutes. This movie also led to some candid discussion between my fiancé and I, especially about the man's 'troubles' at the end of the film. We also discussed if there would be a 'second' date between them. The movie is steeped in realism and is shot very well. Worth a look if you're in the proper mood for a slow but interesting, character development story. 6 out of 10.

Wonderful! I saw it 8 years ago and I'll never forget it. I will see any movie Tom Noonan writes and directs. Also recommended is "The Wife". Another 10. If you like intelligent real dialogue, subtlety, insight and depth you will love this movie. If you are looking for action, sex or quick thrills this is not the movie for you. 2 characters, 1 set, dialogue and very real silence. Beautiful!

Two office Co-workers do dinner and play with each other's insecurities and paranoia . A very theatrical piece saved by a witty script and unusual situations. Watching this makes you feel rather uncomfortable because of the high tensed atmosphere of uncertainty and discomfort created by the two only actors who occupy the entire film with great success.

This movie is certainly NOT for everyone. And I would whole heartedly agree with people who feel mislead by the cover of the videotape because it doesn't create any idea of what the movie is. What the movie is, is a very finely crafted film much like "My Dinner With Andre" but much more somber. The layers of these characters peel off as they become more and more comfortable with each other and it creates for an almost voyeristic feel that lends the movie an immediate impact credibility. This movie is reflective of how many, many people interact and present themselves as something they are not and how fragile people can really be. We see and work with people every day who could be lost souls, lonely hearts, broken egos etc.....and this movie simply reminds us that not everyone is what they seem and that the world is full of lost, lonely people. Obviously not a subject that lends itself to the average movie-goer but if you like outstanding writing and want to see what can be done with TRULY indepenent movies, this is the movie for you. I HIGHLY recommend it to literate movie fans.
