Faraway Eyes

Man o man alive. That was horrible. I had to tap out with 34 minutes remaining. It was just nauseating. I'm a finisher. I could not finish this stupid film. The story was horrible and boring. At least get C. Ricci * and I would've gave it a two.

1 - That Actors (Writers and Filmmakers) constantly do stories about, well Actors and themselves. They are way too impressed with themselves and think they are interesting enough for the rest of us to care about these endless expressions of being, well, Actors. 2 - New Yorkers constantly do stories about, well New Yorkers and themselves. They are way too impressed with themselves and think they are interesting enough for the rest of us to care about these endless expressions of being, well, New Yorkers -- otherwise, with the ability to pretty much blink themselves to another place, why in the hell would they stay there? Being in NY city for a possible eternity is in itself, close enough to being in hell! 3 - Short sighted people really do believe that the foolishness we live on this plane, carry on throughout the entire universe on all levels of existence. How can anything be so short-sighted? 4 - That men who have no ability to communicate in life will be equally as daft and absurd in an afterlife, and still make zero sense! Dear God let's hope not. 5 - That childish, misogynistic screenwriters will still be calling grown women 'girls' even in the afterlife, and not have graduated to any new level of understanding or respect. Again, Dear God let's hope not. 6 - That mediocre filmmakers can still get funding for mediocre films, while too many brilliant filmmakers struggle unfairly and ridiculously to get their films done. 7 - That grown men are still fascinated with sneaking peaks at naked women in inappropriate places as if they are grown-ups, when in fact they are just simple-minded pre-adolescent boys. 8 - That the logic you create in a film, no matter how implausible, can then become even more implausible when you change your own logic from scene to scene. 9 - That well known actors like Christina Ricci will deliver any kind of idiotic lines given to her. I guess that is a professional, huh? 10 - That Writer/Director Harry Greenberger has big time connections, and we pray he becomes a better filmmaker. 11 - That the Music Director has a promising future as does the Cinematographer, hopefully.

A romantic/comedy for date night or any other time. Genuine heartfelt performances by Tony nominee Karl, and Nora Arnezeder- who just might be the next "It Girl." Ricci is great as always and the special effects were done quite well. With all the violence in movies- give your mind a break and enjoy the ride.

I have waited a long time to find a smart, imaginative "rom com" with plenty of fantasy. I would include this film in the same league as "the science of sleep", which I loved very much. The writer & director is able to capture universal truths associated with love & loss. After a pandemic year of isolation in which we all faced our own mortality, there's something to be said for films that take a beloved and often easily digestible genre like romantic comedies, & twist them into something that can be moving, inspiring, transporting, fresh, & funny. This film is able to execute this wonderfully. It is as cute as it is poignant, exploratory as it is accessible, & unafraid to move through classic conflicts of morality, attachment, love, loss, & beyond while maintaining its wit & whimsy. This film dips into our nostalgia & desire without feeling forced or inauthentic. The acting was also fantastic & the chemistry between the actors makes for easy viewing. Bravo. I love this film so much & hope for more of this kind. It really spoke to me and the overwhelming thoughts so many of us have had to face in our search for meaning this past year. Highly recommend this film!

I really enjoyed it and the concept and the actors and the directing. I really liked the main guy , thought he was kinda funny. I heard someone say that it vexed him to have to open the movie with a big ol' monologue from him but I found it to be very telling and funny! What I didn't understand was the ending, so what happens to the bad guy , where does he go , does he need to find a psyciopathic "SOUL" - mate as well? I don't know but I also don't know why Christina Ricci was being such a duplicitous witch at the end, I mean why couldn't she just say , hey come with me we have a surprise , go into the other room problem solved. I also found it disturbing how ol' boy down there is just about to fall in love and he has to get sucked up into a void of nothingness , like really? But my favorite cameo in all the world had to be Mike Bocchetti , chilling on a park-bench reading but he got no lines, damnz! But all in all, I thought this was cute fun neat story , I would highly recommend and say good job people!

Found it quite offensive, misogynist and overall boring. I kept on watching hoping for a twist or ..... something. I am a fan of rom coms, funny quirky, but this is neither.

I'm a huge Christina Ricci fan so I automatically love anything she's in, but this movie caught me off guard in a good way. It's really different, it makes you think about life and love in an honest, realistic way. It's not like any other movie I've seen, uniquely strange and beautiful. The french actress that plays Honeybee is so stunning, I can't keep my eyes off of her, and she's also an amazing actress. And of course, Ricci never disappoints. Michael is also a lovable, imperfect character, very funny and full of life. It's a visually stunning love letter to New York too, I love the production design and cinematography.

This really surprised me,, I wasn't expecting such a great film. Kudos to everyone involved, especially the writer and director Harry Greenberger and the actors. Nora Arnezeder,, Andy Karl and. Michael Rispoli. This is one you won't forget.

Well put together movie, clever script, great performances and visionary directing. Visual effects will take you into an imaginary world.

I enjoyed this movie, it posed questions thst made you think and feel in a new way, always a good thing. The writing was a little off, some things didnt tie up and the end seemed a little confused, I would never have guessed it was an indie film, however overal it was well filmed and acted and generally a good watch.
