This is a film that could have been good if the director chose to focus on telling a coherent story, instead of padding the runtime. It felt like the filmmakers just said "It doesn't matter if this scene doesn't fit into the overall plot of the story. We filmed it, so it's going into the final cut." An example of this would be the scene of the main character's friend proposing to his girlfriend towards the end of the movie. Don't worry, that wasn't spoiler because it was already established within the first 5 minutes of the film that the friend was getting married in a week. So, why was the proposal shown *after* telling us this information? Idk. What's even stranger is that the shot was completely out of place and ruin the flow of the 3rd half of the film. It didn't even add anything to the plot, it just showed up out of nowhere. There were a lot of scenes like this, that just felt like they could have been left out or placed elsewhere. Another flaw of this movie is that they gave away that the main character is cursed in the bio. So, I went in expecting for the character to find out about the curse within the first or second act and then the main conflict would revolve around that. Instead, the movie carried on, acting as if the curse was unknown by the audience and then revealed it at the end (To the main character), like it was some big twist that we had to figure out. That *really* made the story drag because I was just waiting and waiting for the main character to figure it out and he never did until the end. Even then, it was unclimactic and not worth wait. However, I will say that the positives of the film were the acting and the camera quality. Usually, you expect really stilted performances and shoddy camera work from independent romance films, but it all worked surprisingly well in this production. The script definitely could have used some work, but the actors worked with they had, and their performances came out well.
