Thanks for the memories!
... View MoreBlending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
... View MoreIt's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
... View MoreWatching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
... View MoreInteresting setup of the story. Good photography, actors are all doing their job, fine. Fine tuning of moments, good observation, though sometimes overtold, resting too much in moments, slowing down, while audience understood already. It is somewhat courageous, I guess, to take on that theme that easily could drift into a different sort of film. Kudos for that. The story of the stock shares/financial heritage problems, plus the dramatic health problem of the lead character is unnecessary in my opinion. The storyteller could have trusted in the "coming of age" of a middle aged woman in a bourgeois environment (stepford wife) , but okay, they went for drama. One thing that is just very distracting, if not disturbing, is the overlaying music which gives it a touch of a , well, Hallmark movie. (maybe it was intended , then nobody wanted anything different, please excuse the remark). A very big compliment to filmmaker for the taste of the scenery and even more to the talent to open up so much for a very touching and realistic love making scene. Thanks for sharing these moments Barbara Niven.
... View MoreThis movie is definitely designed for women, unlike many lesbian or bisexual films which target the male gaze. This film is delightfully erotic and yet filled with meaningful passion. It is a great watch for actual lesbians/bisexuals/queer-identifying women and has an empowering message about taking control over one's life. I was brought to tears by this complex story of pain and healing through love. If you are fond of cheesy romance and family intrigue, this is the right movie. Jessica Clark's character, Paris, is both a captivating and eloquent goddess. Be warned: You may fall for her. The protagonist is earnest and relatable, perhaps a bit cliché. Nevertheless, if you're a softie and in the mood for something a little unrealistic as far as lesbian/bi/queer romances go, I would recommend this movie.
... View MoreI am new to the work of Nicole Conn. A Perfect Ending is a beautifully crafted piece of work, and I got completely engrossed and enveloped into the story from the outset.The two leading actors, Barbara Niven and Jessica Parker, gave exemplary performances, and were completely convincing in their portrayal of Rebecca and Paris, respectively. The whole feel of the film was beautiful, atmospheric, and crafted in such a touching and realistic way.I live in the UK and haven't seen much of Barbara Niven's work; however, she is a really beautiful and talented actress, and the part of Rebecca was brought to life by her brilliant acting and interpretation of the part of Rebecca. There is also a big age difference between her and Jessica Clark (some 30 years!), but that goes completely by the board when you see them together. Every time they were on the screen together, there was a palpable chemistry between them; making the whole thing very believable and gorgeous to watch.It certainly gets a big thumbs up from me.
... View MoreI loved this movie. The acting was wonderful. It was beautifully shot by the film maker. The music fit, perfectly with the scenes. It was romantic, sensual, sexy without being vulgar or tacky. The movie tells us it doesn't matter who you fall in love with. Love, will find you when and where you least expect it. I was happy in the right places watching this movie and sad in all the right places. A Perfect Ending has really touched my heart. I will forever be a fan of the director, Nicole Conn and the actresses, Jessica Clark and Barbara Niven. If you haven't seen this movie. Please buy or rent it now. Its such a beautiful love story. I loved watching the characters grow and change. Again, a beautifully told love story with wonderful actors. This movie is a wonderful love story between two women from very different social status.
