Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

you'd actually have to have experienced this weird crap in your real life in order to enjoy it. it was just a weird movie about some killer idiot. he was always thinking about murdering his therapist and it was constantly flashing back to scenes, but it was one of those lame flashbacks where they don't tell you it's a flashback and you think it's happening now. it's kind of confusing, but not in a deep sense. it's more like a sense of idiocy and waste of time. like, "why am i still watching this crap?" i'm actually at a loss for words as to why i finished the film. the grenier fellow really needs to try a new hair style. i mean, he has nice hair, but he only has one haircut and that's just retarded. he could get some corn rolls or a bowl cut even. i think the movie was retarded.

This movie is exceptionally realistic, and I really enjoyed it. I have first hand experience in the sort of relationship shown in this movie, and I could relate to both Sarah and John's characters. John is a man that suffers from what appears to be Borderline Personality Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He feels lonely, and believes that the missing part of his life is love. The problem is, he is unstable and unable to control his emotions. While it may seem unrealistic that two people can fall in love and get involved in a serious relationship quickly, the fact remains that this usually happens with 2 people that miss what they feel is love. John's feelings, however, would never be accepted in society, hence why he is alone.John has had a traumatic childhood, with his mother giving him away when he was a young child and later on is revealed that he was sexually abused as a boy, by the people looking after him.John truly loves Sarah, and it is shown throughout the movie that his love is over excessive. To sum this movie up quickly, it's well worth watching, and shows how a mentally ill man tries to cope with a relationship with a fairly functioning woman. Whilst it can be argued that John didn't love Sarah, the fact remains, he did. What happened during the end, and because Sarah was not able to figure out John was unstable, was mostly Sarah's fault. The warning signs were there, but she ignored them, even when she knows John is seeing a doctor.

I thoroughly enjoyed 'A Perfect Fit'. It is a compelling psychodrama that had me at the edge of my seat throughout the film. This film captures the vicissitudes of one's mental states and, in particular, the state of the lead character's mind. The imagery throughout the film transported me into the film as if I was there and part of the drama! I imagine we all know people including ourselves who have been challenged in some degree by obsession. This film illustrates, to perfection, the mania associated with those obsessions. Indeed,it exemplifies how life loses all control and meaning in the face of those states of mind. The lead actor takes on this role and it's manifestations brilliantly. Throughout the film, I was impressed by the depth of emotion and character that is portrayed and acted on. My congratulations to the many people involved from the original writing to the completion and presentation of the finished product.....Outstanding Work! Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Perfect Fit looks at the damage that can be done to a relationship if we can't get beyond the scars carried over from our childhoods. Sarah (Leila Arcieri) is so eager to find a man that she overlooks the warning signals in John's (Adrian Grenier) behavior. The film makes it clear from the opening scenes that John is a disaster waiting to happen, but Sarah chooses to ignore some of the warning signals, and plunges headlong into a relationship with him. As an audience, we know more about John's troubles than Sarah does, which creates a lot of tension. Many of us have made similar mistakes in our own lives, and it is easy to relate to Sarah's predicament. When the film shows us the reasons for John's troubles, he becomes a sympathetic character. Even though we know it's probably futile, we hope that John will find a way to tame his demons, and that the relationship will work out in the end. Adrian Grenier and Leila Arcieri give wonderful performances in demanding roles. They have an amazing chemistry that is at times exciting, and at other times, disturbing to watch. Watching Grenier try to manipulate and control Sarah causes discomfort, but we can't help but feel some empathy for him as he struggles to hold onto the thing that he has missed out on his whole life – love. Writer/director Ron Brown has created an intimate film with believable and concise dialogue. It definitely rings true, and that's what makes it unique.
