Perfect cast and a good story
... View MoreAn absolute waste of money
... View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
... View MoreA clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
... View MoreNot easy to understand in just one watch. But still it does justice for watching it once. Too random sequences of present and past, though the point was proven. It's nothing, but a simple romance drama. Most close to the real world relationship. You would still feel the cinematic effect, yet if you encounter a scene that happened in your life and around you, that won't be a surprise. Because a relationship has to go through such phases.I felt like the dialogues should have been much better, because I can't point out it was whether editing issue or the dialogues. At the end, I realised it was the character Peter, designed in that way. Yep, he seems an average, particularly his skills against women, are poor. So I felt bad for Vandy to get trapped with such person. But love can strike anywhere to/with anyone, right! This is a decent film if you like to take a chance, because it is not your regular romance-drama.6.5/10
... View MoreRelationships are difficult.. they all have issues. Do these two stay together long term.. who knows.. watch again the very end of the film from the wedding scenes... and you decide. Ritter and Weixler do a wonderful job in this smart, engaging film. Many one-on-one romance films are quite enjoyable. But very rarely do you watch a romantic comedy and wish it would go on longer. This is a relatively short film at 80 minutes... and yet one of the more entertaining of the group. Obviously, it's all because of the two of them. Jess Weixler is not a huge Hollywood name.. for this film they matched up very well though, and she is exceptional. It's a favorite film... with a great ending track.. 'Overture' by Patrick Wolf ... bit.ly/1DOORTK ) PS.. this is a film you must watch a second time.. but start from the very end going back (overlapping) 10-15 minutes each time. This might be the only film you can do this and get more out of it than you'd ever believe possible.
... View MoreYes this is a bit like 500 days of Summer but without the gimmicks. What I didn't like about 500 days of Summer was that the characters were too compatible at times and suddenly became incompatible for no reason.In Peter and Vandy, however, the problems between the two are always there in the background. The characters may not understand what's happening but the audience can certainly see the seeds of discord.The dialogue is touching and real, when they are getting along, when they are fighting, when they are learning about each other and when they truly know each other. The fight over the pb and j was brilliant.Ritter and Weixler give subtle and believable performances. Rather than overwrought Oscar dialogue, simple looks and glances expressed their hope, hurt, happiness and disappointment. A very refreshing change.Highly recommended for anyone who loves a good romantic story that tugs on the heartstrings and brings tears to your eyes, without insulting your intelligence.
... View MoreI had a chance to see "Peter and Vandy" at the Gen Art Film Festival a few months back and heard it's coming out in theaters in a few weeks. I'm happy it found distribution cause I really enjoyed this film. It's a quirky love story told out of sequence. If you think this sounds a bit like "500 Days of Summer," you're kind of right. The thing is, I actually liked "Peter and Vandy" better. At times I found "500 Days of Summer" a bit too clever for its own good, although I dug the film. "Peter and Vandy" doesn't resort to the type of sight gags that bogged down "Summer." This is a simpler and more heartfelt story, and I appreciated that. It's an enjoyable film that's worth seeing.
