(This is a series of brief unedited descriptions of films in the festival I found time to write about. There are MANY other great films playing at the fest but I only have time to write about these few.)
In this portrait of a loving young couple, things begin to fall apart when they realize they have different thoughts about the fundamental nature of their relationship. This conflict begets a series of secrets and lies, which slowly begin to unravel the world around them.
Very few films come with such emotional honesty as this one. The title of the film speaks volumes about the essential theme of this story. This is a story about what happens to a relationship that lacks adequate communication and what pain can be birthed across the chasm of silence that can grow in a relationship. The silences in this film speak volumes about what is breaking this young couple apart and why they are facing such a crisis.
A small story with big performances from the film’s co-creators this film is a powerful debut from the talented director Mo Perkins and announces the arrival of several new young talents on the independent film scene.
