The film itself was decently presented, but what won me over was the score!
A lot of indie films lack to same care and attention to the score as they give to acting/cinematography. The composer in this film made the music its OWN character. While Nikki narrates and helps glue together parts of the story, the music did it more-so for me. In such a deep, romantic, yet dark story the music added an odd comfort that I really enjoyed. The finale song, "On that Day" was beautifully sang by Brooke Weirick. Very musical theater yet also very contemporary
As far as the feel of the music - think Horner meets Webber meets Zimmer. Reminded me a lot of a mix between Interstellar and Inception in terms of sound
As far as the film itself I was pleasantly surprised! While the film doesn't jump pretty quickly, you'll love the film if you enjoy good conversational scenes - these are short and simple moments. This film really lets the characters have deep conversations and for that reason it might not keep some's attention. However, I appreciated it!

Loved the score! "On that Day" should win best original song TV movie!
Great Indie! Gorgeous music!
Loved the story! Felt like I was watching something unfold as a fly on the wall - also felt very comforting as if I was talking and getting advice from a good friend
This film has a lot of heart and warmth and feels like I'm seeing as much inside the filmmaker/writer as the actual characters. Stories like this need to be told - there's too much pain and fear in the world and we all need someone (or some thing) to help guide us back to peace
Great acting, BEAUTIFUL music! I love when music is just as much a character as the players!
Could things be better? Yes! Is it still a great, well performed indie? YES!
Deep and thought provoking
Not a film for those looking for jump scares or twists and turns (besides one BIG one at the end). A deep dive into trauma and death/grief. The film was thought provoking and really makes you wonder and think about loved ones possibly going through something similar.
Naomi Grossman looks GREAT and while I was also hoping to see Nikki Blonsky (just a narrator) I was also very impressed with both Robert Michael and Vanessa Gamble for their roles. I think the relationship could have been flushed out a bit more in the writring but for the budget of only 7,000 what was accomplished was outstanding! Kudos to the cast and crew! Everyone's performance was great and grounded!
