You never get over your first love. This is a story about Amanda and Jim. Reconnecting after two decades apart. They spend the day together reconnecting, falling in love, and opening up old wounds.

I love the well-written, dialogue-driven films and when these types of films are done well they rock! It's probably why I love Richard Linklater so much as this film fits his style and this film reminds me of "Before Sunset" which is one of his films; and boy does this film deliver.

Sarah Paulson and Mark Duplass knock it out of the park. They were amazing. The chemistry felt so real and just worked on all levels. Also, the choice of making the film black and white really added to the film's atmosphere. The only thing I didn't like about this film was the abrupt ending. But that can be forgiven as it isn't about the destination, it's about the journey getting there that really counts. And like I said this film delivers. This film is definitely worth checking out and you can find it on Netflix. You will not regret watching it.
