Mara Walsh [Deragh Campbell] is married to Samir [Mounir Al Shami], with whom she has a child, and has more or less resigned herself to the fact that her literary ambitions won't go much further than teaching literature and giving lectures at small festivals. Until, at a literary gathering, she runs into her ex-boyfriend Matt [Matt Johnson], who hasn't given up on his ambitions. This renewed connection reminds Mara of her former self and fuels her ambitions. A small, independently produced romantic drama with dialogue that seems largely improvised on the spot. Combined with the fact that it was primarily filmed on location, this ensures a high degree of authenticity. It's a shame that the dialogue is often muddled and superficial.

Basically, a decent film; the tone and calm are somewhat pleasant. But I didn't really believe either character or their relationship. The film reminded me more of Woody Allen's lesser work or Alexander Payne's, with a lot of nonsense that seemed written specifically for the film. 2.0*.

A rare and beautiful film! Real, deeply moving emotions, as if they weren't staged... a gem among the many films!
