Getting to Know You

... this was an unusual movie to watch-rate... so-uneven at points just wanted to stop watching seeing was on verge of cringeness... other times was as as good as majority of the genre.. even a little better... casting definitely-mostly pulling this one through.

I absolutely loved this movie. I wasn't sure I would based on the trailer, but decided to give it a try due to the phenomenal main actors...Can't go wrong with Rupert and Natasha. The story evolved nicely, the chemistry between the main actors was phenomenal, and the music was beautiful. I also liked how the cinematography started and ended at the entrance of the hotel's revolving doors.

So well-done in every way-about how life's most changing events happen in the day-to-day. Wonderfully written and perfectly played. A movie for adults, and both men and women. Not a chick flick. Expressions of genuine friendship among men and maturity amongst women. Sweet, real, uncomplicated but captivating story about the way a few different people interact with one another as they walk though a couple of days of life during a visit to a home town for different reasons for two main characters who meet along the way of their individual reasons for visiting. The things said are what would come out of our own mouths in these encounters-not some overly-wrought scripting even though the feelings and circumstances being dealt with are the stronger ones we deal with in life: a high school reunion-and so much of the garbage that comes with them even though we all secretly go into them with hopes of bedazzlement, and a funeral and house-clearing of a relation. It's not often in a movie that the choices made by the characters are the choices you would make or you would really want someone to make toward you, never over-the-topping it with slapstick to remind you these are characters and not real people. Not here. These are written to be and played to be real people. You just want everything to workout for everyone.

Not 100% solid all the way through. Some of the plot contrivances are forced, but nonetheless, surprisingly touching here and there - and the unpredictable plot keeps us guessing and involved to the end. NIce to see a movie without villains or violence.

The acting by the leads was exceptional, particularly Natasha Little. The first three supporting actor over the top performances were for me unconvincing and cringeworthy. I am glad I kept watching; almost stopped at initial supporting actor performances. I haven't been to a stage play in decades, but this seems very like one. Deep love for someone with whom a life is impossible is a heartbreak I hope few experience.

I really liked this movie so I am writing this review to encourage others to watch I hope the Director/writer writes another one or gives us a sequel. The plot of the movie is fresh. At first, it moves slow and then picks up. It is like love. I really like the lead actress. How she speaks is sooo sexy. You can feel the love. Watch it.

Natasha Little, Rupert Penny-Jones, and Rachel Blanchard star in this well made film. The trick that works is the visible chemistry between Little and Penny-Jones. That tension never realized builds like a forest fire that consumes everything. Their attraction is so explosive that the screen is filled with that unrealized love. This is the first time I have seen something so tangible that is unrequited. There is a lesson in the power of not acting out a momentous emotion until the final moment is consumed by the longest most gentle, lingering kiss. This is a perfect love story where no intercourse interferes.

Absolutely beautiful film complete with wonderful acting and directing. The undeniable chemistry between main characters left me wanting for more, the love story was sincere and touching. The sub-stories with hotel staff were absolutely hilarious, almost theatrical, giving it a nice backdrop and a well- balanced contrast to the main storyline which felt real and gentle. Loved the film. May we have a sequel?
