Apart (2011)

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I was randomly looking through movies on Netflix, and lately the recent chain of movies I have been watching are thriller type movies. But the "cerebral" movies caught my eye. The picture for the film was odd enough and the name as well, plus the description had a certain odd attraction to it. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but surely enough here I am typing out a review for it. The acting in Apart isn't bad at all, and the actual movie is put together quite well. With the colors (and just overall theme) that they use throughout the film the movie can seem rather dark and morbid. But after I watched the movie, I couldn't (and still can't) stop thinking about it and thus had to watch it another half a dozen times. So obviously I love the movie. There isn't any nudity. But there is some language. And the movie may be kinda disturbing to younger viewers. But overall it's a great movie that i would recommend to my friends, and encourage you to watch as well.

to begin, i am in no way affiliated with this film, i don't know anyone associated with this film and this is a completely unbiased review. as you will notice, i have never even written a review on this site before. the reason i am writing one now, is that i would like others to be able to experience an awesome indie film as i have. i always look to IMDb when choosing to watch a film and it was the positive reviews on this site that coaxed me to watch this. i am glad that i did. i will say nothing of the story except that it is definitely worth the time spent to go through it. the cinematography is excellent, the plot is excellent and the acting is good. actually considering the history of one of the leads, the acting is exceptional. the movie slightly borrows from donnie darko at points, although imo doesn't quite live up to darko. but then again donnie darko is a classic imo. anyways, don't pay attention to the rating and do yourself a favor and watch a very good movie. this comes from someone who watches at least 1 movie a day as i work from home and have to be in front of the computer for countless hours and love film.

I was fortunate enough to see Apart in Houston on the night of the premiere with Josh Danziger, the star of the film. It was shot in my home town and my high school, so I was going to see the movie regardless. However, I was truly blown away with the writing, acting, and cinematography of "Apart".The film is a very mature, and dark film and a large undertaking for a freshman writer/actor like Danziger. However, the movie was pulled off spectacularly. The story is rich and layered, and while the non-linear, broken time line may be difficult to follow for some, it is integral to the story line. The way the film is cut and shot really envelops the audience into the storyline and into the psyche of the characters.The film is an amazing psychological and philosophical journey into reality, sanity and what it means to love, exist, and what is real. This isn't your typical high octane thriller, but it is thrilling nonetheless. You will leave the theater questioning more than when you went in, and for this film, that is a good thing.

Based on the first review, this movie has an Oscar in it's future. Yeah, right. 10 out of 10 eh? On the same level of Apocalypse Now, Taxi Driver, Avatar, On The Waterfront, Citizen Kane, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Artist, Bladerunner, Fargo, etc, etc, etc... very plausible! IMDb should not allow ratings for the first 10 reviews a movie gets since many will be 10/10 plants. This is the worst movie ever - on the level of Killer Tomatoes and The Blob and the Ratings Manipulator. IMO anyway.I recommend that you watch the movie and write a genuine review for it so that the public can come to their own conclusions as to whether they may choose to watch.. or pass up this 'gem'.
