Synopsis

In the city of Los Angeles, millions of lives intersect everyday, but each individual is still isolated from the whole. A number of strange incidents occur to four men and four women, just as their own lives begin to spiral out of control. Surrounded by con artists, frauds, drug addicts, and homeless people, a story starts to form in a screenwriter's head. Little does he know, his characters seem to have come to life as well. Things takes a surprise turn, as these LA residents find themselves locked into a mystery together. While relating to quantum mechanics, our own spiral galaxy, and the struggle of human existence, an urban love story grows out of the vine of disconnection.

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
rayzone1 I like that line at the beginning of this super crazy movie (if you can call it a movie, because it's not built like any kind of conventional movie for the most part). Where do you start when talking about this really? I mean for someone looking for a thrillride or a fun time this is totally not the right ticket. I mean for some people like me and maybe some of my buddies it's a cool and unique ride, but for most people this is gonna be way too trippy or hard to follow. What made me like it enough to want to talk about it at all is how truly different it is from pretty much anything I've seen in the last 10 years. It has no name actors in it, it feels like reality television then flips on it and gets strange, it has really hypnotic visuals and good music. There's a lot of other stuff like the sheer diversity of the cast and their looks. The girls in the movie are super hot, and in a way that's so not Hollywood. I don't know. The kicker for me that makes me hope other people out there like this too, is that it felt like a new kind of midnight movie or cult film. SPOILER: The parts with the angels esp. when they approach the actual director of the movie you're watching is freaking awesome. But the scene that will forever make this so weird and special is the one where the young girl bumps into the two imaginary characters/homeless angels and the whole conversation gets super deep and also robotic. I recommend it if you can actually find it. Good extras on the DVD too esp. the short film The Tunnel and the commentary
macygrayscale I ended up watching it twice actually. I watched it last night then this morning, and ordered the DVD from Amazon here in UK. I thought it was going to be a weird movie from the start but I had no idea how weird. It's not like anything I've seen before and my boyfriend loves cult movies and obscure art films. This is weirder an dare I say more original. It's obviously small budget and also obvious that the director and actors and all made it their own weird way. But I've never seen anything that played with the feeling and mood of reality TV like this did. It was like taking shows like Intervention and Big Brother and putting them on acid or something. Also it's like an anti-drug movie but the movie itself feels like a drug. I thought I was hallucinating parts of it when it was playing on the computer. Now mind you I did only see it on our Mac computer at home and not in a theatre or DVD but I will when I get it. I think some people will for sure hate this movie expecting anything normal or plot driven like a Hollywood film. This is totally art-house weirdness. It's like a documentary but it's not. It's like a J-Horror film, but it's not. It's definitely a mystery and sci fi. I'd say it's like taking The Secret and Pi and Slacker and The Wall and The Blair Witch Project and making them into one movie. Now that's effin weird! Can't wait to trip out to it with friends on telly.
djnofly This film is like old time radio meets art-house... It is a mind trip and a seamless experimental bit of madness!!! Probably one of the first noise films with an actual plot. Ten people did not sit in a room and try to discuss whether or not you would like this film, but the makers probably made it for themselves. If you don't get the film you probably get board with yourself a lot or are indoctrinated into the stereotypical BS Hollywood advertisement film. It is not a point A to point B Mary Kate and Ashley film, but a film that asks the viewer to put themselves into a situation that is not clearly defined. The special effects are non traditional and the music is very transcendental. Ramsi Abed may be a bit of an Egoist in some of the scenes asking a lot of the audience's patience, but any film maker should be... This is not a film for the weak minded.
shelagh gunn I managed to sit through about 15 minutes of this film with my partner before scanning through it to see whether anything even remotely interesting happens! It appears to be an extremely low budget film with special effects straight out of ghost or early superman films, with locations as interesting as my friends couch! As for the storyline, the majority of what i saw was 5 minutes each of watching people having phone conversations with very little dialogue at all and the acting, well, it reminded me of a bad porn film! Even from just scanning through 'in a spiral state', I felt 'mind-numbed'!! I've never commented on here before but this film inspired me to register in order to warn others not to waste their time and money!!!
