Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

bettycjung 5/15/18. 83 minutes was just about the right length to watch this extremely emotionally difficult movie of two women trying to reconnect on an emotional level. One is never sure what kind of a relationship they had before this movie takes place, except maybe it was intense and drug-addled. As they bicker at each other for most of the movie you get a glimpse of what probably kept them together. As they get up on stage and gave an impromptu performance in the present, you can feel the electricity between them that all but dissipated once they got off the stage. The performance was probably the only thing worth watching.

SnoopyStyle Vic (Tracy Wright) and Kat (Molly Parker) are childhood friends and former rock duo Trigger. Vic is a recovering drug addict and trying to live a stable life in Toronto. There is a benefit tribute titled Women in Rock and the duo is being celebrated. Vic is leery of Kat's wavering sobriety and selling out in L.A. as Kat returns to attend the tribute. They reconnect after breaking up some ten years earlier.It's a talkative movie with Wright and Parker. There is a constant waiting for a reveal of what happened to their relationship. It doesn't necessarily satisfy in that sense but there is a surprise reveal. There are some solid relationship moments. It does lack something bigger or more dramatic. In the end, it's a shorter film that has a lot talk but some of it does go in circles.

joehill-231-723163 Two women, Vic and Kat, formerly of a band called "Trigger" meet after being apart.Nothing happens. There is no interaction with males. Vic and Kat talk to one another, quarrel, and reconcile. They take to the stage once and Vic picks up a bass to play and sing even though there already is a bassist playing.The dialog at the end of the movie must have been changed but that part of the movie was not re-shot. Vic and Kat speak to each other without moving their lips and are mute when their lips are moving. This was not a buffering problem as I watched it again with captioning and the audio matched the captioning and not the facial gestures.This is a made in Canada movie. I'm sure that it was shot with great aspirations. Something went wrong, they ran out of money or the cast rebelled but this film is defective and unfinished. It had an ending patched on to it and was released, likely to get a tax break for those who invested in this very substandard movie.

Bill Adams Movies that are heavily dialogue based don't come along very often. It is a difficult task to master and it requires some brilliant writing(MacIvor) and talented direction (MacDonald) to hold an audience's interest. Before Sunrise did this well, as did Before Sunset. The key elements are: a strong cast,and a subject that is important to more than just the characters on the screen.This story takes place over the course of an evening. Following a montage of flashback scenes we find Vic (Tracy Wright)waiting for Kat (Molly Parker)in a restaurant where Vic does not want to be. She finds the place to be ostentatious, though Vic finds a much simpler way to say it. During the meal some light begins to shine on these two women and their oil and vinegar relationship.After the restaurant, and a couple of flashes to what might have happened if, the camera journeys along with the pair to a 'Women in Music' tribute concert that just happens to be going on. Toronto at night gets some screen time as the drama of the reunion of the former friends continues. If you are looking for a concert film, or the history of rock 'n' roll, then this is not the one for you. It is dialogue driven, rather than musically motivated. It is a story about relationships and life. There is one performance and that seems pretty amazing since the two have not see in each other in ten years. Sometimes the movie takes itself too seriously trying to offer the meaning of life, love and happiness through the words of a couple of former wannabe rock stars. The performances by Molly Parker and Tracy Wright are compelling. There is a chemistry that makes the tension and competition between the women credible. Even after only knowing them for seventy-eight minutes the viewer is left caring about the characters and the outcome.
