I friend of mine saw this movie at SXSW and recommended it to me. I'm not a big fan of independent films so I was reluctant to take her advise, but I'm so glad I did. I was surprised to see recognizable actors and actresses like Bruce McGill and Joey Lauren Adams. Josh Danziger and Olesya Rulin were awesome in their lead roles. There are several twists and turns in the story that kept me engaged throughout the film. Its rare to find an independent film put together this well. I didn't really feel like I was watching an independent film. The cinematography was great, the story was engaging and the acting was really good. I would definitely recommend this one.

First and foremost what sold me on this film was Bruce McGill. Above and beyond any other connection I've had with the film this man is seriously top form and always has been. Bar none, period, end of story. If you give him a chance to tell you into a story, you will love this film.Now that this film is on Netflix you should take the time to see it and rate it, both here and on your streaming service. The film has been out since March 8 2012 and there less than 200 ratings here on IMDb. Thats sad indie film lovers. Because if you travel in the same circles I do you've gone way out of your way for new good movie content constantly and failed...time and again...but not here.What I'm here to tell you is that "APART" will not disappoint. I don't want to give anything away and heck, I am obviously biased. I've worked with these guys and hope to again. So don't listen to me, just give it a chance and I think you'll like it. It's a fresh slice of what you don't see from big-budget studio pictures so much these days. If you like that about Apart...for good or bad, please rate this film and give it even just a few words of review here on IMDb so it can reach more people. The last user review said it best: he won't regularly watch anything under a five and this film simply does not fall into that category. Plus you get four solid actors in reasonably messed up situations...it was fun and I'm honored to log in and write this to help Apart succeed.

Apart – TRASH IT (C-) A movie about two lovers becoming victim of Folie à deux (Induced delusional disorder (F.24) ICD-10) is a great notion on the paper but somehow it didn't translate well on screen. Apart moves chronically and at times non-chronically, which makes it's really confusing. When you choose a topic as confusing as (F.24) ICD-10 its better to move the movie in more sensible manner. Olesya Rulin does her part well coming out from Disney movies. Josh Danziger is expressionless most of the times. And all emotions seems same on his face he was as miserable after the accident as he was before. FYI if you have wrote the movie it doesn't give you the permission to star in it as well. Overall, Apart makers were thinking they' were making something indie phenomena but unfortunately it became indie disappointment.

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.
