pornstar-6 After watching this film i immediately had to find out who made it , and find out everything else they had done....then, had to find out what all the actors had done...then i had to see what everyone was getting up to next.well, don't bother. save yer bandwidth. The guy who wrote it, directed it, and starred in it. Gavin Hefferman. 23 years old, took a year to complete between pre and post while studying. its filmed on digital with a 10k budget, using a cast of unknowns. I found this out after watching it.i think this is one of the BEST films I've seen this year. all the characters are totally believable, the script isn't far-fetched, but when its unusual or foreign, its still very believable. i think there's maybe 3 songs used in the whole film, and one of those is classical played on hifi in the script.I think if i knew how the film was made, and the budget, i probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much, i would have expected more. but with out that level of expectation, trying to chop down a young filmmaker, i thoroughly enjoyed the whole moofee. i couldn't think of a fault now if i tried.I could write about details or plot or crap, (if thats what you want, read a different review) I gotta go and give friends my copy to watch......

kevingotbeat Loved this film. Quite unlike anything I've ever seen before.Absolutely worth checking out. A film about Religion made with such subtlety that I imagine most wouldn't even realize the true theme of the film..

shawnkanderson I just so happened to see the CANDADIAN premiere of this film at the VICTORIA film festival! I must say, out of the four films that I traveled to Victoria (which is a long way from my home) to see, of the last weekend of January, this film (VERY surprisingly) was the best film I saw....better yet, it is the BEST film ive ever SEEN.I was thinking that this would be a cheap bore, and I couldn't wait to get to the other movies; but it turned out towards the ending that I cryed at the sheer beauty of the film.Always moving forward through about 70 different locations, the film always keeps you intrigued. The filming is incredible and the story is so beautifully mastered that you get completely absorbed by the film.If you've got a copy of this DVD (like i did!), then show it to as many people as you can. This man's work needs to be witnessed by the world.A friggin' 11/10 is what this film gets.

galerubenstein I had an opportunity to see this film at the New York Digital Film Festival in November and I was completely blown away by it. Despite being made at a fraction of the cost of a Hollywood feature, this film stands absolutely toe to toe with any mainstream release. With no word of a lie, the cinematography is better than some Academy Award winning film's I've seen. The music, acting, and direction are all on pace with, if not better than the average Hollywood release. Janet Lane is beautiful and incredible as Rachel and if she doesn't become a superstar in the next month, I'll eat my shoes. I don't know how these filmmakers did it, but 15 minutes into the movie, I had forgotten the rest of the world existed. As Sam and Niki arrived in Montreal, it was like I was in the backseat, arriving with them..The story's a little tricky to summarize. Think of it as a cross between "After Hours" and "Eyes Wide Shut" with a little "Rebel Without a Cause" thrown in also... But I think the reason its so hard to explain is because these filmmakers are really walking on some original turf here. I think you'll know what I'm talking about when you see the scene on the roof... At the festival's Q+A session, writer/director/editor/star Gavin Heffernan nailed it when he said Expiration is a "an extremely complicated, simple story about childhood" You're gonna see this thing in theatres, and when that happens, PLEASE go check it out. Finally a movie that doesn't suck.
