The Pretend One

It has been a long time since I've written a review for a movie, but for this one, I just had to. It can be seen as slow and it's an Australian indie, but it makes for a wonderful film. The cinematography was stunning, the script was heartfelt and clever, the soundtrack fit perfectly - especially towards the end. The concept behind this film is inspiring and unlike something I've ever seen. It's touching, it's funny, it's sweet, and there are certain moments of intimacy between characters that were so subtle (they felt like little inside jokes or references) that they really made this feel believable, which I definitely accredit to the actors and everyone else who made the overall feelings of heartache but hopefulness that was present throughout possible - they did amazing. I loved it.
