The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Josh Danziger did an outstanding job! It will remind you of a sixth sense. The music is memorable and the acting is very good.The cast consists of Olesya Rulin and Josh Danziger. The movie takes them on a path of destruction. I saw the SXSW version last year in Austin and then I saw the finished product at the Sundance Theater in Houston Texas. The final release blew me away. Joey Lauren Adams, Bruce McGill, and Oleysa and Josh do an amazing job! I encourage you to see this film. Josh and Oleysa share the same genetic disease but neither of them know it. They cause chaos and tragedy whenever they come together.Based on a real disease the characters have a love story with a twist.I recommend the film and hope it hits more theaters soon. I liked the film and give it a 9.

Within the first five minutes I wanted to FB "like" the lead male actor. He didn't come across as over-acting, but came close a couple of times. There were just a couple of familiar faces which allowed me to get into the characters. It was nice not knowing where specifically this film took place because it was irrelevant to the plot. And the closing credits, well the credits had me thanking the whole crew for getting TOGETHER on this film. A great tie-in to the flow of the entire film.Is it hard to follow? Yes. And all the more rewarding when you do. This is film offers cerebral stimulation rather than couch-potato viewing. If you prefer not to use your imagination to draw conclusions, if you worry about being too confused to enjoy a film, or if you would rather spend an hour-and-a-half watching plots as deep as "See Spot Run" then don't watch this movie.However, if you liked "Brick" and enjoy well written scripts, excellent visuals, and a kind of supernatural component to your films, I highly recommend "Apart." Don't take my word for it. Netflix instant this film.

"Apart" starts with the premise that two teenagers share the same psychological infliction: induced delusional disorder. Apparently, they are the only two people on the planet with this disorder. Based on that "fact" I assumed it was a made up disorder, and so I sat waiting for my way in to experience their reality. They never gave me any such connection. Afterwards, I discovered it was a real disorder, but one that only two fictional characters suffer from they tried to have me believe.Although marketed as a psychological thriller, the romantic angle of teen love was really played up. And I was left wondering why they were trying to make that any more dramatic or mysterious when teenagers do a pretty good job of that themselves. But then again the entire movie is about wondering in confusion trying to figure things out.Something occurred. What? We don't know. When? We don't know. Why, or how? Obviously, we don't know. Who? I assumed it was our two main tragic, teenage heroes, but the more I watched I got the impression that it was most likely disastrous events occurred to other random characters but which Noah and Emily observed.The disorder that Noah and Emily have is one where they experience delusions, shared delusions, where they are seeing the exact same hallucinations. They can never be sure of their reality or their sanity. We can't be sure either.But the problem is, I couldn't even follow what was going on. With lots of jumpy editing, we went from flashback to flashback to flashforward? Perhaps. I don't know what time frame the present was. The two youngest actors could be identified as our main protagonists in their childhood years, but past that, I couldn't always distinguish as to whether they were teenagers, older teenagers, young adults or slightly older young adults. For all I know, there could have been even more ages that we jump around to.It was definitely dark, it could be thrilling if there was any narrative to hang on to, but "Apart" was mostly just confusing.

Based on the first review, this movie has an Oscar in it's future. Yeah, right. 10 out of 10 eh? On the same level of Apocalypse Now, Taxi Driver, Avatar, On The Waterfront, Citizen Kane, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Artist, Bladerunner, Fargo, etc, etc, etc... very plausible! IMDb should not allow ratings for the first 10 reviews a movie gets since many will be 10/10 plants. This is the worst movie ever - on the level of Killer Tomatoes and The Blob and the Ratings Manipulator. IMO anyway.I recommend that you watch the movie and write a genuine review for it so that the public can come to their own conclusions as to whether they may choose to watch.. or pass up this 'gem'.
