Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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

yanivr It seems the other comments talk plenty about the film. I will just add that I've seen the film more than one time and each time... it gets better. The nuances are so honest and the layers within the dynamics of the characters and the situations are so organic, it's a blessing that a film this good ever gets made. At first, it seems that IMOMF would be a specific type of film for a specific type of audience, however the film is one of those films that resonate in your body and stays with you, you find yourself replaying moments for days in your head, strangely wanting to see these moments again. It's honestly suitable for a pretty broad audience which is uncanny. A smart film that can reach a wide audience? It's still possible, and this film is proof of that.

l-grijalva I had the good fortune to enjoy a Q and A with the filmmaker tonight. I enjoyed this films honesty and its refreshing perspective of the tiresome subject of human relationships fusion bombing against a bereavement backdrop EI (Big chill,Magnolia). This guy has a gift for what to edit out and show some confidence in his audiences imagination. I could not thank him more for keeping the dialog short,sharp and grasping hard on you,then poof...gone. Really interesting way of telling an old familiar tale. A real joke that he had trouble with distribution. Not surprising though. We have to seek out a good flick nowadays,while junk is at our doorstep. I will certainly keep my eyes open for his book "Self Help" I believe. Though making a film like this is all the self help any normally addled person could ever need.

laceyjaine I can not imagine a funnier or more poignant film than "in Memory of My Father". I laughed so hard I almost fell out of my chair and I was restrained compared to the audience around me. Eric Michael Cole might be the finest actor of his generation, and I use the word fine to to describe both his performance and his looks. I think I'm in love. I know I am not the first person to compare writer/director/ star Chris Jaymes to a modern day Chekov, and I am sure that I will not be the last. His sense of irony and the outrageous combines flawlessly with his universal understanding of family friendship, and of course "the biz" to create a mix of "The Big Chill" "The Player" and "Dazed and Confused". I couldn't have had a more pleasurable ninety six minutes, and look forward to its wide release. I only hope my funeral will be this exciting.

mike14780 Having been dragged to many indie films, some good and some bad, I was somewhat hesitant to see this film when my friend suggested it tonight. Thankfully, it was worth the whole 10 smackaroos to watch a seamlessly edited mockumentary (i guess that is what it is?) that delves into America's affluent youth (I grew around kids like these...). Anywho, well worth it and spread the word about this young up and coming talent! And he's a looker too! :) The dialogue, in the words of the writer / director (there in the audience), was tailored to the actor. If you notice, the actors all use their first names in this movie. At times, it was VERY difficult to tell whether it was scripted or improvised (Chris said it was all scripted, yet he asked the actors to improvise a little... 85/15). Regardless, the actors came through with great performances and I can't wait to see what will come of this cool, hip, intelligent film.
