Everlasting (2016)

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Heartbreaking in its being so devastatingly relatable to what we see in the news every day. The acting was very real, especially as the parent of a rebellious, emotionally lost 22 year old daughter and the stepmom of an independent 20 year old stepdaughter starting out in the world in a city with a lot of crime. I love indie films and this one does not disappoint. Interesting way to get across very personal point of view.

This film is a thriller about a high school student's search for his girlfriend's killer. More compelling to me, it's the story of a lost girl trying to break out of her sad life, never realizing that she's enough. This film captures the intensity of first love, well played by Valentina de Angelis as the doomed Jessie and Adam David as Matt, the boy who loves her. Elizabeth Röhm plays Jessie's mother who can't get her act together long enough to notice how much her daughter needs her.

Superb indie film. The two main characters have great chemistry together and their love for each other is genuine. The emotional connections are captivating and the thrilling journey is perfectly woven into a dark David Lynch style film with eerie visuals and some odd characters. Director Anthony Stabley has once again masterfully captured the "outsider" generation of American-youth culture as he previously did in his films Electronica 1 and 2. His keen eye for capturing deviant sub cultures is something to admire and look forward to in his next films.I also love the editing techniques switching between hand held camera shots to past memories and then back to real time. Great story telling both verbal and visual from start to finish.

I like non linear storytelling so that automatically makes this movie right up my alley. I would definitely call it more of a thriller than a horror movie, so if you're looking for out and out blood and guts, this is not that kind of movie. But so what? The story is what's important and that's the big plus with this movie. I like that they take their time and don't allow the audience to get ahead of the movie. The story tells enough visually that some of the dialogue wasn't necessary, but that's speaks more positively about the visual effectiveness of this movie as opposed to saying something negative about the dialogue. All and all an enjoyable indie film!
