PrimeWire

I don’t normally write anything but positive reviews here, mostly because there are plenty of folks who do that already and are much better at the negative review thing than I am, but sometimes you just gotta warn people about things. I feel this is one of those times.

This film is an independent, low-budget release made in Toronto. None of those things make it bad, and in fact there are many really good films with those same qualities. What makes this one different is the really oddball premise it sets for an alternate present-day where you and your partner can be tested to see if you are both in love with the other, or just one, or neither is. The test requires the use of an entire fingernail, however.

An interesting idea, but I don’t think the potential was fully explored, and the primary story arc seemed to be about one woman’s search for the meaning of love, with whomever she found it. It seemed rather convoluted and dreary, to be honest. As much as we tried, we could not make it to the end. So I’m willing to admit that maybe it saves itself in the end. If it does, I’m not sure that would have been enough.

Go in with caution.
