If only this had continued to be the gorgeous film this started out as. But alas. After the eleven minute mark, it went steeply downhill.
The biggest problem is that they made girl #1 (stunningly beautiful, talented, incandescent Katherine Hughes) TOO gorgeous and perfect, with the pair having TOO much natural chemistry. How could anyone else EVER measure up?
Enter girl #2, "Caitlyn" - dumber than a box of hair, not even cute (though she sure thinks she is), and one of the most irritating characters of all time. In order for the premise of the film to work at all, girl #1 needed to be less ideal, and/or girl #2 needed to be less terrible. It just doesn't work, as is. It would have benefitted from a whole lot more Katherine Hughes.
Though I suppose it makes sense, for a film about grief, that I should have spent the whole thing grieving for the wonderful film that could have been.
The cinematography, songs, and score were lovely, at least.
