A nice, contained story. It is a dialogue-driven film with lots of surprises weaved in throughout the narrative. If you're willing to be patient and experience something a little deeper, give it a watch.

At first, it looks like a conversation between old friends, and it is, but as the story progresses you learn more about these characters and their pasts. Intriguing storyline! Some really beautiful cinematography of city scenery as well.

I saw this one at the Phoenix Film Festival but it is on Amazon now. I love when a low budget indie keeps the focus on the script and the performances. This one plays it smart and does exactly that. No glossy film making. Just a solid (and surprising) story! Well done.

A well-made indie that explores friendships (both new and old) and asks a philosophical question about truth and lies. A quiet film with solid performances. And I really loved the music. Whoever did it should be proud.

I enjoyed this terrific film from beginning to end! The actors I thought did a great job and the story kept me engaged throughout. Hats off to the director who kept the film moving along at a very nice pace. Good work and well done to all!!

This film rewards a patient viewer. It's very much a conversation piece, but I say that it in a good way. It's as if we get a fly-on-the-wall look at the lives of these interesting characters. Definitely something I'm glad I clicked on and gave a watch :)

The action in this film is in the dialogue mostly between the two lead actors who are very good. Well shot and good use of locations. Makes one think about ethics and truth versus subterfuge and deceit.

So on the outside two men talking should not make for a great movie. Wrong. This lovely little indie is a beautifully written, nicely paced and well performed little gem.

Highly recommended.

The brilliance of the film extends beyond the performances to the written word itself. The screenplay is a work of art, displaying a meticulous craftsmanship that elevates the narrative to a level of intellectual and emotional profundity. The dialogue is not merely a means to convey information but a poetic dance that enriches the storytelling, providing the audience with a thought-provoking and immersive experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this cinematic opus to discerning viewers who appreciate the profound impact of a well-crafted narrative that explores the intricate tapestry of human relationships with unparalleled depth and resonance.

Whiskey Sour is the debut feature film of writer and director Christopher Selby.

Cal Baker played by Sean Dillingham is a mild mannered man living and working in the city of Phoenix in Arizona.

Allthough he has a good home life and is on verge of a promotion at his job you cant help but feel like theres something missing and he cant put his finger on what it is.

Cals fortunes change when his old friend Joe (Richard O Ryan) gets in touch after a long stint away they agree to go for dinner at a restaurant and shared their favourite drinks: Whiskey.

What unfolds is a contemplative dialogue driven piece about regrets, the challenges of commitent, the nature of truth and the pros and cons of ranch dressing.

Whiskey Sour covers a demographic you dont see represented often in cinema anywhere in the world. Middle aged working class men.

The dialogue captures the rhythms of life and the anxieties and harsh truths we all carry but rarely wat to say out loud.

It was interesting watching the contrast between the introverted Cal to the charismatic Joe who walks into every room like he owns it effortlessly makes friends with everyone he meets and doesnt mince his words.

The film Reminds me of Alexander Paynes 'Sideways" or "Dinner With Andre" By Louis Malle except less pretensious.
