This is a really good indie road movie. While it is not rich in story, the film's on-the-road atmosphere is very authentic. Christopher James Lang did a good job directing this film on location at various places in Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The film's characters are likeable and feel like genuine real-life people. Amanda Todisco is especially good in the lead and it is surprising that this was her first feature film. It is also of note that the soundtrack is very well-compiled and features excellent americana songs by a number of talented independent artists and bands that are not widely known but make great music. It surprises me that a film as good as this and which is already a couple of years old is still so obscure. At the time of writing, OUR LIFE IN MAKE BELIEVE has a meager 59 votes on IMDb and no comments at all. That's often just the way it is with independent films. If you want to check the film out, I discovered it on Amazon Prime.
