A nice change to watch a film with unknown actors.

Lovely film and funny idea

I like the general idea. And this film is also a very good portrayal of ordinary people. A wonderful change among all the films with special people in spectecular situation.

Gorgeous film!

Thoroughly enjoyed! Entertaining characters. All about the simple things in life - how we get on, communicate. Very funny humour. Don't expect big action scenes but just to enjoy these heartwarming characters.

Great film in it's simplicity!

Lovely film. Wasn't expecting it at all. It kept just with it's characters and let you hear their stories on "The Bench". Sweet, entertaining and funny. I highly recommend this film to anyone with a good sense of humour. I went away thinking about it after and about the subtleties of relationships. 😊

Refreshingly simple!

I really enjoyed this light-hearted comedy drama. I found it refreshingly simple and entertaining.

Lovely heartwarming independent film

[laurahatter · 10/10 · 20 September 2019]

Such a lovely heartwarming film, with some nice comedic touches. In these sort of films which are all shot in one location, performance from the actors is key, and this film really delivers on that front. I'd recommend this if you want some true independent cinema for a cosy night in. Restores your faith in humanity!

Bravo

Its extremely difficult to pull off a one location narrative for a full feature film so i'm very impressed they were able to do it. Check it out on prime video.

A really refreshing, and endearingly funny drama, with such a simple premise! I really enjoyed it... Surprising what you can get across with a very limited setting. The stories all feel grounded in reality
