What a pity...!
2 December 2014 | by (London, England) – See all my reviews

Such good and touching movie. Its story has been told very straightforward and clearly without wasting a minute and grabs your attention from the first minute. The message and closing part is such good that stays with you for hours. Kat Dennings is very lovable and believable in her role, she has done a great job here. Music is also a strong point of it. I strongly recommend to go and watch it in cinemas when its officially released(hopefully in 2015).... but there's only one thing I don't understand.... and that is: This movie has been produced in 2012 and has been showed in a number of film festivals since,.... without having released officially in cinemas for public... Why??? Such good movie why should be stored in those lousy vulnerable hard drives of Sony Pictures company that long till those hackers from North Korea( or whatever) can get their dirty hands on it and publishing it over the peer to peer websites for people to download it for free?? that's a great shame... all the hard work of people involving to producing this beautiful movie are wasted now... what a pity... thats sad...
