“Iu0026#39;d never heard of Brilliantlove, the production company, director or any of the cast and so on. Discovered it when browsing through a mateu0026#39;s eclectic DVD collection… He said, u0026quot;watch this, itu0026#39;s a little gemu0026quot; – And I concur – I was pleasantly surprised. (Iu0026#39;m an action movie with explosions and CGI overload lover!) I wonu0026#39;t go into the plot, other reviewers do a good job of this. Just want to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this little film – a low-budget British production with high production values: it looks nice, the garage is great in itu0026#39;s shabbiness, the cast are wonderful esp. the two leads who have genuine on-screen chemistry and are totally believable as a couple.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI liked the quirky-yet-sweet Noon with her wonderfully random hair styles and chipped nails with the floppy-haired, bendy-bodied Manchester. The couple are happy and funny: they laugh, they love, they are mad and random, yet endearing and vulnerable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI am (like another reviewer) rather taken aback at the low score for this film, as not only has every review Iu0026#39;ve read has been positive, but it deserves better. A simply told drama with realism and quality – and love behind the camera – it is a winner for me. Especially when unexpected and without hype. I havenu0026#39;t watched a more refreshing, enjoyable, well-put-together little film in… well, I canu0026#39;t remember when!”
