CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Sweetigal85 I absolutely adored this movie and I am only not giving it a perfect score because of the ambiguous ending. I had no trouble following the pace and flashing forward and backward in the character's mind. This may be a little confusing and irritating to some people though. The framing reminded me very much of the movie Closer. I think this movie Comet would best be suited for artistic, creative people and hopeless romantics.I found the dialogue to be very real and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The two main characters have amazing chemistry together and I didn't even realize until someone else pointed it out in their review that they are pretty much the only people in the entire movie.The scenery was absolutely beautiful and very inspiring. I think Kimberly was more wacky like Dell than she chose to believe. I think they were both very strange, offbeat characters and that is why they fit so well together but also why they tend to clash. The acting was absolutely amazing, definitely Justin Long's greatest performance.I personally would like to believe in the optimistic ending which is that "being pregnant and not leaving Jack" is Kimberly's lie which she had never gotten to tell throughout their relationship. Dell had specifically told her the night that they met that she needed to choose the moment of her lie for a time when he was least expecting it and for when he was in A TRULY VULNERABLE STATE. So when he kisses her in the end and interrupts her, I think she was definitely about to tell him that was her lie and she finally fooled him. That is what I believe because I too do not want to live in a world where Kimberly and Dell do not end up together!

clippcool What an Gem, perfect. There aren't many movies where it's 99%, two characters talking that holds my attention and sounds real. It's was sort of like "Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (without the crazy) in dealing with the challenges of a modern romantic relationship. Justin Long is amazing. I don't understand why he's not a huge star. But, perhaps that's a good thing. His performance in "He's not that into you" was great he was the best thing about that movie. He may not be the typical leading man, but he has a soulful, honest quality that comes across.Emma Rossum was lovely. I've only seen her in "Shameless",which she is wonderful in. In this she hits all the right notes. It was written so well and the performances were so great. Just found it by chance on Netflix.

Jody Bruchon This film has a lot of great things going for it. There is an experimental element in the exposition of "parallel realities" that is a little annoying at first but becomes more effective as the film progresses. In fact, the film uses quite a few techniques that are unconventional, and for the most part they are effective. The central story is obviously a love story, and by now it isn't anything special on its own; you've probably seen this story before, and other reviewers have already covered much of the obvious influences already. The magic is in its execution, and that's where things both work wonderfully and fall apart.As I said, many unconventional ways of presenting the story are used very effectively; I'd not rate the film so highly otherwise. The core of the film is solid. The three stars that I took away come from two major problems: an ambiguous ending and the use of obnoxiously annoying framing choices that every indie film hipster seems to be all about using nowadays.I hate all film endings where the ending is ambiguous. I liken it to ripping the last few pages out of one's favorite novel. Movies where the loose ends are left untied leave me with that feeling you might get if handed a plate of delicious food and then having the plate unexpectedly taken away when you're only half done eating. There is nothing more to say about this problem; some people aren't bothered by it, but I see it as either laziness or being "artsy" to the detriment of your storytelling.The far more serious problem is the one where the "rule of thirds" and other fundamental image composition guidelines are thrown out the window. There are some shots where this works well because the violation of the rule fits with that aspect of the narrative. However, there are far more instances where the framing choices just look plain stupid and make no sense. Leaving a lot of empty frame space behind and/or above the actor's head is a compositional no-no and should only be done in rare instances, but like many other smaller indie films released in the past couple of years, this one falls victim to the director trying too hard to be edgy and clever. It is the Tragedy of the Cinematic Hipster. They've randomly forgotten that the point is to tell a story and that producing a film for mass consumption isn't an artsy film school assignment. A story should work BECAUSE of the camera work, not IN SPITE of it. The overall film suffers a bit; it is distracting at best and obnoxious at worst.If the director's future films spend less time trying to be so edgy, there is a lot of potential for amazing work, but it's too late to save Comet from the indie hipster disease. Still, it's definitely a film worth seeing, and after all of my whining, that's pretty impressive.

Grasswerks Three stars because some of it wasn't done bad. Art, photography, lighting... But they were also pretty damn underwhelming for a film trying to be what it is.The review that says this is Annie Hall is bang on queue. This is got teenagers trying to find a deeper, arty and relatable movie. Teenagers and people who ... are impressed by pseudo art meets pseudo intellectual films.Justin Long is garbage. Emmy Rossum's acting is only as cute as her face = barely. And indeed, the undefined ending is less ambiguous and more like they didn't know what to do with the film once it was done.This movie was recommended on Netflix along with films like Upstream Color. ... Now THAT was a brilliant movie.
