Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Susanne Not sure I will be able to do this movie justice... but I shall try. I purchased the DVD a few weeks ago (not sure the backstory as to why is relevant), and I have hesitated to watch. Mostly because I don't like violent, dark, evil…yes I'm a wimp… and well I wasn't exactly sure what to make of this from the information I had. So first I need to say, that my concerns were unfounded. This is actually a very human tale, and as large as it seems in scope (something about the lake, and the house, and the group of people), it really is character driven and relatable. I loved the pacing to PIECES! I am one of those people that have most "mysteries" figured out in the first 5 minutes. It's become a thing with my husband and I. We go to the movies and within the first 10 minutes I whisper the whole upcoming story in his ear. (Job Hazzard) You think he would get mad, but it amuses him… anyway.. I had NO clue what was going on in this movie. I found it RIVETING! That alone was worth the price of admission… a true "What the hell? What is this all about…PLEASE tell me more!" piece of entertainment. In the day and age where everything seems to be made for people suffering with short attention spans and the need to be slapped in the face, I so appreciated the deliberate focus, intensity, steady pacing, required cognitive engagement, build of this piece and pay off in the end. (Seriously what grown adult doesn't prefer that model when it comes to things pleasurable?) The characters were all interesting, and very well acted. And though I tend to be more an auditory person, the visuals were quite stunning in this piece. Some beautiful views, and some very dark ones, and the contrast of them made me think about all types of things that I may not have... but I won't say more for fear of divulging some information you shouldn't have before you sit back and let the story unfold for yourself. "How We Got Away With It", is very different than most of the stuff out there, and in an exceptional way. I came to find out later that this was what I guess Hollywood would call a "low budget feature"… that means nothing to me in the viewing audience. This was as entertaining as entertainment can get. All it proves is that all involved were extremely talented, creative and determined. It certainly showed in the final product. Highly recommended! (And thanks to those of you who put yourselves out there for our viewing pleasure!)

zif ofoz Here's another indie flick that keeps the viewer guess at exactly what is happening in this story and then it all comes together! I did so greatly enjoy this movie.I do not want to give away any plot info because that is part of the charm of this story. The plot is spoon fed to you and you keep wanting more and suddenly you get a plate full and you see all the ingredients that made each spoon delicious. You will have to watch this fun movie to understand.The girlfriend Anne plays a pivotal role because she seems clueless until the end ---- then you see how wonderfully Cassandra Freeman played her role. And if you like male eye candy Henry and Will aren't bad to see in their naked scene!!!Bet you want to watch now!

nicole_elmer How We Got Away With It speaks volumes about this understated thriller/drama set between old friends getting together for their ritual "good time" weekend. The performers are all very charismatic and extremely well cast, and equally lead well under the directing of Jon Lindstrom. McCaleb Burnett as the lead holds the torch as the protagonist, responsible for a lot of things darker then just making sure his friends are having fun. His plan nearly falls apart when a cop, Jon Lindstrom, is on to him. The color work on the film works very well in leading the viewer into a new set of emotions, and setting the tone for the scenes. The story is so subtle, and rather than spoon-feeding the audience, it requires the viewer to stay engaged in order to full be rewarded at the end by understanding the full scope of the story. This is a breath of fresh air, when most films do all the work and the audience is required to do nothing. I am also glad to see this film take risks in regards to male nudity. This is a very good debut feature film, and I am excited to see what else Jon Lindstrom will be coming up with next.

roxloulou92 Predictable, annoying, confusing and disturbing movie. If you don't have anything better to do, watch it. Otherwise don't waste your precious time watching this movie. We stopped the movie about 5 times, because it was too much boredom for a person to take. The movie tries to create suspense, which only ends up in a total confusion. The meaning is vain in my humble opinion. Artistically, the movie had good shots, and it had some distracting pictures, but that's pretty much everything the movie can offer. But if you like watching a movie about people getting high, then this is your movie. In other words, the moral of the movie don't smoke weed or you will mess up everything. But the landscape of the movie is quite good.
