Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Must See Movie...

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I don't know but it's like guilty pleasure, I always like those romance movies couple walk around city and all the chats. Like Chris Evan - Before You Go. Although it looks like low budget romance movie, the small talks are really good, absolutely hilarious in places. The sound track is really excellent, slow and mellow go along with the movies.

I watched 5 minutes and couldn't really handle the vibe It felt very low-budget, it actually looked like they were just messing around with the camera? I can't judge fully due to not watching the whole movie, but it really didn't make me want to continue watching I'm giving it a 2 because I feel mean giving a 1 I have watched some movies lately and judged them by their ratings, was that a bad idea! I wouldn't go by the rating for this one the cover also made it look better than was so as the saying goes never judge a book by its cover and yeah i'm now trying to fill the lines up so i can post this and yeah hopefully this review will be helpful to some that is all

The "Mumblecore" genre refers to a relatively recent wave of ultra low budget films which explore relationships between young adults, utilise 16mm or digital cameras, and copy the styles of Cassavetes, Fassbinder, Crowe, Linklater and Kevin Smith.In an attempt to draw mainstream attention, most of these films hide a rather saccharine, Hollywood plot beneath their gritty exteriors, and "In Search Of A Midnight Kiss" is no different. Written and directed by Alex Holdridge, the film follows a 29 year old guy called Wilson (endearingly played by Scoot McNairy), a failed screenwriter whose friends set him up on a blind date with Vivian (played with vulnerability by Sara Simmonds), a failed actress.Upon meeting Vivian, Wilson is initially put off by her rock hard exterior. Their first encounter plays like an audition or business meeting, Vivian quickly sizing Wilson up and then offering him 24 hours with her. If they don't hit it off by then, they'll cut the ropes. No questions asked. Wilson agrees.Gradually, however, the external defences of both characters are broken down. It becomes clear that they're both lonely, neither wanting to be alone at midnight as its New Years Eve. And so we watch as they walk and talk (shades of "Two Days In Paris", "Four Nights Of A Dreamer", "In The City of Sylvia", "Before Sunset", "Before Sunrise" etc), eavesdropping on their conversations and sharing their intimate moments.The film's surface romance is cute and engaging, Holdrige inserting enough raunchy jokes to undercut any gooey sentimentality and enough emotion to elevate the crassness. But it's the stuff behind the surface plot that's more interesting. For example, the film is implicitly about the romance of film-making and the pain of being stuck in the world of low budget indies. Holdrige's film is subconsciously autobiographical, romanticising theatre houses, cameras and his love for actresses, but juggling these pleasures with a kind of grungy cynicism, the lowly screenwriter stuck with a pregnant actress in an LA filled with derelict theatre houses. Despite its grasps for mainstream attention, this is a sad film about being resigned to the fate of the lowly digital camera.Which is why it is bizarre that every review of this film praises its black and white photography. There are two versions of "In Search Of A Midnight Kiss", one in supposedly "ugly" digital colour and one in supposedly "beautiful" and "glossy" black-and-white, which reviewers inappropriately compare to Woody Allen's "Manhattan". But the truth is, it is the colour version of the film that is far more beautiful. The digital footage looks poorly lit, grungy, flat, but conveys an intimacy, a special ambiance, reality and rawness which the slick, glossy black-and-white version, which was cynically calculated to appeal to mainstream audiences and art house crowds, does not.8/10 – Though too heavily indebted to Linklater (amongst others), the film nevertheless works well. Note - stick to the colour release. Sensualists like Mann and Lynch have proved the powers of digital. Audiences need to catch up to digital's intimacy and stop avoiding it.Worth one viewing.

With a micro budget and a cast of no name stars this is a film that will go unnoticed by many and almost will be ignored by the masses due to its micro budget and lack of advertising. It's obvious that a lot of effort and care has been put into the making of this very involving film. Hopefully, it will beat the odds and find a wide and appreciative audience. It was certainly a pleasure watching such an engaging and enjoyable low budget romantic drama. A huge contrast in comparison to mindless big budget movies. The wonderful and well developed script was integral to this movie. The plot centers around a depressed writer and an eccentric girl who meet on New Years Eve after she answers his ad on Craigslist. Although, somewhat draggy in the middle the movie really picks as it goes along hitting it's mark on a perfect note at the end. Some moments of comedy occasionally come off as amateurish. Thankfully, this is not the focus of the movie. It's very emotionally open, honest and frank. More often than not the movie feels genuine in the way that the storyline develops and eventually concludes. Budget constraints are noticeable but don't significantly detract from the production.
