When watching indie films, I admit I am overly critical. The truth is, I grew up watching and experiencing studio-backed films with limitless budgets that captured the best effects, talent, story, and sound. I never thought much about how they got there or what was involved in the process.

Now that my child is studying and creating films, I am hyper aware of what each project involves. The sweat-equity far outweighs the budget and that makes me want to love each indie film I see. I want them all to succeed because I know they stem from passion, perseverance, and a desire to showcase a worthwhile product. But they are not all worthy of accolades. In fact, much like seeing someone else's kid in a middle school performance, some of the indie films I've seen are downright hard to watch for their lack of meeting my snobby, mainstream moviegoing standards.

Breakup Season was one of the rare gems in the indie film genre that was an absolute pleasure to watch. The story was raw and real. The locations were ideal and picturesque. The sound (my biggest pet peeve) was well done, and the music compilation was brilliant. The quality of the editing was impressive. Best of all, the acting was lovely, relatable, and inspiring. Well done EVERYONE involved in the making and production of this film.

Breakup Season is a movie that will touch your heart, make you laugh and cry, and remind you of why family - quirky though they be - is the foundation of love.
