The man on the phone was an extraordinary actor. Unbelievably natural. I would have thought it was a real call, if I hadn't known it was a film.

AWR 2023.11.24 - 6:32 am

This short film left more of an impression on me than most feature length films. It's amazing that a good script and great actors can make a phone call so compelling.

Bonnie Yuse 2023.11.24 - 6:35 am

Happy Go Lucky ❤

Sally Hawkins is so expressive – with Jim Broadbent it's a dream team. Wonderful film.

A beautiful and sad film. I just didn't want it to end. Please can we have more.

Thomas Decarlo 2023.11.24 - 4:33 pm

Wow …. That hits you hard

The Mindful Minute 2023.11.24 - 5:21 pm

That was so amazing. Really. Felt really horrible that John couldn't be saved. But it gave such a huge impact and perspective – to have lived through love. To have found someone so amazing. And living through all kinds of times together.

conniehanses 2023.11.24 - 5:49 pm

I am completely welled-up….just waiting for the over flow to fall…💙🌎

Mags Breault 2023.11.24 - 6:30 pm

Gorgeous, from start to finish. Bravo Mat Kirkby and James Lucas for writing a profoundly rich treatise on the transient nature of the human experience.

nancy wysemen 2023.11.24 - 8:12 pm

yeah…..

DarkHorse 2023.11.24 - 9:40 pm

A very touching exchange between these two characters. The one thing I take issue with is the end, when John's wife comes through the door. I sincerely hope people don't take their own lives in the hope of seeing a loved one. This is pure fantasy.
