Five New Yorkers come to terms with the bittersweet reality of life in this collection of intertwined stories. Single dad Sam struggles to raise his son; elderly Herb honors a deceased friend with a perilous act; musician Jody worries what heartache will do to her pacemaker; free-spirited Malissa cares for her sick mother; and John reels from his failed marriage. Eric Schaeffer, Alan King, Charles Parnell, Jill Sobule and Elizabeth Reaser star.
The coincidences are almost all supremely transparent and the characters gratingly quirky, two faults that committed acting almost redeems. But not quite.
Warm-hearted but clear-eyed indie effort richly repays audience patience during deliberately paced and provocatively allusive early scenes with a cumulative emotional impact that is immensely satisfying.
It's moving, poignant, funny, and charming. Best of all, the characters get the closure they need and when they find renewed hope, it lifts your spirits.
Despite its flaws, Mind the Gap comes together as a beautiful portrait of seemingly unrelated ties that lead to important shifts in the lives of total strangers.
Schaeffer's voice represents the Average Joe in a bar who thinks he has all the answers about the human condition but has nothing interesting to say. Yet, he keeps talking.
Interesting movie I happen to catch by chance. Good movie concerning a small group of seemingly unrelated people and how unique, exciting, dreadful and different life can be.
