In Search of a Midnight Kiss

Sunday 21st December 5:00 PM

Synopsis

We're a few days early (the midnight kiss is for 10 days hence) but it's fun: newly-single, failed writer Wilson just wants to spend the rest of a very bad year in bed, but he's pushed by a friend into posting an online personal ad on New Year's Eve. That the self-deprecating "Misanthrope to Misanthrope" ad he reluctantly writes gets a response at all is surprising. But then attractively glamorous blonde Vivian is full of surprises, most of them unpleasant. Like a spikier Before Sunrise, what ensues is in turn hilarious, deeply touching, chaotic and charming as these two quirky personalities edge through the Los Angeles evening towards midnight.

Critics

“One of those raunchy-funny, smart and bittersweet no-budget movies that restores your faith in indie film”

ROGER MOORE, ORLANDO SENTINEL
