Promise Me Not

About This Movie

So, "Promise Me Not" is really this quirky blend of genres, right? You've got comedy, crime, and a sprinkle of fantasy all wrapped up in a peculiar love story. The pacing is a bit uneven but that kind of adds to its charm. The lovers, facing these wild obstacles, decide to end it all just to reunite in another life—classic trope but with a twist. They go through three different lives over a million years, which gives it this sprawling, almost epic feel. The practical effects are modest but they pull off some interesting visuals that fit the dreamlike quality of the narrative. Performances have this raw emotion that can be hit-or-miss, but when they hit, it resonates. It's definitely distinctive in its approach to love and sacrifice.
