Ignore the cover displayed as it makes the move appear to be be a babe exploitation flick from the 60's and has no connection with the film.

Honestly would never have seen this but I enjoy off-beat films and Amazon was nice enough to place it on the prime movie list.

An odd tail of the end of earth/time with a bit of style, humor and wit. I can understand why many will hate this little flick, my wife would have hit me until I flipped it off if she were present when I watched it. But if you enjoy the independent sifi/metaphysical film written with a bit of intelligence, humor and direction you may enjoy this as I did.

Best,

The title alone sounds really interesting, it could have gone a million ways...surprised they chose the path they did. ONE DAY LIKE RAIN starts off decent enough, with two girls in bikinis at a pool, the blond one suddenly freaks out and starts throwing stuff around. Okay, I'm intrigued. I also noticed the brunette was wearing sex bracelets, more intrigued. So the blond goes on about a brilliant master-plan and buys five chemistry sets and once again, freaks out and stomps one to smithereens. Now I'm getting annoyed, her character isn't really redeeming and never really ends up becoming so. She starts experimenting in her garage and then starts dancing around like a madwoman at one point and I realized then that this movie was bad and getting worse. I think the director should focus on directing and not writing as much. Its tough to do both, trust me I know, but I really did like a lot of the shots. Thought the cinematography was above average for such a low budget film but the material and the acting were way off. Bad cover of Season of the Witch but I really liked the dinosaurs walking around at the end in the sandstorm. If there is a deeper meaning, someone please tell me. If you do hold out until the end, you see some skin, but briefly, very, very briefly and, as mentioned before, nothing ever comes of those bracelets. This was not mind-bending, this was mind-boring. If these are the kind of movies you like, sans the bitching and moaning of an obnoxious teenager who someone needed to backhand*, then watch DONNIE DARKO instead. (*I don't condone violence)

I really enjoyed this film. I would describe it as a cross between Donnie Darko, Virgin Suicides, and Mulholland Drive. I thought about giving up on the film at a few points because it got a little too bizarre for my tastes, and I think that the dialog could have been a bit better (redeemed largely in the latter half of the film), but essentially I have never seen anything quite like it before. The young age of the main characters and protagonist throw an interesting twist on the traditional "metaphysical" film themes, although I suppose Donnie Darko used this same idea. I would have liked to get to know the protagonist a little bit better -- her character seemed a bit off the walls for me, and how she came to instigate this experiment (what motivated her to be self-actualized in this way) did not seem all that believable or credible because the audience never gets to know her character very well until the end of the film. All in all, this film takes you on an interesting experience. I really enjoyed the filming techniques and the soundtrack is amazing. I recommend this film for anyone who can handle "bizarre" films more firmly based around a concept than a plot.

This film is such an incredible work. So beautifully shot and wodnerfully acted by this cast of mostly unknowns. If you liked Donnie Darko, David Lynch films, or some of the great Italian masters like Antonioni and Fellini, you willt least be able to apreciate this rare kind of American independent film. Oh, and I love the music. Lavender Diamond, Joan Jet and others. Awesome!

a bit abstract at first and dull and boring but it gains interest and pace as you watch, a very good thought and idea behind it of not treating this world badly and wonder at all the little things but some weird ideas in there also. overall a good movie and shot very well

This movie isn't for fans of the bizarre, but for fans of the nonsensical. I liked Donnie Darko, some Lynch (Twin Peaks), as well as Felleni and this in no way compares to any of the aforementioned. Don't waste your time or money...simply terrible!

Wow! What a great movie, I had to watch it twice. Then I tracked down some of the music and bought it. Lavender Diamond is one of the bands featured and as original and fresh as this flick. Enjoy!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I rented this film ... but I certainly didn't expect what I got. This film is incredibly slow moving so much so that it borders on being boring. The photography is horrible. The story line is a secret wrapped in a mystery cloaked in an enigma. The one redeeming aspect of the film is the music which is great.

Others have compared this film to some of David Lynch's work but I just don't see it. Lynch's films were at least understandable on some level. This one isn't.

Hello producer,

Next time you get the idea to make a movie, have a story. You know, a plot, a point, something that helps the audience. This is a tree that falls in the forest with no one there to hear it.
