WILDsound Film Festival Reviews Reconnection

That is what WILDsound Film, Writing and Screenplay Festival (Toronto), writes in its ‘Reconnection’ review of December 2015:

Holds true in today’s world

  • ‘Reconnection’ has a lot of great things going for it. To put it simply, it’s the male version of “Eat Pray Love”, without the Italy pit stop. The film likes to show moments and setups almost in a documentary way, which is great <...> This is a pretty nicely done film with a lot of themes and moments that will hold true in today’s world no matter where you live.

— WILDsound Film Festival review, December 2015

Interestengly, the ‘Reconnection’ script was ready and the film went into a pre-production stage before ‘Eat Pray Love’ hit the screens in August 2010. The work on ‘Reconnection’ went on for several years, the film has been completed in the April of 2015.
