9 Full Moons2013
A powerful, brooding love story about the seemingly implausible relationship of two radically different personalities somehow always meant for each other, set against the hipster music scene of East Los Angeles. Frankie is an emotional train wreck, careening around the local music establishments, drinking and meeting strangers. Lev is a taciturn and tormented soul. He drives a limo and wants to work in the music business. They begin a relationship after they connect with each other one night at a party. This dark romance explores what love is like for two quiet people who may be damaged beyond repair. Lev gets to explore his musical dreams working for star Charlie King Nash and learn about the practical realities that restrain talent to make artistic dreams so complicated and frustrating. Together Frankie and Lev explore the challenges of a serious relationship, trying to determine if it's something either of them can handle. This moody piece goes beyond romantic movie cliches to explore the intricate interactions of two lovers who don't fit into any neat categorizations.

Film starts well and actors are quite good but the movie drags and I gave up

I salute the acting. The two leads were great. Donal Loque too. I'm not sure of the budget, but I think they made the best of very little. I'm really glad to see people making films like this. Some may call the overall vibe quite depressing and hopeless, but if you can stand to watch this kind of situation on the screen without the distraction of whistles and bells, this movie is a worthy view.

i started out really liking this both Frankie & Lev are great_got thrown off by the crappy country western singer_and all the tedium that brought_i kept at it but got totally bored with it and i didn't bother to watch the end
The story was portrayed with much sensitivity by the actors, writer and director and probably most everyone involved. This movie will stay with me
