Strong and Moving!

Redundant and unnecessary.

A Masterpiece!

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I was astounded on how professional this movie was made with the budget it had. I wish Gavin the best of luck in the future. I really enjoyed the plot and dialogue, and hope to see more from him in the future. The dialogue sounded real, not forced. The scenes were laid out very well. The plot was easy to follow. The movie plot looked believable. It is amazing that the film was done by a college student with a lot of volunteers! Gavin, do yourself a favor. Get the Independent Film Channel (IFCTV.com) to air this. That should get the exposure you are looking for.

This movie is very good, and it has moments of brilliance. The best scene is the one on top of the building. The way the natural light and music and acting come together will stay with you for a while.There are two types of movies that I like to watch. They are either story driven movies or character-development driven movie. This one was an example of the latter. The characters were very well drawn and I felt like I knew them by the end of the movie.I highly recommend watching the movie with the director's commentaries turned on. He is extremely funny, in a humble, brilliant kind of way.

Loved this film. Quite unlike anything I've ever seen before.Absolutely worth checking out. A film about Religion made with such subtlety that I imagine most wouldn't even realize the true theme of the film..

I had an opportunity to see this film at the New York Digital Film Festival in November and I was completely blown away by it. Despite being made at a fraction of the cost of a Hollywood feature, this film stands absolutely toe to toe with any mainstream release. With no word of a lie, the cinematography is better than some Academy Award winning film's I've seen. The music, acting, and direction are all on pace with, if not better than the average Hollywood release. Janet Lane is beautiful and incredible as Rachel and if she doesn't become a superstar in the next month, I'll eat my shoes. I don't know how these filmmakers did it, but 15 minutes into the movie, I had forgotten the rest of the world existed. As Sam and Niki arrived in Montreal, it was like I was in the backseat, arriving with them..The story's a little tricky to summarize. Think of it as a cross between "After Hours" and "Eyes Wide Shut" with a little "Rebel Without a Cause" thrown in also... But I think the reason its so hard to explain is because these filmmakers are really walking on some original turf here. I think you'll know what I'm talking about when you see the scene on the roof... At the festival's Q+A session, writer/director/editor/star Gavin Heffernan nailed it when he said Expiration is a "an extremely complicated, simple story about childhood" You're gonna see this thing in theatres, and when that happens, PLEASE go check it out. Finally a movie that doesn't suck.
