Balsam is marvelous throughout, precisely measured in portraying a state often teetering on abjection. Go to Full Review Alissa Wilkinson Vox 05/06/2020
4/5
South Mountain suggests that the moments that break us can also give us the space and excuse to grow and re-mold ourselves in new ways. There's joy in those broken spaces. Go to Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (LAist) 05/04/2020
[Talia Balsam] is just wonderful in this film... It's painful, deep, and moving. Go to Full Review Betsy Bozdech AWFJ.org 11/22/2021
Balsam gives a beautifully natural, realistic performance as Lila - she never feels anything less than wholly authentic. Go to Full Review Ron Wilkinson It's Just Movies 06/23/2020

Elizabeth D @RT13139223 11/03/2024 Super performance from Talia Balsam. Feels like you’re watching a play - you just feel super-close to the action and it is suspenseful without being in the thriller/horror genre. See more 06/02/2021 This movie is currently available on Amazon Prime. I hit the jackpot with this one. If you like indie, ensemble and beautifully crafted storytelling this is a great choice. Talia Balsam and Scott Cohen deliver nuanced and realistic performances of a marriage coming apart. Set over a summer it takes us on a trip that stays with you long after the leaves have been raked and the bbq put away. This deserved the recognition it received at SXSW and other film festivals.
