It was refreshing

Great idea and the main character, Ryan, is engaging. I like that it allowed itself to have non linear storytelling, it was creative and watchable. Appreciate that it's not another predictable Hollywood movie. It could use fine tuning, better acting in some characters. Emily wasn't believable as the bombshell, but I very much appreciated that many of the characters look like real people. It had creative ideas and plot twists and a lot of heart. Really enjoyed it.

Intriguing Film

Saw this at the Kashish Mumbai Queer Film Festival 2013 and quite enjoyed it. The movie has an element of suspense to it because it takes you a while to figure out where it's going and what's going on. It offers up three alternative realities in the life of a young lesbian, which is something that takes a while to sink in. At first you might think they were one reality and she's actually having parallel relationships with a range of people. My god, you think, this girl is really promiscuous (especially for a lesbian). Then it dawns that she's not have three affairs (or four, if you include a guy who she gets pregnant by), but these are alternative lives, depending on which college she picks as a 17 year old. Whew ! What a concept.

An engaging and well made film

This film tells the story of a young lesbian named Ryan, who has to decide which three college offers to accept. The story then branches out to three different alternate universes, with Ryan leading different lives. The plot is engaging and well told. The three alternate universes have all got interesting plots, and it does provoke viewers to think that each little life choice we make can have profound effects on the future.

For an independent film, "Route of Acceptance" has high production quality. From camera work, sets, lighting and costumes they consistently look very good. I hope "Route of Acceptance" will reach a wider audience, enabling more people to appreciate it.
