    REVIEW OF COME WALK WITH ME

     OCT. 2025 - BVSREVIEWS.COM

    Come Walk With Me is a wonderful short romance film. The acting was terrific and the story made you really hope that Michael will be able to win Ellie's heart.

    In the film, Come Walk With Me, Ellen is set to marry Chase. She is at the church with her grandparents. They are waiting for the wedding planner to show up to go over some things.

    In the meantime, there is a young man who is driving his car. This young man is Michael, who has known Ellen since they were little kids.

    Michael shows up at the church. Ellen's grandmother, Margaret, tries to get him to leave. But he convinces Ellen, who he calls Ellie, to take a walk with him. Hence the title of the film.

    Does the film have a storybook ending? Or will Michael indeed go back to Chicago having his heart and soul crushed? I won't ruin the ending for you.

    Come Walk With Me was directed by James Carey. He has directed several films, including Love Potion, Madly and Divorce During Pandemic.

    There is a great blues song, Little Girl by Tom Shaka, in the film that goes along with Michael driving.

    REVIEW OF DIVORCE DURING PANDEMIC

     JAN 31, 2021 - UTAH FILM FESTIVAL

    No matter what situation the world is in, divorce is always a painful experience for any couple. Divorce During Pandemic is about a couple who exchanges documents for their divorce while the pandemic is still happening. The interaction is difficult as there are rules to follow to make sure that no one will get infected by the virus. But the pain of separating ways is more felt from the scenes of the film. There is a moment of heartbreak in the film up to the end. The acting is simply so effective and good. Music, editing and the photo effects are added elements that make the film more dramatic. The film is good and will give you a sigh towards the end.
