Other Info:

A low-budget independent production, One Day Like Rain melds elements of teen drama, doomsday science fiction and Californian mysticism into a cryptic, David Lynch-influenced tale. An enigmatic affair, very much of it left wide-open to further audience interpretation, One Day Like Rain is an acknowledge attempt by writer-director Paul Todisco to do something very different from the mainstream. His argument is that if micro-budget filmmaking is to attract attention then it needs to offer a separate, alternative viewing experience to that which can be gleaned from standard studio offerings.

The story he offers up in service of this aim is about Gina (Samantha Figura) who, in the words of Todisco, “has this intuition. She has just figured out a way to save the world – but we [the audience] don't really know what that means – but to her saving the world means to end human suffering, to end violence and to somehow elevate consciousness so those things are no longer possible.” As Gina works to save Earth from apparently fast-looming doom, sceptical best friend Jennifer (Marina Resa) finds herself sucked into the whole imbroglio. Also featured amongst the primarily youthful cast is Zombieland star Jesse Eisenberg.

too slow/no action,just talk-one of those films that you fast forward just to get to the end of.VERY DISSAPOINTING.

I usually really like independent films. This one however has very few redeeming qualities, if any. The entire dialog of this movie is like like the exercise in acting class where you just say whatever pops into your head without editing yourself, or being concerned if it relates to what anyone else is saying. Very boring from start to the finish. Spoiler alert: there is not enough of a plot to ruin by telling you that absolutely nothing happens at the end. There are many fine movies on here, don't waste 86 minutes of your life on this one.

egta's Review of One Day Like Rain:
this movie worth seeing
I enjoyed watching this film. To me it was more about asking questions than giving answers, while also wrestling with ways of being in the world: rational or unconscious and experiencing. It has a relaxed pace that I liked.

One Day Like Rain is a pretty wicked movie that you and your friends, and your mum, and your mum’s cousin’s pet badger would all enjoy. One Day Like Rain has actors with mad skills, a cracking story and a fab director. In order to make sure you find the film One Day Like Rain amid all the flotsam, jetsam and cute kitten pictures online, this page advertising One Day Like Rain has to be searchable by bots. Yes! We live in the future and your robot slaves will seek out entertainment for you, including the frankly rather ace flick One Day Like Rain. Of course, bots ain’t too smart – they might miss One Day Like Rain, along with other great titles here on IndieMovies – which is why we have to keep shouting it out. Can you hear us bots? We will keep repeating One Day Like Rain, we will crowbar One Day Like Rain into every sentence, even when there is no apparent need for any further utilisation of One Day Like Rain. Because if we were to cut back on uses of One Day Like Rain, if we were to let our One Day Like Rain ratio dip, then the internet will take its ball and go home, and leave us shivering alone in the cold. Which is a pretty draconian penance for the simple want of us yelling One Day Like Rain on a more frequent basis. So please forgive us if we rather overuse One Day Like Rain, if there is glut of One Day Like Rain, there is barely room to move for all the deployments of One Day Like Rain, but we need to keep the One Day Like Rain flowing. One Day Like Rain, One Day Like Rain, One Day Like Rain!
