TAKING THE BAD WITH THE GOOD

Of course I was pleased when critic John Oak Dalton at Microcinema Scene gave Coming To My Senses a wonderful 4 star review. Most of what I've heard from audiences has been overwhelmingly positive. So I was surprised to read the latest review from Film Threat critic Greg Bellavia. He gave it only 1.5 stars, saying that "while ripe with possibilities, the director seems content to show his heroine on a much more banal journey. Coming To My Senses certainly looks great for being shot on DV, but Chad Richards may want to include a story in his next film." OUCH! It's amazing how two people can see things so differently. But that's part of the game. You don't win them all. And, while I disagree with Mr. Bellavia in most regards, I do appreciate him taking time to watch my film and share his thoughts.
