i liked the alternate ending..and i wish it could be true…a nicely acted characters made it a real touchy story..i saw it several time minutely repeating each of its scenes..a perfect one. the director has a great sense of judgment power and hence the result is the ‘Loving Annabelle’. after the world unseen by shamim sarif this appears to be a great watch…and yes this movie is a great support to the statement that ‘LOVE can happen to any one with any one’ what matters is the intensity for love…i just loved Simone Bradley perfections….she is awesome with the title girl…Erin Kelly…much they have talked about but everything was in their eyes..the attraction.passion and madness they created is just mind blowing.i think the director can go with the next part of the same movie as it leaves clues with it and do believe again it will click.
