Review of Elena Undone (2010) by Roxanne R — 24 May 2011

Bravo, fantastic!! Once more writer/director Nicole Conn scores a WINNER! What a pleasure to watch from beginning to end! Fate brings two diversely different women together, and sets them on a collision course that will shatter their preconceived notions about love, life and the power of one's soul.

The film starts with Tyler (Sam Harris) a filmmaker turned self-styled love guru who, over the course of the film shares his many theories, chiefly being that everyone has their "twin flame" â" a soulmate; He defines the process of these two souls meeting as soulemmetry.

The lovers in question are Elena (played by Necar Zadegan), a shy pastor's wife, who stays at husband Barry's (played by Gary Weeks) side out of duty, and Peyton (an impressive Traci Dinwiddie), a successful writer, grieving after the death of her mother and trying to get her life back on track after a bad break-up.

Her life begins to change and she gradually breaks out of her tight confines. Over time, the two women grow closer and embark on an affair, unable to deny their feelings any longer. Very good acting, a lovely romance, and overal good storyline with a surprising ending makes this an enjoyable, pleasant, relaxing film to watch, to ponder, to enjoy.

After Desert Hearts, this one is my second favorite! Available on instant download from Netflix but I will buy it; its that good! Highly recommended!!
