CGiii Comment

The true beauty of motherhood and unconditional love.

This will definitely get you thinking: what would I do?

Fitzgerald manages to present and sustain a truth that is both difficult to accept and almost impossible to present.

He manages this through his actors - who all keep themselves from falling off of a sentimental cliff - but. when the fall comes, it is slow, expected and still fatal.

An extraordinary experience - an event.

The(ir) Blurb...

An intense relationship drama that takes the form of a mystery, The Event centers around a series of unexplained deaths that occur among the gay community in New York's fashionable Chelsea district. Nick, a district attorney investigating the most recent case, a suspicious apparent suicide, and her interviews with friends and family of the deceased trigger extensive and intricately interwoven flashbacks that reveal surprising facts about the man's life and death.
