Summary: As anyone who’s ever been in love can tell you, it’s a slippery slope from “We’re head over heels in love!” to “We’re fine.” Peter and Vandy takes us through the relationship of a young New York couple – just not in chronological order. Most movie romances end when the relationship is beginning. Peter and Vandy’s love story goes muchAs anyone who’s ever been in love can tell you, it’s a slippery slope from “We’re head over heels in love!” to “We’re fine.” Peter and Vandy takes us through the relationship of a young New York couple – just not in chronological order. Most movie romances end when the relationship is beginning. Peter and Vandy’s love story goes much further than that. The story shifts back and forth in time, whipping between their romantic beginnings and the inevitable struggles that follow. Peter and Vandy is a unique take on the exhilaration and frustrations love can bring – a love story in disorder. (Strand Releasing)… Expand

Critic Reviews

Lisa Schwarzbaum

More naturalistic -- and as a result, more believable. Read full review

Stephen Farber

The greatest romantic movie to jumble its time structure, Stanley Donen's "Two for the Road," is a touchstone that DiPietro must have had in mind. While this low-budget indie doesn't have the gloss or the depth of that romantic classic, the highest compliment I can pay Peter and Vandy is that it belongs in the same company. Read full review

Sam Adams

The movie’s saving grace is Weixler, who manages to seem effortlessly natural without resorting to whiny faux naturalism. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

You know a low-budget indie has problems when it's less emotionally honest than a studio-backed project like "(500) Days." Read full review

Glenn Whipp

Peter and Vandy has the decided disadvantage of arriving a couple of months after the similarly structured "(500) Days of Summer," a movie sporting a sunnier sheen, more appealing cast and an actual reason to care about the outcome. Read full review

Todd McCarthy

An aggravating romance that runs only 78 minutes but ends not a moment too soon. Read full review

Karina Longworth

Peter and Vandy is crippled by DiPietro’s interest in repetition. Activities that were cute and fun at the beginning, we see, ultimately become tedious. The novelty of the film’s gimmick follows suit. Read full review

A relationship viewed from the past and present!

Not easy to understand in just one watch. But still it does justice for watching it once. Too random sequences of present and past, though the point was proven. It's nothing, but a simple romance drama. Most close to the real worldA relationship viewed from the past and present!

Not easy to understand in just one watch. But still it does justice for watching it once. Too random sequences of present and past, though the point was proven. It's nothing, but a simple romance drama. Most close to the real world relationship. You would still feel the cinematic effect, yet if you encounter a scene that happened in your life and around you, that won't be a surprise. Because a relationship has to go through such phases.

I felt like the dialogues should have been much better, because I can't point out it was whether editing issue or the dialogues. At the end, I realised it was the character Peter, designed in that way. Yep, he seems an average, particularly his skills against women, are poor. So I felt bad for Vandy to get trapped with such person. But love can strike anywhere to/with anyone, right! This is a decent film if you like to take a chance, because it is not your regular romance-drama.

This is the worst 20 minutes of a movie I couldn't bear to finish. The dialog and chemistry is as cold, stilted and empty as the sundrenched loft (strange contradiction) where much of the action takes place. This is a wannabe alternative to the romcom genre it seeks to challenge. I had toThis is the worst 20 minutes of a movie I couldn't bear to finish.
