watch Need Feedback on new feature film - first scenes in

Hi Everyone...

So I'm working on a new feature. We're shooting guerilla style on my friend's Red Epic. Very fast and very low key.

I have two questions -

1. Do you think the card tricks in the opening monologue are distracting or do they work?
2. Does the actress deliver? I've heard mixed reviews on her. Some think she's weak others like her. I can't decide myself. Everyone seems to be pretty good with the lead and the baby but the girl is in question:

Thanks for your help!

The opening scene is funny lol. It was believable and well-written

And the girl was good too. She's supposed to be whiney i'm guessing. It worked for me
