In this slyly humorous family drama about what we inherit (and don't inherit) from our parents, Grace (Lauren Lee Smith) has not spoken to her recently deceased father, a fabled filmmaker, in years. She surprises her confidant (Jennifer Beals) and herself when, on a trip to pick up some of his belongings, she offers to help put together a retrospective of his work and finds herself influenced in strange and significant ways.

"CINEMANOVELS IS A HEARTFELT HOMAGE TO MOVIE MELODRAMAS"
- LOS ANGELES TIMES
"SEDUCTIVE. TERRY MILES' CINEMANOVELS MANAGES TO CAST AN ALLURING SPELL. MILES HAS A KNACK FOR CLAUSTROPHOBIC EROTICISM. SMITH. FLOODS HER ALOOF, OFTEN SELFISH CHARACTER WITH VULNERABILITY AND CRACK COMIC TIMING. YOU NEVER TIRE OF HER."
- LA WEEKLY
"SMITH NAVIGATES THE EMOTIONAL TERRAIN WITH GREAT SKILL. THE SCRIPT IS OFTEN FUNNY."
- CHICAGO TRIBUNE
" LAUREN LEE SMITH IS SENSATIONAL IN THE LEAD ROLE... DYNAMIC AND FULLY BELIEVABLE CHARACTERS... A UNIQUE AUTHENTIC ENERGY"
- CINEMABLOGRAPHER
" RECOMMENDED. THE SURPRISE IN THIS FEATURE IS TOUCHING, AND MEANINGFUL, AND TOTALLY SATISFYING"
