'When The Starlight Ends' DVD Review

Jacob (Sam Heughan) and Cassandra (Arabella Oz) have been together for five years, seven months and eleven days. Unfortunately they are now breaking up and this is the beginning of our love story. Cassandra had given everything for Jacob and their relationship. She worked harder so he could quit his job and write full time. After some time Jacob was doing well as a successful writer but it wasn’t what she wanted. She didn’t want the successful Jacob. She wanted the struggling man and when he had achieved his goals she lost interest.

Jacob was never an interesting kind of guy. He would always speak in philosophical terms when conversing with the love of his life. Jacob begins to fantasize about different scenarios that Cassandra would be in. She would play different roles in these fantasies. He would have her playing the neighbors wife as they made love. Jacob would role play as if he was seeing a movie star and having dinner with her but it was still Cassandra.

This fantasy role playing would go on for some time. Jacob just couldn’t figure out what he had done to lose the love of his life. He could understand that it was over between he and Cassandra. She would be the one that he would forever love. Our love story comes off as a bit confusing. It is not one of the love building to say a crescendo but one in which we are given the love and wonder if it was ever real or just in Jacobs mind.

 

Cinedigm brings this wonderful tale of love gone sour to us on DVD on March 16th, 2018. The quality of the DVD is wonderful and the sights and sounds are exquisite. This is probably one of the most misunderstood love stories you will ever see but in the end it truly touches you in such a way that you fall in love with the movie. This is definitely a keeper for that personal library and you will want to watch it over and over.
