“Hold Fast, Good Luck” (** out of four) was an oppressive soaper about two Generation X’ers (Olivia Hamilton, Antonimar Murphy) who form a relationship that crosses cultural/ethnic/personal boundaries while they try to assess all of this and determine the next step for their own lives and for each other. Writer/director Denny Wong shows his obvious influences here to Woody Allen and Nick Cassavettes and puts in a game effort but neither the characters nor the script are worth our sustained time of an hour-and-a-half; after a while it all seems fake and pre-fabricated which prevent one from getting involved and invested.
