Parallax

This film had me thinking for days after. Really incredible and interesting cinematography and plot. You can tell there is so much passion, care, and detail devoted so every aspect of the movie.

There's a lot more than meets the eye behind this film. Upon taking a closer look you will see the efforts they went to in working with limited variates in sets. The main apartment itself was utilized in interesting ways to prevent it from feeling visually stale.

Also, the scene of Naomi drowning in water in her reoccurring dreams seemed like it could have easily been taken out of a multi million dollar feature.

Overall, this film is worth your time and attention.

At first, I wasn't really sure where the story was going. Shots and scenes felt jarring an disconnected. But it quickly becomes obvious that was by design. As the narrative picked up steam, I became fully immersed in the cinematic language the director and cinematographer had developed.

Naomi Prentice delivers an enthralling performance as our lead. It is an incredibly difficult challenge for an actor to keep an audience engaged with a seemingly emotionless character. And yet, there is an element to this performance that is deeply emotional.

If you want to watch something that will surprise you, definitely check this one out.

It took a while to see what was up to a degree, yet the why's were never fleshed out. It had a type of Matrix vibe with the mental conveyance to another timeline with different scenarios. And the copper coiled head dress and the magic mushroom concoction was unique and kind of hilarious.

I felt that the actors characterizations were good for what they were given. Somewhat cheesy dialog for various characters and it did bog down several times after I had gotten a finger on where this was going, so it did become tedious. And the ending felt rushed and a jumble mess that left me with a "Is that it?" No answer to the whys, as in the Matrix, it was to gain an advantage in the fight against the machines. I did not see a reason why was any of this necessary.

Too many unanswered questions with the added twist left me questioning, didn't the writers feel a need to give some background or validity factor to new participants in the story,

5 out of 10.

Alright look, I'm not a movie person by any means, but i actually I really enjoyed this film. It offers real and raw perspectives on mental health and human connection that you don't really get to see too often. I was fully prepared for the camerawork, coloring, sound, acting, etc to be messy since it's an indie film but WOW? It felt so immersive and professionally well-done for such a small project!

Im not gonna lie, it took a minute to get me hooked as the first act felt a bit slow to me, but I found myself coming up with so many questions as the film went on and to be completely honest, I probably need to watch it a few more times to get some/any of them answered, there's def a mystery to be solved here.

Parallax has all the elements that makes a film captivating. It has action, plot twists, science fictional happenings, great cinematography, a stunning performance by an ensemble cast! What's not to like?

It doesn't fail to bring on the chaos throughout Naomi Price's character's journey and every scene with her in it makes me wish we could have more of her mystery in my daily life. We are left in a state of wonder to decipher for ourselves what the director intended. When I see an actor in this industry that can transport me into the story and their rollercoaster of a ride, I see it as a success in storytelling.

As for the overview of what the story is like, think inception meets Mr. Robot meets a mental health crisis. Insane, intricate, eye capturing, we love it all 💕

A work of art and an amazing film to be watched!

Highly recommend if you want a thriller that keeps you on your toes!
