Wes (Dustin Fasching) and Fi (Sarah Lassez) are artist, One a photographer the other a writer. They have lost their muse and feel stuck, but they support each other in their troubles. But something strange is happening to Fi, something "otherworldly" that might destroy what they have.
This movie was pretty good, the story was completely told in Wes and Fi's apartment, and some extra stuff was in a fictional house where Fi's story takes place. Cinematography was pretty good, taking moments to experiment with it which have it's hit's and misses, but with every strange looking scene there is a fantastic looking one.
The acting of both Dustin Fasching and Sarah Lassez was very good as well as their singing, which is important because they are the only actors in the whole movie. They are both very likable and you want them to do well and solve their dilemma.
The story is interesting, mostly cause it takes different directions every time something occurs. It is a musical drama, with a supernatural flavor. The drama is touching and it develops very well. The dark moments are also pretty cool and can be suspenseful, maybe not all the time, but they work well to set the mood.
the only real issues are the dialog, and the placement of songs. The script works well, but there are moments in which the dialog sounds too cheesy, blatant or just sounds unnatural (some of those lines appear in the trailer). and the song placement can sometimes feel a little out of nowhere, this doesn't happen all the time, because sometimes they feel fine. But i feel the timing of them is a bit off.
And it needed like 1 or 2 more songs because nearing the end it kind of forgets it's a musical and does like a normal supernatural drama, and that was a mistake. If you're gonna be a musical, don't let there be no music for too long, it's got to be consistent the whole way through.
But aside from that i liked all the songs, they were catchy, and helped develop both the story and the characters almost perfectly. And while there are not a lot of BIG moments they did incredibly well with what they had and i'd recommend it if you like musicals or creative ideas put into a film regardless if it works perfectly or not.
It might be a little odd but you should give it a shot at least, i don't think you'll loose anything from doing so you might find more than you though.
