Convergence

Very good film, keeps you interested all through the film. i enjoyed it very much.

I can't recommend this high enough The quality of the writing and acting are much better than many current offerings from Hollywood See around Glasgow, there are lots of cutaway flashes to the wider Scottish scenery

You won't be disappointed with this

This is really a three hander with the lead characters providing a strong basis for the storyline. The main characters of Lily and Martin are well played by Nicolette McKeown and Jeremy Theobald and are well crafted and expertly played. Martin is underplayed somewhat as his character seems stuck in a single mood throughout the film, However, Lily shows a large number of emotions in her journey through the film. To this end McKeown does not miss a beat.

Unusually, you actually care about what happens to these characters from an early stage in the unfolding of the story. Special mention has to be made for the acting prowess of Lee Fanning as Lily's erstwhile 'boyfriend' - a more unlikable foil for Lily's character cannot be imagined. It is a fantastic performance and draws you into the abusive world Lily is being forced to live in in a remarkably believable performance.

Marcus MacLeod is suitably enigmatic as The Stratagist and the film is stronger for not revealing the role he plays in the lives of the main characters.

This is a film which can be slow in parts (but very few as the story carries you through) has a certain level of satisfaction int he story line and leaves enough unanswered to be able to sit and discuss the meaning of certain aspects of the plot. Never a bad thing.

Admittedly a low budget film but it very rarely looks it. I have seen films with huge budgets fail to get the realism this one does into the story, but that is a lot to do with the performances.

If you get the chance to see it, there are much worse ways to spend the time. Actually - just go see it.

And set in Glasgow which is fantastic, a personally knew Nicolette McKeown once, and it's been a pleasure to know her and watch her acting just getting better and better.

+1 Star for the lead actor's performance at least thru the first half of the movie, he's good, his intensity seems real.....over his loss

This girl he meets at the 'Bereavement Group', she's got some real issues, if she doesn't go to jail for what she does to her 'boyfriend', ashwipe he may be, but what she does you don't do and get away with.... coming back to that later.....

and of course she runs off to Mr. Bereaved, which is fine.....

oh my, then there's quite a revelation!!!!!!!

+1 Star for the completely logical actions the lead takes in light of finding new information.......

At the end we get a final confrontation, and the girl apparently finishes the job on her 'ex boyfriend' .... I think this is the major flaw in the story, that part of the story could have been left out completely and it still would have worked. You don't get to get away with murder, which is what it was on her part. Really the most EVIL part of the story was HER. My opinion of course but I think that's a major flaw.

The ending could have had a +1 Star but instead for that flaw it gets a -1 ending this one with a.....

6/10
