Sister Tempest

It was crazy, but I loved it! Hope more movies like this start getting made. Wasn't predictable, there wasn't a stale formula to it. Whole thing felt fresh and different. Some performances might have been considered poor in other movies, but here it worked.

This was a brain-melting psychotic film. And I loved every scene. It's the type of movie that makes me mad because I wish I made it. Fantastic editing. The actors were quirky, just like the rest of the film. Everything that SHOULD be a flaw works so wonderfully with the movie's tone and style. This isn't a movie, this is a film. This is art. That said, it's a very strange and outlandish film. Within 1 minute, you know what you're getting into. And to me, that's perfect. Writer/director Joe Badon has not only crafted a masterpiece, but a new kind of masterpiece.

I saw this film yesterday and had to sit and let it marinate in my mind for a bit before I said too much too soon. Then went back and rewatched it to make sure I meant what I wanted to say. This movie is absolutely beautiful, in the strangest of ways. As the other review stated, it's a brain-melting film. But it's perfect. There's no such thing as a "perfect" film. But it's perfect TO ME. From the atmosphere, to the set locations, to the direction, cinematography, the editing (good lord, the editing in this film), it's everything I wanted and more when I saw the trailer. First few minutes make you think it'll be an anthology film, which at first I was like "ah, ok, well I guess that lends itself to do some cool stuff without being tied down by a narrative" but then the movie kept going, and I realized "no, everything has meaning and purpose. Nothing here was accidental." And by the end, I was truly wowed, moved, and mesmerized. This is a film that I want to STUDY. When this thing comes out on dvd and blu-ray, I hope it comes with a directors commentary to explain everything in great detail. From set designs, to deeper meanings, Easter eggs, everything. This is the type of film that makes me want to make films. 2020 has been a slow year for films (for obvious reasons), but this one made it worth it. Joe Badon is showing the big Hollywood directors how it's done.

I have nothing bad to say about the movie and it is sure to be a cult classic. I hope so, anyway. In an oversaturated film market, I can imagine it would be difficult to get your work seen, but honestly this is such a weird movie that I think it'll stand out enough to be seen. Hope to see more from Mr Badon.

No fluff, just art. Everyone did great. Lots of good work put in for such a small budget. I was highly impressed. Great job, everyone.
