Between the Lights

This film was a highlight of London Breeze Film Festival last October. It is a wonderfully atmospheric haunted love story. The performances are excellent and really draw you in. Set across three Christmases, it plays with time in a creative way to keep you intrigued and invested.

I loved the settings - York and Keswick. There are great shots out on the moors, and the original soundtrack also adds to the atmosphere and stays with you for some time afterwards.

This is a perfect Christmas film - a ghost story that can be rewatched annually to get you in that Christmas mood.

Highly recommended.

Between the Lights has stuck with me unlike any film I've seen in a truly long time. It's like a feeling surrounding you that lingers and keeps you in its aura, thinking about it. Visually it is a spectacular, beautiful film. The music creates an entire otherworldly experience. The entire film stays with you, envelops you in its magic. I was lucky enough to see the movie around the holidays and months later I am still thinking about it.

It was more than a film-more of a thought provoking transcendent experience that you find yourself turning over and feeling. I would love to study this film, and if I taught I would absolutely assign it. It lends itself to extremely thoughtful and deep discussion and feeling.

Saw this at the Keswick film festival, and really enjoyed it. It is a spiritual love story, which kept me on edge. I enjoyed the Christmas setting and remembered the feeling of falling in love and all the excitement, power and opportunities that open up. I enjoyed the spiritual side, how it made me think of what might exist beyond what we can see, and how different levels of belief might play out in a couple.

The characters and events will stay with me for quite a while, and I will be recommending it to family and friends when it goes on general release.

It was a brilliant start to the festival.

I just saw this at the Richmond International Film Festival (RIFF) in Richmond, Virginia, United States. I'm a fan of supernatural love stories, and this one went beyond expectations. Beautifully nuanced performances, gorgeous photography, and a surprising deep delve into physical and metaphysical concepts, with a sweet Christmas presence. Once it's available, I will likely watch it every year. The lead actors were unknown to me, but both were magnetic and a pleasure to watch. A very good chemistry between them. The locations in York & Keswick had their own energy and presence as well. The towns and landscapes were shot beautifully without preciousness. Also worth mentioning is the shifting palettes and energies of the distinct time-frames. It's all a glorious puzzle, fun to watch and ponder.

I'd highly recommend this excellent, original and highly watchable film. The plot really draws you in and it's filmed in beautiful locations in the north of England. There are lovely shots of all the landscapes and the moving soundtrack really adds to the atmosphere. The chemistry between the two lead actors is really special. Although it's primarily a love story, there are also some really good laugh-out-loud comic moments! The film is set over three Christmases so it's perfect as a festive watch although it could equally also be enjoyed at any time of the year. This is definitely one to watch!
