From the opening scene, the film pulls you into its world with breathtaking visuals. The cinematography feels almost like a character itself, capturing the raw beauty of nature in ways that make you pause and reflect. Watching Chasing Light was extremely suspenseful for me lol I kept wondering what was going to happen next. What stood out to me the most was the connection between Max and his mother. One moment that stayed with me was when Max finally realized what was happening to him. The film's pacing was slower than your typical suspense, but I found it fitting. It gave me time to sit with the emotions and absorb the message about finding light even in life's darkest moments. If I had one critique, it's that I wish the ending had been just a bit more fleshed out. Without spoiling anything, it felt a little abrupt after such an emotional buildup. But even so, it left me with a sense of hope and a reminder to look for beauty in the everyday. Also it sort of gave me that maybe the director wanted the viewers to interpret the ending to their liking. If so, that was absolutely genius. Great job to the cast and crew seriously! I enjoy film where it's not so gimmicky and all in your face, but you feel the soul of it.

For anyone who loves movies that make you think, feel, and maybe even shed a tear, I highly recommend Chasing Light. It's not just a film; it's an experience.
