Finding Ophelia

Stunning photography together with a perfect soundtrack underscore this wonderfully directed and conceived film, played with great passion by its lead, mesmerizing and engrossing. Festival accolades well-deserved. A work of art not to be missed.

I had an absolutely wonderful time watching this film. The concepts are inventive, humorous and dark, yet never cross the line with becoming too morbid or negative... instead there's a playfulness to it that keeps you humored, intrigued, and wanting more.

Visually and musically it's a real treat as well. The sounds, the colors, the cinematography... the world and atmosphere this film evokes is our own, but a bit off, and I mean that in a good way!

This is the first feature film from Stephen Rutterford, but I certainly hope it won't be his last. I'm quite impressed with what he was able to accomplish on his own and it's clear he has a lot of potential to expand on his work, visually and conceptually. I look forward to whatever strange paths he has in store for us next.

If you're a die-hard fan of conventional movies (three-act structure, etc.) then this might not be the movie for you. But if you gravitate to the unexpected, to the unusual, to the lyrical, this film will not disappoint. It's a work of major vision and more than stacks up sonically thanks to an incredible score and brilliant sound design. Enjoy some edibles and strap in for a strange and strangely funny ride while indulging in free-flowing visuals and a sumptuous soundtrack!

A well written and produced film. Enjoyed the lead actors and the interesting story!

A first from Stephen Rutherford and a beyond impressive feat at that.

A compellingly weaved "love" story, that one could argue is atmospherically an advertising man's "Green Knight".

Wildly wonderful and non-conventional that is shot with a splendid eye for craft.

High praise. Looking forward to seeing more from Master Rutterford.
