Lost Cos

Part comic strip, part superhero urban adventure, this film brings the viewer into the underbelly of the NYC Cosplay world.

The film has an ultra independent feel. The acting is superb and the animation sequences by Adriano Moraes create a feeling of being deep within the story. Lost Cos is Helmed by the ultra talented and highly seductive Evgeniya Radilova. Excellent performances are on display by an ensemble cast, including Tony Naumovski and many other bright lights. The costumes, designed by Patrick Saint Jean have a gritty, real world feel. Although the film delves into fantasy, it always comes across as authentic. It's wild and definitely worth the ride.

Very enjoyable unique film! Extremely hard to find a movie like this. Interesting and different type of humor to come across. A beautifully directed and written movie that shows the underground cult like scene of cosplay. Creating a clear visual of how cosplayers think and visualize themselves. Very unique and rare to come across a movie that showcases this particular world. Finally a non corny and humorous movie. Im getting tired of all the same type of box office action movies. This is a great indie movie that represent both fun, humour and the darker side of the cosplay world. I can't wait for part 2!

I got to see LOST COS early and often in its festival run, and I liked it more each time. It's a genuine indie film and it shows - unevenness, plot holes and one great continuity gaff (in the versions I saw) - but a few terrific performances and some phenomenal cosplay verisimilitude make it more than worth seeking out.

Evgeniya Radilova has created a dark superheroine of vengeance you want to root for. (I wouldn't mind a series about Vampireniya.) First-time film director De Le Vita keeps things moving with some great (darkly) comic moments, especially one subplot featuring Tony Naumovski, a marvelous East European actor.

And the inclusion of comic art by Adriano Moraes brilliantly illuminates the world of LOST COS.

LOST COS is a must movie. No need to think too deep, just enjoy. This movie does have a deeper sense, but it tries hard to hide it. Packed with action, great costumes we dive into the world of COSPLAY.

The point of this movie is that life, just like this movie, is chaos and you might as well enjoy it, while you are living it.

Whether it invites one to become Cosplayer? I doubt it. But it sure shows that cosplayers are real people of flesh and blood with lots of emotions...or are they?

We never really find out. That is the beauty of it.

The makers certainly knew what they were doing when producing this movie. Somehow it remotely makes you think of a Tarentino-movie, but then different....

any way, enjoy!

That was, without a doubt, one of the best films I've ever had the pleasure of watching. From the opening scene to the final frame, it delivered a cinematic experience that was both emotionally powerful and visually breathtaking. The storytelling was rich and layered, keeping me fully engaged throughout. Each performance felt authentic and deeply human, with the cast bringing a raw intensity that elevated every moment. The direction was confident and purposeful, with every shot crafted to serve the narrative in a meaningful way. The soundtrack perfectly complemented the tone, subtly enhancing the emotional arcs without ever feeling intrusive. This was more than just a movie-it was an experience that left a lasting impression. It felt timely, necessary, and long overdue. A film like this reminds us why cinema matters: to inspire, to challenge, and to connect. Truly unforgettable.
