The Girl with the Fork

Ignacio Maiso stylish psychological thriller where David Lynch meets Luis Buñuel.

Maiso through his filmic language, uses the screen as a canvas to paint tense situations and tell an intriguing story.

An excellent cast, the actors convey much with minimal dialogue, they live and move in a stage like dimension, sculptured by contrasting colors and alternating light and shadow, they navigate the depth and breath of the story with elegance and skill.

The music score effectively underlines emotions, sets the tone and supports the actor's performance.

An interesting and yet enjoyable film to watch.

An intriguing, convoluted, deep, emotional and mysterious story. Really nice individual and sensitive performances particularly from Rebecca Calienda, Dylan Baldwin and Paul Dewdney, delightful lighting and cinematography by Matthew Hicks, and superb script writing and direction from Ignasio Maiso. If you don't want your thriller/drama stories spoon-fed then this is definitely one for you, it'll have you thinking for days afterwards! All in all, an excellent film, very stylish and thought provoking; I first watched it on the film festival circuit, I'm delighted that I discovered this low-budget movie gem.

An Impressive slow burn indie drama thriller with a real sense of style. Keeps you guessing. Keeps you thinking.

The story intertwines between married couple Anna and Mike played by Rebecca Calienda and Dylan Baldwin and father and daughter Paul and Celia played by Paul Dewdney and Francesca Hayman.

They are all interlinked by this mysterious group contacting them in various ways and pulling the strings and, well, a fork...

If you're after some kind of fast paced hollywood flick that spoon feeds you the plot then this probably won't be for you but if you're in the mood for something a little different and you have an attention span of more then a few minutes it's well worth a look.

Some great measured and thoughtful performances from the actors, an intriguing story and a brilliant score.

Compelling throughout and I'm still sitting here mulling over it all.

Thrilling and suspenseful throughout with brilliant shots, sublimely lit, and the sound and score by Fernando Gemeno was perfect.

Lovely profile shot of Dylan Baldwin was reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock's entrance to The Funeral March of the Marionnettes from his television series.

Brilliant and imaginative 'off the wall' writing from Ignacio Maiso and yet again, Rebecca Calienda captivates with her truly great acting.

Can't wait for the next picture from Tractorni Productions.

Certainly worthy of another screening - gonna do that now.

This is a wonderfully intriguing, thought provoking suspense from Ignacio Maiso that has all the brilliant hallmarks that define his directorial and writing talents. I've worked with him before starring in Prowler. His intentional use of light, shadow, stillness, metaphor and music along with rhythm and texture create the intensity in this feature that perfectly rides on the waves of his unmistakablely creative storyline. It breathes carrying the viewer to unknown outcomes until they are discovered. Then it comes together like act 4 of a dramatic opera. Much applause for this strong cast too. Well done!
