Day of a Lion

Not an easy film to watch as it deals with complex, layered themes, with a story about two sisters, told in multiple languages, with a lot of allegory. However, I found it was worth sticking with it. The dramatic conflict really comes to life when a third character (the boyfriend of one sister) shows up. The ending pays off and the Foscht twins have demonstrated a distinctive voice in storytelling, which is refreshing to see in this debut feature.

Day of a Lion is an outstanding indie film that had me hooked from the very first moment until the end. The story of the two sisters is not only thrilling but also deeply touching and full of emotion. The atmosphere is built with incredible care, every scene feels meaningful and pulls you further into the narrative. The performances of the actresses are absolutely convincing and give the film a unique intensity. If you are into independent cinema, this film is not just worth watching...it's a must! For me, it's a true highlight and a shining example of how powerful indie films can be.

Day of A Lion shows how important is to have the indie film as an existing form of art.

With thousands of artists out there trying to tell their stories, big budget films should not be the only way to that. And this film proves that it is not. Not only that, living in the generation where AI and manufactured films have taken over, having fresh, creative, original and PERSONAL voices is incredibly important.

This film might not have the high budget sound editing or the historial accuracy design, but none of those take us out from the experience that is seeing this story unfold and HOW it's being told.

Day of a Lion is a true indie gem that relights my passion for the indie community and proving that you can make an amazing film that looks way more expensive that it actually is.

Huge props to Bianca and Dilara, to the producers and to every single person in the crew.

"A masterclass in restraint and human storytelling, this independent film turns the confines of a single house, one day, and three actors into a stage for universal emotion. The four languages spoken throughout don't separate the characters-they enrich the tension, intimacy, and vulnerability, weaving together a drama that feels both deeply personal and profoundly global. It's a rare work that proves how much cinema can achieve with so little, leaving behind an echo that lingers long after the final frame."

A fantastic independent film using a single location to show two sisters trapped by the very home they so bitterly wish to take from the other. Great filmmaking for a couple of talented young filmmakers who used creativity and technique rather than flashy gimmicks to build suspense, and keep you engaged all the way through the end. A film I'd highly recommend a viewing of.
