Finding Ophelia

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.

This is one of the best artistic films I have ever watched.

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.

Dreamy, hallucinatory film perfect for the after 10 pm experience. I watched it on Tubi, but I would recommend finding a place to watch it without commercials so you can get into the mood.

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.
