The Girl with the Fork

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.

An intriguing story by Ignacio, exploring people's lives and blending them into a suspenseful cocktail, which the film effectively builds upon. While the pace could pick up in some scenes to enhance the sense of progression, it's a solid choice for fans of suspenseful indie dramas. The soundtrack is impressive-though occasionally overused-but lands well when it counts. There's some terrific lighting and a surprising use of color that adds to the visual appeal.

On the technical side, the sound could have been polished a bit more, but those minor indie-film quirks are easily overlooked, as they don't detract from the experience.

Terrific imagery by Matthew J. Hicks, accompanied by great music from Fernando Gimeno.

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.

The film really nails the suspense, with a plot that slowly unravels each character's secrets. But it can drag a bit and gets a little too convoluted in spots. Even so, it's a solid pick for anyone into indie feeling suspenseful dramas. The soundtrack is a highlight that totally amp up the tension and match the film's quirky feel.

There's a couple really lynchesque on steroids tracks in there. The cast does a great job, bringing the characters to life as the plot takes its twists and turns. Pacing can be challenging, especially the camera work that often chooses to stay put and linger for ages on a framing, but overall, I think it's a really solid effort.

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.
