Look to the Light

Wow, what a fantastic first venture in to independent film making from Chris Manoe, and everyone Agency 105. At a first glance, this seemingly basic storyline is one of love, loss, family ties and the true price of fame. The soundtrack offers support to the complex changes in the story and character development. The Cinematographer has clearly understood the assignment here, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for their next film. Bright stars in all categories. A shout out to Mark Moraghan who plays Martin, I felt he was the gel that held the family together. I had heard that he wasn't the first choice for the role and took the gig with only a week before filming! Incredible stuff. Thank you for creating something with substance that challenges the way we see ourselves.

Very thought provoking film. Story line portrays very current topic. With the idea of being famous high on our current generation of teens agenda. The film is a stark warning at the price of fame and how young people are not always equipped with the tools to deal with it emotionally.

Lilly Brunson was very convincing in her performance of a young person in a relationship, when fame is offered to her boyfriend she pays the price. Charlie Goddard, was also very convincing in his role.

Both are worthy of their roles and portray the films plot very well indeed.

A very well made independent film.

I didn't know what to expect when I started watching, but about ten minutes in, I was completely gripped. The film is beautifully written and directed, capturing my attention right from the start. The cast's performances were very good, nice to see some young new talent. Lily Blunsom-Washbrook's performance was exceptional she brought real depth and authenticity to her character. The story is filled with twists and turns, keeping me on the edge of my seat throughout its runtime.

I laughed, I cried, and I was thoroughly entertained from beginning to end. This film is definitely well worth watching. One of its strengths is how it touches on current topics, making it particularly relevant for younger audiences. These timely themes are seamlessly woven into the narrative, offering both insight and reflection.

However, what I enjoyed most was the exploration of family dynamics. The relationships portrayed are complex and realistic, resonating deeply with me. The film does an excellent job of portraying the intricacies of familial bonds, highlighting both the conflicts and the love that bind families together.

Overall, this film is a masterful blend of compelling storytelling, refreshing acting, and thoughtful direction. It's a must-see that will leave you thinking long after the credits roll. If you're looking for a movie that entertains while also offering meaningful commentary, this one should be at the top of your list.

This film takes you on a journey, the cinematography, writing, music and acting all come together to create what is a memorable and thought provoking film.

I feel the subject matter is not one that is touched on enough in movies, it looks at what goes on in the mind of someone who wants fast track fame through reality tv and the effect it has on his relationships. It's intriguing and interesting to see the reality behind reality tv.

The character development (which I know is a bit of a film buzz word) Is truly there. The characters really go on a journey and you are there gripped with them the entire time.

Some might think they see where this film is going but at the last minute I do believe it surprises you. This film is not predictable like most movies. It is an independent movie that competes way above its weight class.

Most certainly worth a watch.

Thought provoking film on interpersonal relationships, impacts of decisions and living with the consequences.

The start, slow at first, depicts the start of a spiral as a result of decisions.

Although the film speaks to a relationship between parties, it further challenges the impact of a family on this relationship - the meddling, the lack of understanding l, etc.

There are trigger warnings in this film - be aware prior to watching. However it is a well thought out and narrated film that had me glued to the screen, through the happy and the guy wrenching moments.

The review rating the film has received perhaps more accurately depicts persons whom did not make it past the initial slow start.
