Outlier

An exciting director to watch out for! Nate Strayer's first feature shows a deep understanding of storytelling. Circular arcs of some characters and matching shots where's character roles have been switched Nate's writing is impressive in the details of a motion picture. It is thrilling and delivers some chilling visuals. Even more impressive is the size of the crew... which was insanely small in pulling off a feat such as this. Watching the film you would never know.

The cinematography is quite stunning at times and the film really takes advantage of beautiful locations. Much like the director I see this cinematographer as something very exciting to watch out for as well!

This movie was painful to watch. The lead actress was atrocious. So many crying scenes and not a tear in sight. And as my title states, her facial expressions "run the gamut from A to B" as Dorothy Parker once wrote. The main actor was slightly better, although rather monotone in his delivery of lines. The movie tried to have a clever twist but by the time it arrived I was more interested in how close the movie was to finishing.

A woman puts up with an abusive SO until she breaks free with the help of a stranger at a gas station. He is helpful and understanding, enough that he lets her stay with him until she figures out her next move. This movie is only ok. There are many scenes of her running away, over and again. As realistic as that might be it's a tad tedious when presented tediously. Of course he isn't what he appears to be. The most intriguing thing about this flick is trying to figure out what is going on, but that only holds up if the explanation in the end is enough. In this story it kind of is enough, but the acting isn't.

I managed to finish the movie!

It is not like a movie movie , but it is like 4 members with a camera. Black magic, there is no story and active like school days.

A good samaritan takes in an abused woman after witnessing a public altercation and thrust her into a new situation.

The concept for this film is decent but the delivery is poorly executed by way of poor dialogue and unseasoned actors. However, there was some decent camera work and and I got the impression that this was a passion project for everyone involved in it's production.

This isn't going to be a film I watch again but as mentioned, the concept wasn't bad.
