Lost Angels

On the part of the industry that, in many people's minds, is in the dark. I went to watch this film with my brothers and some friends and we were all very surprised at how great this movie is. You can see the struggle the two young artists are going through with their relationship to one another and with their passions. One gives up everything to get as far as they can while the other does their best to stay the person they are. It's a movie not only about struggle but also about love and how much something or someone could mean to the other person. I really enjoyed Doug Bennett's character 'Chick' who really brought in some well timed comic relief. I really enjoyed how passionate he was with helping out Oliver Piggott's character with his music. One of the highlights in the film was Stan Harrington and Amanda Dresler's scene at the top of the stairs where a lays down the "truth" about Hollywood.

I enjoyed this movie very much. Douglas Bennett is such a talented actor.

If you are just going by the music, this film is a ten. If you just go by the cinematography, this film is a ten. If you just go by the story, this film is a ten. Oliver Piggot comes to Los Angeles with nothing but a guitar and his beautiful and haunting voice. Guess what, it's enough. Harrington continues his indie assault on the Hollywood machine by making films that matter and in this case, it's a film about the trappings of fame, fortune, sex, music and of course love that is doomed. The film plays well as a cautionary tale and that's too bad because with brilliant performances from a seasoned cast and director, you'd hope for the Disney, fairy tale ending. Let's see if we get it. No spoilers here. Great piece of filmmaking.

Apart from what has already been said about the wonderful acting, touching music and great story that kept you engaged from start to finish, this film excelled in many other areas. This film had to rely on the artistic touch, the trust and belief with each other and the commitment by cast and crew to bring a special film to life. Not many people in the world of Independent film making can take such a limited budget and turn out a film that has a million dollar production value, and that is what this film 'Lost Angels' has been able to do. Writer & Director Stan Harrington has come into a new hight with his Independent film making with this interesting and honest look into the underbelly of LA and the entertainment industry. Its honesty and high production value keeps you glued to the screen from the first frame to the last. I can't wait to see more of Stan as people start to invest more money into his films. He is a Writer, Director to keep an eye out for. A great talent, and an Aussie!

I watched it on prime and felt the Joshua character was under developed. Female lead seemed to have gotten more attention as far as details and character development, kinda felt the movie was about her. Her perfornance was outstanding. However, as far as the soundtrack, it goes without saying that Oliver Piggott is a genius lyricist. I rewinded a few times just to watch him play. His music moves you, and his passion for his music oozes. It would be amazing if a movie was made about the life of Oliver Piggott, now THAT would be a story like no other, crazy unexpected twist and turns and far from the usual painfull climb to stardom. A story not only worth telling, but should be told. Here's to hoping.
