Look to the Light

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.

I just could not stop watching because in got intrigued by how the creators of this movie attempted again and again, in almost literally every scene, to invoke a sense of tension, drama and finger-pointing life-lessons by just piling up cliché characters with a shallow storyline, over-acting characters and - what I thought was most annoying of all - continuous dramatic music.

Even if there is not tension whatsoever in a scene, the music will built up, increase in tension to reach avclimax while the script/scene does not deliver any drama or tension. It's literally exhausting because the brain gets mixed signals all the time. By the second part of the movie, you will just start ignoring the music alltogether because it's so out-of-sync that it's not credible anymore. A bit like a child who always makes jokes about being hurt, and then when actually gets hurt nobody reactis anymore.

I always do try to watch these kinds of movies till the end because it usually makes me appreciate the next movie I watch so much more LOL.

Only watched it as I couldn't stop. For some reason (must have been bad in a previous life) I had to watch til the end. Secondary school/Am Dram acting, with no character depth. To think the writer/director actually believes anyone watching would be in anyway surprised when the painfully drawn out plot twist is revealed is hilarious. The biggest shock of all is how many crew members and the directors family have written reviews giving 9/10, believing readers will actually believe they're legit. Give your teenage kids an iPhone and they will make a better film; hell they probably already have..

This was a great film! I was struck by the quality of the cinematography and storytelling. "Look to the Light" is thought-provoking, humorous, and thoroughly enjoyable. By the end of the film, I was on the edge of my seat.

The story focuses on a young man, a wannabe influencer, whose life takes a dramatic turn when he is cast in the hit TV show "Love on The Rocks." Faced with the dilemma of staying with his faithful girlfriend Lauren or pursuing superficial fame, Eddie begins a roller coaster journey navigating the ups and downs of the life he has chosen.

The subject matter - love, fame, loss, mental health - is on trend and topical. The characters were realistic and engaging, with some real stand-out moments. It was fascinating to see how they developed over the course of the film.

This independent film punches well above its weight, delivering a compelling narrative that explores the darker side of reality TV fame and its impact on mental health. It masterfully weaves a tale that is both gripping and heartbreaking, making "Look to the Light" a must-see.

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.
