Saw this at the Broadway Cinema in Letchworth, and was left feeling unsettled and curious. It was like no film I'd ever seen before, and the cinematography, editing etc was incredible. Very talented cast too.

I found this film incredibly intriguing. It keeps you guessing and is a fascinating blend of the isolating confusion experienced with mental health trauma and of something much deeper and greater than ourselves. The feeling of being trapped and frustrated alongside the intense need to seek a profound and deeper truth is felt with Eve which is a testament to the acting and to the writing of Lightships.

I watched on recommendation of a friend and I wasn't disappointed one bit, it left me captivated and was mentally stimulating unlike other films on the market. It was very brilliantly made and the overall concept was unlike any I'd encountered but I'd throughly recommend this film to anyone on any occasion.

A thoroughly enjoyable movie that veers into the fracturing of the mind and the quite sublime and unsettling places that this can lead.
There is a mysterious thread that flows through the scenes of the movie with inner dialogue that reaches poetic beauty in the midst of terrible anguish and despair.
As we follow the journey of the protagonist we are held gripped by the true origins of this revered journal held fast to the theme that love and connection is the key to salvation.
A grand tale of awakening that demands multiviewing!!

When fortune favors us, we have the opportunity to consider if there is more to our lives than what we think we know. What exists in the realm of possibilities? Will we open that door? This movie asks and answers these questions.
Lightships is an excellent adaptation of Maryann Rada's book, Remembrance. The screenplay and performances are compelling, and I forgot I was watching a movie. I was in the story - and the ending - well, it went right to my heart.

Maryann Rada's "Remembrance" (and in fact, her entire body of work) feels like a living, breathing entity that continues to provide insight & perpetual relevance regardless of context and time.
The film provides a darker perspective on the underlying message of Maryann's book, but is equally as thought provoking and, if one allows, can open the viewer up to the same intriguing and mind expanding concepts.
Every time I read Maryann's words they take on new meanings and provide almost eerily accurate advice and relevant wisdom for the time. Lightships has the same ability to engage the viewer with intrigue and encourages a deeper dive into the complexities of the human condition.
Whilst this film is especially suited to those who enjoy complex themes, it also has the ability to connect with anyone thanks to it's small but diverse crew of relatable characters and captivating ideas. I encourage everyone to watch the film, and read the books for a unique and incredibly profound experience.

The search for the meaning of life and existence in a reality of oblivion and the imprisonment of our daily lives is portrayed in this enigmatic piece of art. The acting is amazing!! One can only wonder where we came from and in which way have we forgotten the fundamental nature of love.

Just like going into a shamanic journey, you cannot come out of the viewing of Lightships unchanged and you will want to try it again, for more insights, healing and opening to the other dimensions. And just like a shamanic ceremony, you're rarely there by accident. This movie will touch you, make its way to your soul and if not now, one day, you will have a deja vu moment and will want to come back to the movie and read all of Maryann Rada's writings.
You can feel all of the cast is totally involved in the making of this movie, phisically, emotionally, all of their being is present, Looking forward John Harrigan's next movie !
