    Haunting, stays with you long after the credit's roll

    Set across three years against a backdrop of the Lake District and York. It's a hauntingly beautiful tale of love and loss with a supernatural edge.

    The acting is incredible and chemistry between the two leads is a joy to watch. The story takes the viewer on many twists and turns keeps you guessing throughout. It's been a long time since I've sat in a cinema and needed to sit for a while after the credits roll to process. It was enough to give me goosebumps and want to immediately hug the people I love the most.

    Stella acting, beautiful cinematography combined with a truly unique script has resulted in my new favourite Christmas film.

    Highlight of London Breeze Film Festival

    This film was a highlight of London Breeze Film Festival last October. It is a wonderfully atmospheric haunted love story. The performances are excellent and really draw you in. Set across three Christmases, it plays with time in a creative way to keep you intrigued and invested.

    I loved the settings - York and Keswick. There are great shots out on the moors, and the original soundtrack also adds to the atmosphere and stays with you for some time afterwards.

    This is a perfect Christmas film - a ghost story that can be rewatched annually to get you in that Christmas mood.

    Highly recommended.

    A wonderfully poignant film portraying the love that people share and the cruel bad luck that can drive them apart... the spiritual side of the film made me question which parts were real and which were not from within. A good bit of humour within when watching scenes were welcome which I suppose is what you would get if you were ever within a similar scenario. . The reunion by way of which you do not expect shows the thought that has gone into making a film and also reality of what many people believe may well be a reality. As ever with a Christmas film, ending to remember for many different reason. Bravo 👏 👏👏

    Beautiful, haunting, memorable

    Between the Lights has stuck with me unlike any film I've seen in a truly long time. It's like a feeling surrounding you that lingers and keeps you in its aura, thinking about it. Visually it is a spectacular, beautiful film. The music creates an entire otherworldly experience. The entire film stays with you, envelops you in its magic. I was lucky enough to see the movie around the holidays and months later I am still thinking about it.

    It was more than a film-more of a thought provoking transcendent experience that you find yourself turning over and feeling. I would love to study this film, and if I taught I would absolutely assign it. It lends itself to extremely thoughtful and deep discussion and feeling.

    To believe or not to believe??

    I managed to catch Between the Lights at the Keswick Film Festival. A beautiful, emotive and poignant film set against the stunning backdrop of both the Lake District and beautiful city of York, with a love story at the heart of the film, and a great chemistry between the two main roles, it wasn't quite what I was expecting. It was the exploration of realms of spirituality that stayed with me long after watching, capturing Alices journey from skepticism to spiritual discovery whilst falling in love with someone who was already emersed in the spirit world, invited viewers to look at their own beliefs and kept me hooked.

    And to finish, the soundtrack is eerily wonderful!

    Looking forward to being able to watch again.
