Like many others who attend film festivals, I was looking for a surprise
and boy did I ever find one! My girlfriend and I took a chance and decided to try out 'Nocturne' at the Jersey Int'l Film Fest. The premise intrigued me. And while I am not much of a movie buff, I really dug this one.
Yes it was a bit of a strange film for someone like me who usually likes the usual Hollywood fare, but it was a good kind of strange. I loved the female lead. She had a certain something that I felt I could connect with - something of a genuine kind of 'screwed-upness' that I could really relate to. I think what made this film so special to me is that it remained honest to that spirit all the way through. It didn't apologize for itself in trying to be a different type of movie.
I was so impressed with it that my girlfriend suggested I post a review. While this is not usually the type of thing I ever do, I feel that this unique film really deserves it. There has been so many boring and predictable Hollywood movies for the longest time that this was a true breath of fresh air. I really hope that this movie has a chance to get into the mainstream. If this review helps in any way, then I am glad to have been a part of it.
