The Girl with the Fork

The film really nails the suspense, with a plot that slowly unravels each character's secrets. But it can drag a bit and gets a little too convoluted in spots. Even so, it's a solid pick for anyone into indie feeling suspenseful dramas. The soundtrack is a highlight that totally amp up the tension and match the film's quirky feel.

There's a couple really lynchesque on steroids tracks in there. The cast does a great job, bringing the characters to life as the plot takes its twists and turns. Pacing can be challenging, especially the camera work that often chooses to stay put and linger for ages on a framing, but overall, I think it's a really solid effort.

A surprising very good movie! I watched this expecting the usual cliches but there were a few surprising twists. It's a compelling, mysterious and a journey into the unknown. It will leave the viewers thinking hard.

Ignacio and Alex have created a world that will leave the viewer astonished and wandering. I've had to watch it again and again and it still leaves me wandering.

A feast for all the senses. Would highly recommended this stylised indie film.

A glimpse into a world that will leave your heart racing and your mind ticking.

A very good movie all round. I would definitely recommend this film.

For anyone already familiar with Ignacio Maiso's work, you'll know not to expect a storyline that gifts you answers, nor one that has you celebrating for having guessed the ending after 12 minutes... Instead, you'll likely be challenged to piece some of his stories together yourself, and The Girl with the Fork is no different.

It is a clearer narrative than some of his earlier movies (Them, The Consultant), cleverly jumping between timelines, but it will still leave you guessing until the very end.

If you're looking for a high octane, big budget Friday night movie epic then this won't be the right choice for you, but for those of you keen to engage with a more thought-provoking slow-burn, this is certainly one of the better options out there.

With strong lead performances by Rebecca Calienda and Paul Dewdney, and a perfectly composed score by Fernando Gimeno, this beautifully shot thriller is a fine example of UK independent film making and what can be achieved with low-to-no budget.

This is a wonderfully intriguing, thought provoking suspense from Ignacio Maiso that has all the brilliant hallmarks that define his directorial and writing talents. I've worked with him before starring in Prowler. His intentional use of light, shadow, stillness, metaphor and music along with rhythm and texture create the intensity in this feature that perfectly rides on the waves of his unmistakablely creative storyline. It breathes carrying the viewer to unknown outcomes until they are discovered. Then it comes together like act 4 of a dramatic opera. Much applause for this strong cast too. Well done!

Ignacio Maiso stylish psychological thriller where David Lynch meets Luis Buñuel.

Maiso through his filmic language, uses the screen as a canvas to paint tense situations and tell an intriguing story.

An excellent cast, the actors convey much with minimal dialogue, they live and move in a stage like dimension, sculptured by contrasting colors and alternating light and shadow, they navigate the depth and breath of the story with elegance and skill.

The music score effectively underlines emotions, sets the tone and supports the actor's performance.

An interesting and yet enjoyable film to watch.
