    Just a history of a spoiled kid

    I just watched on the theater, in fact the session shows some of Oscar nominated movies and this movie was in the list and the winner also "history of Henry Sugar"

    The movie " invincible" is a drama from Canada and is inspired on a real history.

    Most movies we want see is a successful person or a very bad person but when it's come to a normal person, it's annoying because we see around people with similar life.

    So, this short movie can be resumed in a history of a spolied boy who can't accept any discipline and by committed a crime, went to the nice prision in Canada where they tried to help him but as any spoiled kid, scaped and killed himself. Well done, most spoiled criminal kids should follow his step for the goodness of society.

    Beautifully shot, well acted short film

    I really liked this short film, everything aspect was really well done except the frustration of not knowing why Marc was the way he was (understandably, as it's based on a true story and no one will know what Marc was thinking). Despite having mental health issues myself, I could not empathize with his self sabotaging behavior and that took me out of the film a bit.

    It's well worth the watch still - the cinematography was gorgeous, the acting from all (but especially the young man playing Marc) was great and the directing was on point. It's only 30 minutes so there really isn't much of an excuse not to watch it lol.

    the escape

    A great film . Admirable photography and the splendid performance of young Leokim. Beaumier Lepine. And the fair way to define not the most comfortable questions, from essence of freedom, limits of kindness of a teacher, literary talent and the isolation, the callphone to home after escape and the confirmation of warning, the radical decision as only form to assume the freedom.

    Not easy but beautiful crafted, exploring , in gentle - precise manner, fundamental truths not reduced to the case of young Marc but to each of us.

    A simple story inspired crafted. In essence that is just all . And the gratitude for a great work, for director.

    every action in a person's life is an attempt

    Vincent René-Lortie's Academy Award-nominated "Invincible" tells the story of a youth incarcerated in a detention facility. Without a doubt, this boy has all sorts of problems, but he makes an effort to deal with his problems.

    I guess that the main thing to take from this gritty short is that psychological distress damages people in ways that most of us can't imagine. We in the United States are so used to thinking of Canada as the land of no strife that a production like this will be like a brick to the face.

    I wouldn't go so far as to call this short a masterpiece, but it still goes to show what you can accomplish with a good story and good acting. Available on Vimeo.

    Raw Emotion and Exquisite Direction

    "Invincible" truly blew me away. It's astounding to see such a fresh and young talent like Vincent channel his own pain into such a powerful piece of storytelling. In half an hour, you're taken on this intense, emotional ride that you just don't want to end. The performances he's pulled from these young actors are nothing short of incredible-they're acting with a maturity way beyond their years, making you root for them every step of the way. The cinematography was clean, composed and rich making each shot and frame feel jam packed with the onscreen emotion. As a tragic story is based on real-life events, it that just makes it hit closer to home. This is one of those films that sticks with you, a perfect example of how grounded filmmaking, human stakes, and emotive storytelling can create such a moving experience. Definitely a must-watch if you're into beautifully told films that make you feel.
