The Lost

This is a power movie about the loss of a child.

It will not be an easy watch especially for parents, as it portrays trauma quite accurately.

If you are in the mood for a heavy hitter, give this one a go.

A very dark tale that effectively takes the conventions of the revenge thriller genre and molds them in a unique way. These elements culminate in a bold and emotional study of grieve and the devastating actions it can lead too. Well worth your time!

And, even though I would occasionally skip forward a bit, found the movie touching. It's all about finding your purpose and dealing with big time emotions of despair and melancholy. Then there is the technique of having everything in the story connect someway, somehow. And the acting in my humble opinion was superb - 6.5.

As a parent, I found this to be a difficult movie to watch at times. Hollie Lewis did an excellent job of portraying a grieving mother, the emotion she showed seemed fitting and accurate. Some of the other acting, of different characters was not quite so believable, but overall, this is a movie worth watching.

Impressive cerebral stream of consciousness indie movie from first time feature director Alex Klaus. Believable and often raw emotional performances from his talented cast kept the intricate plot (pay attention!) well anchored within a subtly dark soundtrack that had me thinking of David Lynch, a few of the shots as well. I'll be interested to see where this gifted director goes next.
