The Lost

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.

The story is raw and complex, complemented by a great performance from the lead actress. The actors carried the film from beginning to end and the directing really immersed me in the atmosphere of the film. The editing tells the story effectively, as well. Overall, it's a deeper story and if you're wanting to experience a bold, original portrait of loss and a new journey, this might be the film for you.

I just turned it off after 20 minutes. I couldn't see it going anywhere fast. It's too random. Too many idiot characters that just wander about doing nothing whatsoever. Avoid.

A nice indie that starts slow (that's not a negative) but really gets going in the second act. Highly recommended!! If you are looking for something to watch, and to support independent filmmakers, this is worth a watch.
