Mr. Vincent

I went to a screening of Yonkers Joe. I was so moved by it when I got home I went here on IMDb to see what other movie the Director has done. Mr. Vincent, OK I went to Netflix.com and placed my order. It arrived and I once again was blown away, sorry to say but I identified with what the actor was going through. But then again if you reach into your heart and think about it, we all have. In love with someone to the point where your so obsessed that you can't think, eat or sleep. The performance by Frank John Hughes was so spot on that I felt his pain. Lisa Locicero a beautiful actress just added to the realism of the film. Wonderfully written, Directed and edited by Robert Celestino.

"If you've ever been in love, or out of it -- go see this movie.

This film was a powerful & realistic telling of a relationship gone wrong. At times, I was almost uncomfortable watching it. I liked that it was in B&W. See it!

This movie showed a very believable portrayal of one man's obsession for his girlfriend gone way overboard. The acting was superb, and I liked how the movie was in black and white, it gave the effect more dramatic meaning, like perhaps the black and white-ness reflected the way that John Vincent saw the world ... either Lisa (object of his affection) loved him or hated him, sort of an all-or-nothing perspective. He goes kind of psycho in this movie, but it's so realistic that it's creepy ... this sort of thing happens all the time to people you know, not just people on the Jerry Springer show. I can see how watching this movie may be a little difficult for people that are in the same sort of situation, though. All in all, however, I'd give this movie an 8 out of 10.

The reviewers seeming to feel strongly about this movie, I decided to see it. I am glad I did.

The decision to film in black and white definitely made this movie more captivating, although, I think that Frank John Hughes is what really made it the Sundance success it was. I was immediately responsive to his character interpretation, however, was disappointed that the director didn't develop it a bit more. The story would have been much more compelling had he taken advantage of Frank Hughes acting's abilities.

On this subject, and for a "girlier" comment, I would love to see Frank John Hughes in more movies, and not just for his good looks! Why isn't Hollywood using him more instead of other "pretty actors who can't act"…And why hasn't IMDb made his other movies available on DVD yet?

After reading the comments dished out by the last reviewer I was compelled to defend this film. It seems to me that this was a personal attack against the director and not the film. I question whether this amateur reviewer has ever seen the film or any film for that matter. This film has the courage to go where few others dare. It examines the psychology of the characters and claims no fancy thrills. The director has the rare abilty to depict these people so casually that it becomes nightmarish and disturbing to watch - and he does this without a shread of physical violence. This film is a MUST SEE for any serious film buff or anyone who isn't afraid take an emotional ride that will stay with you for a very long time.
