Nocturne

I saw the movie in Toronto. I am pretty sure it was the Canadian premiere. I watched the trailer and was intrigued by the mystery and the mood. It was quite a surprise. So many different genre elements combined together for a wonderful effect. Pincus is a bright new voice for Canadian cinema and I am curious to see what his next project could be. Based on this film it could be anything: Thriller, Animated, Comedy, Psychological Drama? Whatever he chooses to do, I am sure it will be just as intriguing. The music and cinematography were critical to the entrancing success. I loved how the shots and music changed as the movie slowly evolved from an art piece/character drama to a thriller. It happened so seamlessly. The acting was very good. Especially the female lead. Definitely worth catching when you can.

I saw this film in Louisiana at a film festival. It was a beautiful piece of work. the look of the film was pretty stunning. beautifully shot. The storytelling and the main two actors performances were top notch. Mary Krohnert's performance was great.

Had a great vibe throughout and the fact that I really cared about the characters in such a strange story about a sleepwalker was quite an accomplishment. Its just a cool film with a very Indy feel to it which I loved. Pincus took a very original idea and made a pretty beautiful and believable world out of it with the help of some great performances.

I would definitely recommend.

I just discovered via Facebook that this wonderful film is returning to a screen here in Brunswick. It was clearly one of the great surprises from this year's NJIFF festival. While there were certainly some great films, "Nocturne" really stood out. Marked by great storytelling and clever craftsmanship, this film really took me on an unexpected journey.

Supported by a nuanced and deeply touching script, the unique story of these unique and characters really made a mark on me. Director Pincus is very adept at discovering and presenting the core and base emotions of these very complex personalities.

The cinematography and music was also a real stand-out. Beautifully scaled images, inventive animation sequences (another surprise) and a fully realized score gave this rich film even more healthy layers. While the movie did seem to play out just a bit too long, I highly recommend this film to anyone who has an opportunity to see it this October. It is a film that should not be missed. I really hope it gets it's chance with the wider audience it deserves!

I was fortunate enough to go to a screening of this movie. If you get a chance to see it I think you will be impressed. I left thinking about the plot and actors and going back over what they were telling me, not just while I was there. A great use of storytelling and cinematography with a mix better than most multi million movies. It's an independent movie that had me entertained from beginning to end. Try to see it if you can. It is probably going to be on the festival circuit for a while. but I really hope it gets a distributor that gets it to the general public as well.

I'm sure this is a first of many for Mr Pincus.

Like many others who attend film festivals, I was looking for a surprise…and boy did I ever find one! My girlfriend and I took a chance and decided to try out 'Nocturne' at the Jersey Int'l Film Fest. The premise intrigued me. And while I am not much of a movie buff, I really dug this one.

Yes it was a bit of a strange film for someone like me who usually likes the usual Hollywood fare, but it was a good kind of strange. I loved the female lead. She had a certain something that I felt I could connect with - something of a genuine kind of 'screwed-upness' that I could really relate to. I think what made this film so special to me is that it remained honest to that spirit all the way through. It didn't apologize for itself in trying to be a different type of movie.

I was so impressed with it that my girlfriend suggested I post a review. While this is not usually the type of thing I ever do, I feel that this unique film really deserves it. There has been so many boring and predictable Hollywood movies for the longest time that this was a true breath of fresh air. I really hope that this movie has a chance to get into the mainstream. If this review helps in any way, then I am glad to have been a part of it.
