The Owner

This film is quite an achievement. It's impressive how the filmmakers had so many different locations and so many different directors involve and still managed to achieve such a high level of consistency in regard to acting, sound and lighting. It was fun to watch and follow the journey of the "Rucksack" throughout the world and then end up... well, you have to see it.

A wonderfully creative, innovative, colorful and enjoyable movie. The directors certainly had their hearts in the right place: creativity and experimentation rather than monetary gain or adherence to strict reality.

By virtue of its unprecedented number of directors, The Owner is unique. The thrill, variety and color of the movie, as the plot moves from one country to another and often from one language to another, are unmistakable. The different segments and sub-plots are sometimes witty and at times poignant. The audience at one moment witnesses fashion models, police, and mystery, and soon enough video-games, child-birth, and death.

An inspiration for future filmmakers. A tribute to collaboration.

Shortcomings: Perhaps becomes a little too long towards the second half. The first half is definitely more compelling. Some amount of stereotyping: bullock-carts in the India segment, for instance.

This film has everything a view could ask for. There are moments of humor, suspense, surrealism, drama, and introspection, all within in minutes of each other. I was amazed at how well each of the individual directors worked together to make a cohesive, fun, and thought provoking story. It's evident that everyone involved worked hard to keep a singular message and POV in mind, and the effort paid off. All the vignettes flowed together seamlessly, yet each managed to have a unique, individualized look and feel, and that takes a lot of work and care. Some of the vignettes worked better for me than others, but that will probably be the case for each viewer. If a segment doesn't work for you, hang in there...another one will come along that will draw you right back into the overall story. I won't give away the ending, but I will say that the final minutes of dialog will move you and keep you thinking long after you're done viewing this film. Bravo to the filmmakers and to everyone involved for creating such a warm and innovative work.

They say too many cooks spoil the broth! But once you watch the Owner, the first of its kind film made by 25 filmmakers from different countries, continents!

Most have never met each other!

The American from Hollywood to the cows of India; the German accents and some Italian herbs spice up this incredible film!

You can see one brilliant master piece and now on its way to becoming a part of the Guinness world Record!

its a MUST watch!! GO on guys, watch, review, like, share!!

The next one is on its way too!

What an amazing achievement! The entire project from conception through production and final product is just mind boggling! I found "The Owner" to be a refreshing and insightful film. Clarity, continuity and creativity on the part of every director involved is just stellar.The use of technology in coordinating production and writing the script adds a new layer to film making. The post production work brought a sense of seamless flow to the story. I realize my entire review is a stream of hyperbole, but this film was so different, I don't want to ruin it for anyone by going into too much detail regarding the plot twists. Just go see it. I highly recommend "The Owner".
