A mesmerizing tapestry that captures the intricate nuances of emotion. To watch with discerning eyes and an open heart, as it unfolds a rich tapestry of the profound human condition.

Vincent René-Lortie's Academy Award-nominated "Invincible" tells the story of a youth incarcerated in a detention facility. Without a doubt, this boy has all sorts of problems, but he makes an effort to deal with his problems.

I guess that the main thing to take from this gritty short is that psychological distress damages people in ways that most of us can't imagine. We in the United States are so used to thinking of Canada as the land of no strife that a production like this will be like a brick to the face.

I wouldn't go so far as to call this short a masterpiece, but it still goes to show what you can accomplish with a good story and good acting. Available on Vimeo.

"Invincible" truly blew me away. It's astounding to see such a fresh and young talent like Vincent channel his own pain into such a powerful piece of storytelling. In half an hour, you're taken on this intense, emotional ride that you just don't want to end. The performances he's pulled from these young actors are nothing short of incredible-they're acting with a maturity way beyond their years, making you root for them every step of the way. The cinematography was clean, composed and rich making each shot and frame feel jam packed with the onscreen emotion. As a tragic story is based on real-life events, it that just makes it hit closer to home. This is one of those films that sticks with you, a perfect example of how grounded filmmaking, human stakes, and emotive storytelling can create such a moving experience. Definitely a must-watch if you're into beautifully told films that make you feel.

A great, emotional story and fantastic performances. Director Vincent René-Lortie clearly is a name to watch as is the young star Léokim Beaumier-Lépine who gives a note-perfect natural performance as Marc-Antoine as his life unravels.

The story - and it's in the bio so it can't be a spoiler - sees us follow Marc-Antione in the last 48 hours of his life as he is taken back to the juvenile detention facility where he is being held after a blissful weekend of home leave.

I hear this is being put forward for the 'live-action short' Oscar. That's perfectly well-deserved and it will take something great to beat it.

It's a truly exceptional short film and a credit to everyone involved in making it. Go and find where it's showing and give it 30 minutes of your life.

A great film . Admirable photography and the splendid performance of young Leokim. Beaumier Lepine. And the fair way to define not the most comfortable questions, from essence of freedom, limits of kindness of a teacher, literary talent and the isolation, the callphone to home after escape and the confirmation of warning, the radical decision as only form to assume the freedom.

Not easy but beautiful crafted, exploring , in gentle - precise manner, fundamental truths not reduced to the case of young Marc but to each of us.

A simple story inspired crafted. In essence that is just all . And the gratitude for a great work, for director.
