Myth

I had no idea what to expect from this movie. I got sucked in and really liked hanging with the characters and wondering what would happen next. It's like an indie Truman show in a way. It's got a vibe that sort of demands that you relax and take whatever you're watching in. It's got a subtle comedy that I really dig! If you're an aspiring artist of any kind, I think you'll love this like I did. Also, THE MUSIC IS SO GOOD!

Myth has an interesting (if unsettling) premise and is anchored by Nicholas Tucci's performance. Indie movies can be an acquired taste but I was pleasantly surprised this time as I was sucked in by the story. I seem to have thing for movies within a movie. Some of my favorites include Fellini's "8 1/2", Truffaut's "Day for Night," and even Tom DiCillo's "Living in Oblivion." That being said, Myth was right up my alley. I also think the overall aesthetic, including cinematography and production design, are solid. The pace is a bit slow but feels appropriate for the narrative. Overall, a great little indie.

This is a refreshingly twisted film on how far one will go to get what one wants. The humor is quirky and sometimes dark especially with the main actor. And the film takes you in one direction only to lead you in another in a smart psychological way, while still being humorous about the whole affair. What makes this film work is that it does not go the formulaic way of most films of these types, but instead veers into uncharted territory in order to create something different and that is refreshing. You will care about the characters, you will wonder how it all ends, and you will appreciate everything the director did to get you there. Nice job!

Nicholas Tucci is this movie, but that's certainly not to take away from Justin Andrew Davis or Sadie Scott. MYTH works in its subtle realism, even when that realism is stretched. Not a thriller, but psychologically engaging and engrossing.

Definitely check this one out!

I'm a big fan of the film "You're Next", so I was drawn to this by Nicholas Tucci. But I also love the film within a film conceit and "Myth" does a great job with it. I liked the mix of comedy and thriller/drama, and it takes you on a fun journey.
