Lost Angels

This is a fascinating film that gives us a look into the different types of people working (or hoping to work) in Hollywood, and the sacrifices people are willing to make to 'get ahead.' This is a brilliantly acted film and the added bonus is that it has a fantastic soundtrack! This is a movie that anyone hoping to get into the entertainment industry can relate to, often asking ourselves 'what would I do to succeed?', 'is love as important as success?' Stan Harrington made a master film, with important and relevant issues to everyone- not just performers. I can't wait to see what Stan and his team make next. He's definitely found a life long fan in me!!

This film was so honest and exposed the sacrifices and choices you needed to make it in Hollywood. Was so surprised how good Oliver Pigott was in his first acting job and to also be the main character too wow Great soundtrack and this movie was shot tight but just close enough to capture such emotions which helped the movie to flow so effortlessly. Well done

If you are just going by the music, this film is a ten. If you just go by the cinematography, this film is a ten. If you just go by the story, this film is a ten. Oliver Piggot comes to Los Angeles with nothing but a guitar and his beautiful and haunting voice. Guess what, it's enough. Harrington continues his indie assault on the Hollywood machine by making films that matter and in this case, it's a film about the trappings of fame, fortune, sex, music and of course love that is doomed. The film plays well as a cautionary tale and that's too bad because with brilliant performances from a seasoned cast and director, you'd hope for the Disney, fairy tale ending. Let's see if we get it. No spoilers here. Great piece of filmmaking.

Lost Angels is about a theme that all of us experience at some point in our lives. In fact this theme is so prevalent that we have a common phrase to express it - "selling your soul to the devil". In Lost Angels the story follows a young couple in love, and the choices they make to reach their goals. The question becomes, were the choices made worth the sacrifices that must be endured? The cast was superb, and Oliver was phenomenal especially considering it was his first transition from musical artist to actor. He gets the chance to showcase his musical talent with a fantastic score. The film is fun to watch, although very moving at times and may leave you quite emotional by the end. Overall an excellent film about a very deep and thought provoking theme.

I watched it on prime and felt the Joshua character was under developed. Female lead seemed to have gotten more attention as far as details and character development, kinda felt the movie was about her. Her perfornance was outstanding. However, as far as the soundtrack, it goes without saying that Oliver Piggott is a genius lyricist. I rewinded a few times just to watch him play. His music moves you, and his passion for his music oozes. It would be amazing if a movie was made about the life of Oliver Piggott, now THAT would be a story like no other, crazy unexpected twist and turns and far from the usual painfull climb to stardom. A story not only worth telling, but should be told. Here's to hoping.
