Invincible

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.

I just watched on the theater, in fact the session shows some of Oscar nominated movies and this movie was in the list and the winner also "history of Henry Sugar"

The movie " invincible" is a drama from Canada and is inspired on a real history.

Most movies we want see is a successful person or a very bad person but when it's come to a normal person, it's annoying because we see around people with similar life.

So, this short movie can be resumed in a history of a spolied boy who can't accept any discipline and by committed a crime, went to the nice prision in Canada where they tried to help him but as any spoiled kid, scaped and killed himself. Well done, most spoiled criminal kids should follow his step for the goodness of society.

I really liked this short film, everything aspect was really well done except the frustration of not knowing why Marc was the way he was (understandably, as it's based on a true story and no one will know what Marc was thinking). Despite having mental health issues myself, I could not empathize with his self sabotaging behavior and that took me out of the film a bit.

It's well worth the watch still - the cinematography was gorgeous, the acting from all (but especially the young man playing Marc) was great and the directing was on point. It's only 30 minutes so there really isn't much of an excuse not to watch it lol.

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.
