Psychosynthesis

Sorry but I thought the acting was awful- with the exception of the actor who played lead character's husband. The idea for the movie is good; just hated the flatness of the characters.

She's an unpleasant, selfish, uncaring, vapid, empty woman in the beginning and nothing about those qualities changes. Luckily, it was a short sit. They get 3 stars because it's not flat-out awful (and because I watched a film of far worse quality earlier today, a film that was FAR more entertaining, ironically) in its construction, but it doesn't do anything interesting or new. Seems like a competently made student film, and that's fine, but is that enough? No. There are no character arcs, so you're left with a promise that the concerned, supportive husband and their child will receive more negative treatment. What was the point? It's anyone's guess.

Noam has done an amazing job writing directing and editing this film. Mysterious, chilling, assured and meditative cinema from start to finish. Superb acting by the whole cast, gorgeous 4x3 Cinematography/Lighting, great score. All around wow, heavy dark flick.

The plot evolves in a satisfying way with new information added in each scene... Alice's (Stephanie Pearson) step by step change from sick and fragile, into a force to be reckoned with, was well thought out and emotionally resonant, both script-wise, and acting-wise... definitely rattled me. You can see the darkness grow in her eyes as the scenes progress. I liked the twist with Johnny Day's character (will refrain from spoilers). Was also very impressed with Olive (Gracelyn Hanon Awad)!

Noam you are an inspiration to independent filmmakers everywhere. Can't wait to see the next one!

A really tightly plotted, tense piece of filmmaking! There's no fat on the script at all and it really zips through it's 71 min runtime. It's great all round but I was particularly impressed with the cinematography - the bold colour palette, framing and aspect ratio feel claustrophobic and the atmosphere created really keeps you hooked. I didn't really like the characters and I predicted the ending very early on - but it didn't feel like they were 'the point' of the film so didn't spoil my enjoyment at all.

This movie .. was almost not a movie. It was comprised of long, exhaustive scenes where nothing happens, strung together. And this is my favorite genre. It is disappointing, annoying & bad.
