Psychosynthesis

This unique, taut indie flick respects the art of filmmaking. It's evidenced by its creative cinematography and color grading, excellent music score, thriller-genre editing, and great use of the minimal locations. It is an impressive and enjoyable film.

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.

I was looking forward to watching this film directed by Noam Kroll, who I've "followed" for a few years now. The plot and concept were interesting, and the cinematography itself was great... but I was rather disappointed in it. I felt the movie moved at a glacial pace, with A LOT of breathing space in between and within the scenes. I thought the first interesting thing (besides the concept) didn't occur until almost an hour in, and that's only 10 minutes before it ends. For a 71 minute film, I thought the story was stretched as much as it could've been. I didn't particularly care for the acting, although not a whole lot was required of the actors either. I also found some of the profanity odd (almost forced) in places, like the husband f-bombing his weak, sick wife to get in the car to go to the hospital, rather than (God forbid) helping her. The ending is justifiably ambiguous, but also has at least one major hole (unless I didn't see the fix) relating to the character "getting away with it." Overall, definitely a low-budget film that used the most of its resources, but I felt could've been better and at least a little more interesting.

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.
