Jovi & Lou

Just like in old Greek mythology, where the gods mess about with us mere mortals in this dark comedy it's God (Jovi) and Lucifer (Lu) who play us. The plot is simple yet emotionally complex. It asks: Could you kill 3 potentially evil strangers to save the one you love? So, morality, love and faith are all put to the test by these 2 eternal puppeteers.

Watching Jovi and Lou was a breath of fresh air because it's original, risky, funny and very well put together. I wish big studios would work on projects like this. Both the direction and the acting are solid and really sell this wacky premise.

If you feel like watching a brave and fun indie, give this a go.

I will admit, I've always been a sucker for a kind of Faustian bargain. The immortals in this story, Jovi (God) and Lou (Satan) make their big, macro moves... while we little humans, just like the characters in this story, try to figure out how to move between the two deified poles. Sure, we all think we want to move towards the "good." But as this movie beautifully illustrates, life -- and stories -- are always more interesting when there's pull from both the good and the bad sides of life. The film "Jovi & Lou" has that push-pull tension, which creates some of the drama. But just to be clear, this movie is a lot of fun, too. Funny and fun! I was with the story from start to finish. I won't give away what happens, but if you check this movie out you're in for an interesting and entertaining ride!

In a haunting tale of love and sacrifice, 'Jovi and Lou' delves into the depths of the supernatural. Joey, devastated by his wife Mary's coma after a tragic car crash, takes a desperate plunge into a macabre bargain with the mysterious Lou. What ensues is a gripping journey into the otherworldly, where immortals Jovi and Lou manipulate human destinies as if playing an elaborate game. The film intricately weaves a narrative that blurs the lines between mortality and the supernatural, creating an eerie and captivating atmosphere. As Joey navigates this ethereal realm in pursuit of Mary's salvation, 'Jovi and Lou' unfolds a tale that explores the profound intricacies of love, fate, and the unsettling powers that govern our existence. Prepare for a cinematic experience that lingers, leaving you spellbound by its supernatural mystique. It's funny. It's entertaining. Watch it!

Really enjoyed this indie comedy about navigating difficult moral decisions in a world replete with competing world views. Liked the main actor and actress who played the couple hit with unfair misfortune. In many ways, this seemed like a play put to the screen. Not only was this due to the set designs but also the acting style and dialogue had that stage-play feel to it.

This is the kind of film some will like and some will hate since it's about competing ideologies but also draws no hard and fast conclusions aside from human nature being largely egotistic and trivial.

I enjoyed this film largely because it's a window into the mind of a single creator rather than a commercial machine.

Part The Seventh Seal, part Miracle Workers, and part Book of Jo (but a hell of a lot funnier,) this is a fast and funny indie comedy with a lot of charm and quirk to it. Definitely worth watching if you're looking for something fun and off the beaten path!

Victoria Strange offers a stand-out performance here, and. Trevor Van Uden is clearly having a lot of as her counterpart. The back and forth between God and Satan here adds a refreshing twist to a story we're all familiar with.

And at only 77 minutes, the film doesn't overstay its welcome, which is a refreshing change of pace in an era of long movies! Definitely worth a watch!
