Myth

Tucci is a great villain. The film overall makes you feel really uncomfortable by design. The idea of creating a movie in a movie is clever and effective.

This is a refreshingly twisted film on how far one will go to get what one wants. The humor is quirky and sometimes dark especially with the main actor. And the film takes you in one direction only to lead you in another in a smart psychological way, while still being humorous about the whole affair. What makes this film work is that it does not go the formulaic way of most films of these types, but instead veers into uncharted territory in order to create something different and that is refreshing. You will care about the characters, you will wonder how it all ends, and you will appreciate everything the director did to get you there. Nice job!

Myth has an interesting (if unsettling) premise and is anchored by Nicholas Tucci's performance. Indie movies can be an acquired taste but I was pleasantly surprised this time as I was sucked in by the story. I seem to have thing for movies within a movie. Some of my favorites include Fellini's "8 1/2", Truffaut's "Day for Night," and even Tom DiCillo's "Living in Oblivion." That being said, Myth was right up my alley. I also think the overall aesthetic, including cinematography and production design, are solid. The pace is a bit slow but feels appropriate for the narrative. Overall, a great little indie.

Myth is an interesting indie film. Nicholas Tucci does a great job at giving off an unsettling vibe as the filmmaker who wants to make a film that follows real-life, but starts to make you question his intentions and what is real and what is for the movie. I really like these movies where there's a film within a film, and I appreciate the throwback feeling as well. While all independent films have their imperfections, I found that Myth was definitely worth a watch for me.

The lead character, a director with a cult following wants to make a movie. So many interesting moments, humour, twist and odd 80's retro feel to this film. The actor Nicolas Tucci was excellent, that is what kept me engaged the entire time. An interesting and engaging indie film.
