The Renata Road

A slow burner and more about the atmosphere and mystery than a traditional narrative. (It was good to know that going in).

This is one of those films where it's mostly left down to interpretation, so if you like that sort of thing, as I do, then you'll like this.

Strong performances all round and some seriously disturbed characters and moments. The lead actress is fantastic and you have real empathy for her which contrasts well with a lot of the other characters, especially the brother/barman and the older couple, who are just vile.

The subtle score was highly effective as well and complimented the overall feel.

It's a hard film to pigeonhole. It's quite different.

If you're looking for a typical mystery thriller, you won't find that here.

But if you're looking for something that will challenge your expectations and asks for your interpretation rather than spoon feeding you information. Something a little weird and different. Then you just might enjoy this as much as I did.

Please, please do spoil it for viewers and save the wasted time invested in watching we can never get back. I beg U, anyone who knows what this nonsense is about? It's dumb, boring and ob iously low budget. God, I hope death is nothing this crazy, running through strangers in a narrative of weirdness in a not so fun "Howdy DoodyTime" timeline. Only, big brother has an agenda anchored in voyeuristic snooping. The actor are from summer camp stage production and race through the interesting sequences that could offer a sublimsince of acceptance and understanding. The protagonist is? The antagonist is?

I loved this film. It was so good I literally, literally watched it five times back-to-back. It is so good. I'm not going to spoil it for anyone, so won't give the ending, or anything away, but I would definitely recommend this film to everyone. It is the best film, and I am well aware that I have already said that a lot but I need to tell everyone how good this film is. I loved all the costumes, all the effects, and all the actors were brilliant in it. And not to mention the people behind the scenes. How much effort they would have had to put in to make it as good as it is is unbelievable!!!!

Now I can't say that this is the best film ever as another reviewer has, but it certainly isn't worthy of the low scores from some.

It's low budget Indie. Now compare that to most low budget Indies and you've actually got something quite special here.

Technically better than a lot of the big budget stuff. And actually more engaging if you give it a chance and know you're going to be watching something a bit different from the norm.

It's a mystery movie, but one that doesn't hand hold the viewer. There's a lot left to the interpretation of the audience and I really liked that. It was different and it left me with questions (in a good way).

Performances are great and the direction is commendable.

This deserves more praise considering the limitations of budget.

Some trolls have deliberately given a low rating, so I'm compensating. Real score 8/10.
