Psychosynthesis

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.

In a perfect world, this movie would still be a waste of time. The storyline goes nowhere, it wants to and had the possibility to, but the person writing this story must have fallen asleep while writing because he loses his way.

Believe it or not, the scores in the film were melodramatic and way too loud on accusation. There is no nudity, but there is one sex scene, you can only see the woman's facial expression no body parts shown.

The acting in the film was at a novice level, this film truly was a waste of time. I could only wonder how the film was financed and made it to prime TV'.

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.

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 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.
