Chasing Light

An absolutely painful movie to sit through, even at 75 minutes. The actors are all ineffectual and the story leaves no impression. Is this supposed to be suspenseful, thrilling, a drama, or a faith-based movie? I ended up laughing at a lot of the dialogue, so I must have missed what the aim was.

Normally I would beef up my review with suggestions on how a bad movie can be improved. I think the entire project should have been scrapped.

A 13 year old kid suffers a fall and loses his memory, and the consciousness of a murder victim ends up inhabiting his body. That sounds interesting on paper, but what's dumb is that the kid's personality doesn't change at all. He conducts himself as a confused kid the entire movie, instead of transitioning into a drug fiend.

Incredibly stupid movie. I don't understand those who are still delighted with the movie. Cheap acting, direction, dialogues, story, everything is poorly thought out and cheaply done, including the mom's wig at the end, which is the cheapest haha. Ok, luckily it only lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes. I don't know what else to say here because this is too much for this kind of stupid movie, and this is the first review I gave because it annoyed me that I can no longer trust these comments here. Something is wrong with cinematography, it's getting worse, people are losing the concept of what a good film and story is, and it's probably a consequence of the fact that good quality films are no longer being made.

From the opening scene, the film pulls you into its world with breathtaking visuals. The cinematography feels almost like a character itself, capturing the raw beauty of nature in ways that make you pause and reflect. Watching Chasing Light was extremely suspenseful for me lol I kept wondering what was going to happen next. What stood out to me the most was the connection between Max and his mother. One moment that stayed with me was when Max finally realized what was happening to him. The film's pacing was slower than your typical suspense, but I found it fitting. It gave me time to sit with the emotions and absorb the message about finding light even in life's darkest moments. If I had one critique, it's that I wish the ending had been just a bit more fleshed out. Without spoiling anything, it felt a little abrupt after such an emotional buildup. But even so, it left me with a sense of hope and a reminder to look for beauty in the everyday. Also it sort of gave me that maybe the director wanted the viewers to interpret the ending to their liking. If so, that was absolutely genius. Great job to the cast and crew seriously! I enjoy film where it's not so gimmicky and all in your face, but you feel the soul of it.

For anyone who loves movies that make you think, feel, and maybe even shed a tear, I highly recommend Chasing Light. It's not just a film; it's an experience.

What a beautiful film. From start to finish, it's visually stunning and emotional. The colours and cinematography are breathtaking and there was clearly a lot of thought put into every shot to really complement the story's mood.

The music also deserves a moment. It wraps around the story perfectly without ever overpowering the narrative. Every high and low Max felt throughout his journey was enhanced and supported by the music.

About Max's journey, it's emotional and layered, and he really manages to pull you with him into his search for his truth. All of the characters pulled their weight and had a specific impact on the story.

This movie is heartfelt, beautifully shot, and definitely one to watch.

When you understand love has no boundaries you can allow yourselves to imagine, to feel a creation like this. Trav, takes us on a journey of not one person's life, but several. We see the grief stricten mother. The father that couldn't take the pain. A set of parents that have no clue what's happening. A child that gets a second chance and a mother that understands to love your child with absolute completeness sometimes means to let go. What would I be able to offer as a review for such a masterpiece as this? Nothing. There are no words to describe it. It's a MUST SEE, MUCH NEEDED piece of art.
