Mr. Vincent

This movie compels one to ambition from nearly the first frame. It's amateur quality could have been its charm, instead it becomes the touchstone of an hour and a half of smoking, cursing and screaming in place of any emotional depth. Character development is skipped, as the plot jumps through the lives of the characters without ever adequately giving them any personality. Any member of the 48 Hour Film Project would have done a better job!

Frank John Hughes was quite notable if taken outside of the inventive script and childish direction. From all the hype this received at Sundance for its emotional realism, I was excited to see the character study of a tormented love-sick. However, the delivery was nothing more than static direction of a hackneyed script.

This film was fantastic! It says a lot about your life. I, myself went through a similar relationship. The movie pulls you in and doesn't let you go. You must see it! It's like nothing I've ever seen put on the screen before. Bravo!

I caught Mr.Vincent on the Bravo channel the other night and loved it. I feel the girl was the villain in the end. She cheated on him and pushed him to his limit. Although, he did not need to go to such extremes. See it if you get the chance.

This movie showed a very believable portrayal of one man's obsession for his girlfriend gone way overboard. The acting was superb, and I liked how the movie was in black and white, it gave the effect more dramatic meaning, like perhaps the black and white-ness reflected the way that John Vincent saw the world ... either Lisa (object of his affection) loved him or hated him, sort of an all-or-nothing perspective. He goes kind of psycho in this movie, but it's so realistic that it's creepy ... this sort of thing happens all the time to people you know, not just people on the Jerry Springer show. I can see how watching this movie may be a little difficult for people that are in the same sort of situation, though. All in all, however, I'd give this movie an 8 out of 10.

I was interested the whole time. No getting up for snacks in this film. It reminded me of a situation my girlfirend experienced. I thought I was seeing a real life story. This is a must see for anyone who has dealt with an obsessive partner or vice versa.
