Mr. Vincent

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!

This film was a powerful & realistic telling of a relationship gone wrong. At times, I was almost uncomfortable watching it. I liked that it was in B&W. See it!

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.

The reviewers seeming to feel strongly about this movie, I decided to see it. I am glad I did.

The decision to film in black and white definitely made this movie more captivating, although, I think that Frank John Hughes is what really made it the Sundance success it was. I was immediately responsive to his character interpretation, however, was disappointed that the director didn't develop it a bit more. The story would have been much more compelling had he taken advantage of Frank Hughes acting's abilities.

On this subject, and for a "girlier" comment, I would love to see Frank John Hughes in more movies, and not just for his good looks! Why isn't Hollywood using him more instead of other "pretty actors who can't act"…And why hasn't IMDb made his other movies available on DVD yet?

For anyone who has been there, this tale of obsessive attachment and sexual jealousy will be painful to watch. Staring out as a rather sweet arrangement, felt mutually by both parties, it ends up with Mr. Vincent as a stalker and dangerous person. Excellent acting and direction. Thank God for the Independent Film Chan
