The Girl with the Fork

An Impressive slow burn indie drama thriller with a real sense of style. Keeps you guessing. Keeps you thinking.

The story intertwines between married couple Anna and Mike played by Rebecca Calienda and Dylan Baldwin and father and daughter Paul and Celia played by Paul Dewdney and Francesca Hayman.

They are all interlinked by this mysterious group contacting them in various ways and pulling the strings and, well, a fork...

If you're after some kind of fast paced hollywood flick that spoon feeds you the plot then this probably won't be for you but if you're in the mood for something a little different and you have an attention span of more then a few minutes it's well worth a look.

Some great measured and thoughtful performances from the actors, an intriguing story and a brilliant score.

I gave this about 15 to 20 minutes, in which there is very little dialogue and what dialogue there is, is so dragged out it became ridiculous. It took at times a full minute for a character to get out one word and then another. I had no idea what was going on, and didn't care as there is no character development. Actors would just stand in a room looking around. A man takes off his shirt , that took a few minutes but felt like half an hour. I guess this was trying to be something arty but it's just nonsense. I wasn't even curious to see where it was going because I had to force myself just to suffer through the first 15 minutes. Don't bother. The ratings on this have nosedived as the real reviews are posted.

An intriguing story by Ignacio, exploring people's lives and blending them into a suspenseful cocktail, which the film effectively builds upon. While the pace could pick up in some scenes to enhance the sense of progression, it's a solid choice for fans of suspenseful indie dramas. The soundtrack is impressive-though occasionally overused-but lands well when it counts. There's some terrific lighting and a surprising use of color that adds to the visual appeal.

On the technical side, the sound could have been polished a bit more, but those minor indie-film quirks are easily overlooked, as they don't detract from the experience.

Terrific imagery by Matthew J. Hicks, accompanied by great music from Fernando Gimeno.

A surprising very good movie! I watched this expecting the usual cliches but there were a few surprising twists. It's a compelling, mysterious and a journey into the unknown. It will leave the viewers thinking hard.

Ignacio and Alex have created a world that will leave the viewer astonished and wandering. I've had to watch it again and again and it still leaves me wandering.

A feast for all the senses. Would highly recommended this stylised indie film.

A glimpse into a world that will leave your heart racing and your mind ticking.

A very good movie all round. I would definitely recommend this film.

This is a wonderfully intriguing, thought provoking suspense from Ignacio Maiso that has all the brilliant hallmarks that define his directorial and writing talents. I've worked with him before starring in Prowler. His intentional use of light, shadow, stillness, metaphor and music along with rhythm and texture create the intensity in this feature that perfectly rides on the waves of his unmistakablely creative storyline. It breathes carrying the viewer to unknown outcomes until they are discovered. Then it comes together like act 4 of a dramatic opera. Much applause for this strong cast too. Well done!
