Octavio Is Dead!

Sarah Gadon is one of the actress that i think that they can act but unfortunately her acting was wasted in this movie because of the weak plot. I thought this could be a firm horror movie but it mellowed to a an ABC family drama of somesort in the end.

Notes: I thought her dad left her a mansion. That would be better for the fear factor.

Boring movie which really makes no real sense. How can no one notice she's a girl with short hair trying to be a boy. I think the director really tried hard to be very deep and original but missed the mark hugely.

Her father literally kept his sexuality in a closet Haha This movie is about the way that people experience each other and experience gender and sexuality in different contexts. Not all of the acting is amazing but it makes it feel real

I watched this movie for one reason alone...Sarah Gadon. Sadly even her skills could not lift this mediocre, confusing, pointless movie to more than a 4. There really is no story except perhaps a fumbled attempt to say something about her growing up and moving away from her Mum. It would be easy to come up with some pretentious mumbo jumbo and find a good excuse for the movie, sadly the truth is it's just boring as hell with no plot or point. One really perplexing point is why would a brilliant actress like Sarah Gadon go full frontal for such a low budget, boring film? It makes no sense whatsoever but the full frontal is about the only thing worth watching.

I liked it a lot but I also identify with the plight of the lead to try and figure out who she is on the inside and explore her sexuality. I think some of the low reviews are because the reviewers just 'don't get' the point of this movie.
