The Song of Sway Lake

This is the type of movie in which you won't regret watching it after the film is over, but you might think what else you could have done with your time and money if you spent any to see it.

Robert Sheehan did amazing at acting and his accent in this movie it had a nice story a lot I was not expecting while watching this if you love unique and different movies then this is for you.

I saw it as a personal story about myself. About past and its figures, about choices, about love, about an object who could change everything and it does it but in profound special manner. And about a place, sacred for the memories and for the connections with it and for lovely manner to invent it as part of yourself. Two performances are real siignificant -Mary Beth Peil as Charlie and Robert Sheehan as Nikolay. One is more than beautiful - the young Rory Culkin as an Oliver Sway looking for invent his present. The source of love for this film, in my case, was the simple feeling to discover fragments of my life. Each film about yourself is a great discover. Fictionally, off course, but this status remains the only important. Short, a great movie. And a beautiful work in the most profound sense.

THE SONG OF SWAY LAKE

Love a film that walks off the main path and out into the forest. That is not like many of its big, blockbuster cousins. A film with delicate subtley.

This utter gem from Ari Gold is such a film. Evocative and beautiful scenery play a big part in creating a magical feel. The heady soundtrack also is a key player. (Ethan Gold)

We meet Ollie and his slightly erratic Russian friend Nikolai, off to steal a valuable 78 record from his grandmother's lakeside home to make a fortune. Craziness ensues fuelled by drink and freedom. It turns on a coin though when the matriarch of the house returns looking for the same 78. If you love a film with a real story line, a deeper level storyline, you will love this delightful trip of a movie.

Very, very strong performances from all the cast involved. I was very moved by the dance scene towards the end. You may need tissues. Love moves in mysterious ways.

I'd give this a solid 10/10

The aesthetics of the film were amazing, there were some beautiful shots. The plot was straight forward and the characters were fairly fleshed out. Robert Sheehan played a particularly colorful character named Nikolai, who spent a good bit of the movie barely or not at all clothed - so if you're in it for gratuitous Sheehan, you're all set. Overall it was really enjoyable for my friend and I, though we didn't spend much time discussing it after talking about what we thought happened after the ending. As a comparable musical once said, "Look, I know it's not a perfect show...It does what it's supposed to do; it takes you to another world. A little something for when you're feeling blue, you know?" And this film did just that. It's an escape to a warmer, more interesting place of exploration and ultimately growth.
