Vampira Humanista Procura Suicida Voluntário

This may not conquer new grounds with what it wants to say but it does what it set out to do immensely well. It's a dark comedy rom-com coming-of-age film with a lot of heart. The way it explores the themes of being different and being alone through multiple facets while being outwardly simplistic can be said to be derived from similar films but it still works great. There are a few things that could have maybe improved this but they weren't trying to be anything more really. What can I say, this is something tailor-made for someone like me. Loved both the actors in the main roles too. Looking forward to the director's future projects.

I was in NYC the other day and I wanted to see something I wouldn't be able to find at my small town cinema. I knew nothing about this before walking in, beyond thinking the title was cute. I love horror, but am neither here nor there about romcoms, but this film was so sweet, charming, touching and funny with just enough genre fare to satisfy my horror love.

All the actors are fantastic, with excellent direction and cinematography. I saw three movies when I was in the city this past weekend, Humanist Vampire was far and away the best of them. I can't wait to watch it again and show my wife. Highly recommended.

I watched this at the 2023 MAMI Mumbai Film Festival because everyone was raving about it and I can see why. The absurd idea of vampires living among ourselves is given a fresh angle in Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person. It centers around a young vampire who is unable to kill to meet her blood-food needs until she finally meets a human hoping to end his life. There's witty humour here, which is bound to make you laugh out loud and also make you think about life in general. Do not expect a groundbreaking plot here because it's a simple story with a weird tone that seems to fit in quite well. I loved how the plot uses its characters to make comedy and that is perhaps the best part. Go for it.

One of the most original vampire love stories I've seen in a while. It's actually a dark comedy but at the same time it's light hearted too! Both the main leads gave a wonderful performance especially Paul as a kid with suicidal tendencies which he showcases in his behavioural style. The chemistry between them is so adorable and Sasha's emotional conflict makes you laugh at times. At the beginning of the movie we sympathise with her and we start to root for her but by the end, we totally flip to 180degrees and we enjoy watching her kill! 😂 This is really a good coming of age vampire movie which I haven't seen before and I highly recommend you to watch it if you're looking for something new!

A delicious blend of horror, comedy, romance & coming-of-age drama that's as endearing as it is life-affirming, Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person is sharp in its humour & sweet in its bite, offers an amusing yet heartfelt look at suicide & depression, and is wonderfully steered by quiet performances & gentle chemistry between its likeable leads.

Co-written & directed by Ariane Louis-Seize in her feature film debut, the story follows a young vampire who's too sensitive to kill until she finds an unlikely solution in a young man with suicidal tendencies. It is a wickedly funny premise that's directed with confidence and establishes the vampiric society among humans with finesse. And the central dilemma only leads to hilarious situations.

The plot hinges on the two soft characters, each broken in their own ways, who discover a new side of themselves through their awkward conversations & strange predicament. And both the actors deliver on that front. Their performance has a gentle touch, melancholic quality & warm tenderness that compels us to invest in them, and they are brilliantly supported by the rest of the cast.

Overall, Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person deftly utilises the vampire motif to present a familiar human world in a new light and addresses its delicate themes with a light-hearted flair. The darkly-lit camerawork, steady pace, splendid music & kind-hearted moments only enrich & elevate the experience, while the elegant direction & earnest execution makes it a fantastic debut feature.
