Kensho at the Bedfellow

This movie is a stunning vision by a masterful filmmaker. The animated sequences are incredible too. I like films that follow life and offer deeper meaning and details within life like the movie Mr. Nobody. If you want to be taken on a journey this movie could be for you!

I was very pleasantly surprised by how well the film was shot. But most of all I was really happy to be pulled into the wonderful, stylized performance by Brad Raider. He was at times flippant like a live action Archer from the comedy series and at other times charming and sincere. Raider's screen presence was unique and really holds the film together. Part Kafka and part Pinter and part Bunuel the script moves well and it's beautifully directed and filmed but it's Raider I find so interesting to watch. Genuine unique energy and look and presence. The film dialogue is surreal at times but completely correct in context of the reality and sincere look it's taking into the life of Raider's charming but disaffected doorman. Overall, it's a well acted, well made film that is the reason independent film is important and Raider is a great unique voice.

It's very professional and well worth a look now.

I can honestly say Kensho affected me in ways that will resonate for a long time. What does the nature of the Universe have to do with our inner life? How can we rise beyond loss to fulfill our life purpose? I've been wrestling with these ideas for years and have found that the best kinds of art examine the human condition in ways that are unique and profound and completely catch us off guard. Raider's film and his exceptional performance does that beautifully and has inspired me to see my place in the world as truly vital again.

This is such a terrific film. I completely enjoyed it. The acting was spot on throughout the film. I loved the characters. They were all very good. This is a solid story with an engaging pace that the Director establishes early on in the film. There were no flat spots for me with this indie gem of a film. This is a good example why for many of us we enjoy watching indie films. Well the obvious here for me, is a thumbs up for this film. Bravo folks!! Well done!!

Kensho at the Bedfellow is a really interesting indie film. I was intrigued at first when I saw the film festival laurels (apparently it has won a few awards on the festival circuit) and ultimately won over after watching the trailer. The film might sound familiar on the surface -- a doorman dealing with the death of a sister -- but Kensho at the Bedfellow is remarkably creative and a unique visual experience. You really have to watch it to understand. The film is described as "micro-budget," but you wouldn't know that from watching the film. In fact, many scenes are visual standouts, perhaps aided by the perfect New York scenery. Kensho at the Bedfellow is definitely a film worth watching.
