Kensho at the Bedfellow

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.

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!

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!!

This is a terrific movie with a classic Dickens esque transformation at it's core. I guess it's easy for some to be cynical about transformations like that. But I've seen them happen in life. And I was truly moved by it. The story is told with some impressive visuals that really pulled me into the movie. It's an indie but one that's really well done. A very engaging film.

I was both moved and entertained by this film's existential exploration, one man's search for purpose after the death of a loved one. Writer/director Brad Raider impresses in both crafts, delivering a smart, compelling, relatable story and bringing to life a charming, clever protagonist earning our empathy and endearment. The characters around him are interesting, and the dialogue he has with them is clever and witty. But the real strength of the film is in it's ability to ask the tough life questions and offer hope, meaning and redemption.
