Light from Light

You'll know the moment.

A surprising and powerful moment in an otherwise still, and subtle film.

Beautifully filmed. Delicately written, directed, and performed with, I feel compelled to say, respect. Not burdened by a need for conclusions.

I guess this film is just not meant for me. While the filming is great and I thought the actors were decent, there just wasn't enough going on here to hold my attention. It is painfully slow and nothing really happens.

There's no suspense. No excitement and I don't really get the point. It was just boring.

I can't say I enjoyed this one as much the previous film directed by Paul Harrell "Something, Anything", but it was enjoyable, engaging, and interesting. Am happy to see the relatively high Metacritic score though. Maybe I need to revisit this one!

Shelia (Marin Ireland) thinks that she has supernatural clairvoyant powers. She's a single mom. Her son Owen's classmate Lucy has a crush him. Shelia gets a request from Richard (Jim Gaffigan) who thinks his farmhouse is haunted by his late wife.

It's a slow, quiet paranormal movie and at some point, I stop trying to care. It has a good moodiness and Ireland is a great lesser-known actress. This only has one great scene with Owen & Lucy and that scene could have been filmed better. It is deliberately low-key that it refuses to heighten the intensity with its most intense scene.

A paranormal investigator (Marin Ireland) researches a home where a widowed husband (Jim Gaffigan) experiences paranormal activity after his wife passes away in a plane crash.

Light from Light is a film that is very slow paced but in a calm relaxing way. The calming music in specific scenes gives the film mystery throughout the film. The characters deep conversations about life gives the feel/tone of the film a more realistic and natural approach. Light from Light is a melodic mystery on the feelings we experience from paranormal activity.

Light from Light is a recommend film to watch. Overall a slow paced, thoughtful film with impressive performances from Marin Ireland and Jim Gaffigan.
