Don't miss this classy, smart psychological thriller. From the casting (Kellan Lutz, Brittany Gonzalas, Gotz Otto) to the gorgeous set to the unique mysterious plot-this is a fantastic short from Keyvan Sheik. I was thrilled to interview him for the Black Hills Film Festival. His eye and discernment are marking him for major success in directing.
This short is amazing, it's super intense and captivating. The scenario is also very good and well thought. But one of the biggest strength of this film is for me is his staging, all these shots in this big mansion are magnificent, the effects are mastered to perfection, in short, a very cool short.
An impressive short like you've probably never seen. Kellan Lutz teams up with Torrey DeVitto in a mysterious, dangerous game, and faces some tenacious competitors. But this game is much more than what it seems, hiding several secrets... as the narrator announces it at the beginning, in a very cold way.
The story is very ambitious, dealing with several topics and timelines (not only time but also reality) in a short time, which all make one single huge story. It's beautifully made, with a beautiful game of lights, and great music. There are film noir vibes in the castle which makes it stunning.
A must-watch short with a big production scale -- there is a thrilling central fight/shootout corridor scene, with two different connected timelines impactful to each other. This single scene alone is really crazy! The film can make you "remember" a Hitchcock film tone and more recently Fincher or Nolan.

It doesn't feel like an indie movie, yet it's indie. It doesn't have all the tropes of a blockbuster, yet it feels like a blockbuster. It's not a short film, but not a feature either. Well, it's 'Divertimento' and it's crazy and massive and you should watch it, 'cause there is something here... very special.
Loved how the story is intellectual, and makes the moviegoer clearly work, and think, to bring it all together. Filled with plot twists and turns, it takes you on a psychological roller coaster ride from start to finish. Several questions are raised throughout and you think you know what's happening, what's true or false, until the end, which gives an answer to all the questions and is totally unexpected. But the movie is also pure entertainment, with a beautiful location, a mysterious mood and a brilliant cast. Not to forget the tension and the action, very creative.
A surprising film which doesn't let you indifferent. What you feel at the end is that this film is special, probably a masterpiece.
