Divertimento

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.

I loved the film Divertimento ! This short film is so visually amazing, the suspense was present from the beginning to the end...

At the end, it feels like an immersive and great experience with the contrast between light and dark, the high quality of the images, the musics, the all story and also the global atmosphere !

The places chosen for the film are so beautiful and magic... Also, the characters are deep and fascinating with a lot of complexity in there psychology...

I highly recommend to see this short film, especially for the the high sens of details in every aspect and in each scene.

A film that has the look of a major studio. The cast is of the highest caliber, the location is gorgeous and the story is engaging and compelling. Really great work from a director with a clear vision.

It was an honor to screen this amazing film at the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival. Director / writer Keyvan Sheikhalishahi is extremely talented and I'm positive we will see many more wonderful projects from him! If you get a chance to watch this short film, be sure you do! You won't be disappointed.

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.
