    Beautiful life

    The movie is interesting and full with a lot of surprises. Everyone has to watch it 👌 Best casting of the actors. Amazing combination of scenes around Bulgaria, England and LA What is your side of the story? Good, bad, devil, angel. Who are you?

    All this questions come around.

    "The Wheels of Heaven" is a coming-of-age fantasy thriller directed by Ben Charles Edwards, featuring Academy Award nominee Mickey Rourke. The narrative centers on Iva, a rebellious young girl who encounters a mysterious, charismatic boy claiming to be the fallen angel Lucifer, sent to guide her through significant existential challenges. This relationship empowers Iva to confront her problems and discover her path in life. The film delves into themes of good versus evil, inspired by Mark Twain's "The Mysterious Stranger," and was shot across various locations in Bulgaria, Los Angeles, and London. The cast includes Mickey Rourke, Gary Stretch, Dessy Tenekedjieva, Geoff Bell, Eleonora Ivanova, and Dimitar Nikolov, with special appearances by Nicky Whelan and Lee Ryan. The movie premiered on December 27, 2024, at the Capri Hollywood International Film Festival.

    Salad

    An extremely pointless and poorly made film. In fact, this is not a film with a plot, but just some kind of salad. The main actress and screenwriter show their life and try to make a film out of it, but the audience has no need to watch the works of sick minds who publicly claim that they need to be treated in mental clinics. There is a difference between real art and the products of sick minds, after all! It is obvious how this salad had a low budget and towards the end of the mixing, there is a meager stupid idea that extremely ugly turns into a finale showing the brutalisms of deeply confused people. In reality, this is a project that has very badly spent a lot of money on yet another neoliberal satanic advertisement.

    Ugly and bad

    This film is very alwull and ugly. There is a critical joke with our relegion! Can you someone tell me why the sacral simbol for Middle Aged Bulgaria was turned back? This production show all bad things and there is nothing good in the film! Those all bad things and violence feel worse to our human souls! And i think that the turned cross is a veri big sin! If you see when the film was shown in the first time iUSA were fall of disturb! It's true that the live is not always pretty and smile, but why in this film is so many violence and ugly bad things? I think that my explanation is trully with many evidence!

    Interesting, unexpected

    It could be a story for love, for agression, for lies, for the dark side of the human being and the bright side as well. Mickey Rourke's presence is impressive! His talent reigns over the whole story! Yong actors and Dessy Tenekedjieva and Gary Strech are very good in their acting. Their characters are lost in the middle of nowhere of their own life. The story is interesting, full of unexpected twist and turns. There are two faces of devil - a young man and priest and two faces of the angel - a young woman and her deaf mother. And the end is a surprise. It is a different film. Chocking but interesting to be seen.

    Great film!

    Complex Characters: The devil is often portrayed as a morally ambiguous character, which can make them fascinating to watch. You might enjoy the complexity and duality of these characters-whether they're sinister or charming, they often have depth that makes them interesting.

    Exploration of Good vs. Evil: These films often play with the classic theme of good versus evil, making you think about morality, temptation, and the choices we make. It can be engaging to see characters struggle with these larger-than-life concepts.

    Thrills and Suspense: Many films with the devil include horror or supernatural elements, which can create a sense of tension, suspense, and excitement. The unpredictability of the devil's actions keeps things thrilling.
