    Aesthetically pleasing to the eye

    I know this movie has been out for a few years, but if you still haven't seen it yet, DO IT. Michael Eklund portrays Eadweard in an amazing way, even though we didn't know much about Eadweard himself, mostly his work. So here he got a chance to improvise a bit on how to portray Mr. Muybridge.

    The movie is also very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The close-ups, the lighting. You appreciate every little detail in it. Every time I've watched this movie, I have catched myself pausing the video and just looking at the screen. It's a beautifully made film.

    Sara Canning, who played his wife, was also an amazing choice. These two have a beautiful and great chemistry between eachother, and it shows on camera.

    A fascinating look at the man who started it all

    I already knew a fair bit about Eadweard Muybridge before I went into this movie and I don't know whether or not that may have given me a slight bias, but this movie was incredible. The film revolves around Eadweard Muybridge (as the title would suggest) the incredibly eccentric "father" of cinema who or more less invented motion pictures. The story was incredibly interesting (to me anyway), seeing them reenact these immortal moments in much the same way that Eadweard would have done was amazing and the story involving the relationship between Eadweard and his wife was also incredibly well done. The film does have a few pacing issues at the beginning, showing us five years of Eadweard's life in as many minutes was fairly jarring but after that, it flowed at a consistent pace. The acting was fairly good for the most part (the worst performance coming from a woman who seemed to be Irish-Australian?) but the show-stealing performance thankfully comes from our lead star, Michael Eklund. The only other thing I've seen Eklund in is Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and despite not having a large role in it he's very entertaining to watch. I only wish he had more to do in that show because he was phenomenal in this movie. He felt so much like a real person, putting so much effort into making the eccentricities of the character feel realistic. My personal favourite thing about the film was the soundtrack. An interesting use of accordion, washboard, violin and vibraphone gives the entire film a unique feel. The film is a tribute to the man who started it all and I wish more people were aware of it as it deserves much more praise than it's been getting… especially Michael Eklund who was really, really good.

    Beatiful

    Watched it three times over the years. It's pleasant in a different way each time. Loved the close-up scenes, as well as how well I could hear every little movement. Don't care how historically correct this is.

    A-holes Aren't That Interesting

    Kyle Rideout deserves applause. Not many directors can con investors & distributors out of millions of dollars based on a script with zero sympathetic characters and absolutely no character development. Anybody who can't generate audience interest with a naked Jodi Balfour, Sara Canning & Vanessa Walsh should be banished from narrative storytelling. This film plays like a music video of "Taps." He should be paying you to watch this travesty.

    • Trivia
      Eadweard Muybridge was born Edward James Muggeridge. He began using the last name Muybridge in 1865 and the old English spelling, Eadweard, of his first name in 1882. He also used the pseudonym Helios for some of his early photography.
    • Goofs
      The movie places the murder committed by Muybridge during his time doing motion studies, which occurred in the 1880s and early 1890s in Philadelphia. The murder actually occurred in 1874 in Calistoga, California and his trial took place in 1875, both years before the motion studies.
