“I will find him…”

Vincent is an upcoming indie Nordic mystery-drama film starring Mikkel Vadsholt, Herman Knop, and Joachim Knop. It runs for approximately an hour and twenty minutes.

A bullied teenager forms an unlikely friendship with a strange Ice Cream Man from out of town, who may possess a few supernatural secrets.

Here is the trailer:

Vincent is far from your average watch, giving the audience plenty of emotional and relatable moments with an intriguing mystery beneath the surface. Does it do enough to earn a watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Gorgeous cinematography.

This film was beautifully shot. The use of lighting felt so natural. I honestly expected something lacking in this department, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well executed this was, elevating the quality of this film that much more. Most impressive!

Highlights an unlikely friendship that is beyond moving.

I didn’t think I would get so attached to two characters, but I was nearly in tears at the end of this film. The friendship was unconventional and definitely strange, but there were a lot of life lessons built into this film. The two leads put their hearts into this one and it showed in the best way possible.

The Cons:

Dabbles with several different genres.

I don’t really mind when films do this, but I guess I was initially unsure of this one’s intention. I didn’t know if this was supposed to be a coming-of-age story or some kind of supernatural mystery. Looking back at it now, I’m not sure that it matters because it was a beautiful and strange story, but it’s difficult to pinpoint what genre it truly belongs to.

I also had a few unanswered questions by the time I got to the end, but this wasn’t a major con because it added to the overall mystery of the film.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!

An emotional and unconventional film that truly captivated me from start to finish!

This film was really unique and it reminded me why I love cinema so much.

A VACATION TO DIE FOR…

When sisters, Nina and Gemma are vacationing in Hawaii with their friends, they get invited to an exclusive party on a private island that seems too good to be true. There’s only one rule…they can’t miss their ferry at midnight or they’ll have to wait until morning to leave the island. Only they didn’t realize that breaking this rule meant they would be hunted down on the island one by one.

Who will make it off the island alive?

I hope you enjoy my new island thriller!
