Mateus Ribeiro I cannot understand the negative reviews. Acting? Photography? Really? Is that your serious concern about this awesome piece of art? This is not a film to watch worried about technique, nor about entertainment. This is a movie to think, to be surprised and intrigued. Its a huge mindf**k puzzle, in an intense and crazy parallel dimension - at the real world. A sci-fi without space ships, just regular persons and regular scenery, through a very not regular story. Do yourself a favor and watch this film without trying to be an egocentric movie critic, but a true fan of art and different angles. Then you can go back to your comfortable "I saw this already" kind of movie. And no, nobody is paying me a penny to review it. Believe me, I work at a quality control enterprise for video-on-demand platforms, I watch all kinds of movies everyday, but this stands out.
ecstatictheatrics I walked out of the theater saying, "That was amazing. Just amazing." My family agreed and we talked about it that night and the next morning, figuring it out, exchanging what we remembered and admiring the creative staging and story telling. I think it was well thought out and the story told well, surprises that I then realized were logical. I thought the acting very good, especially as the actors changed extremely over time. We were still a little confused about the conclusion's explanation, but I think we understood most of the logic -- it helped to have multiple people discussing it and remembering pieces. When the old guys start talking, you need to listen.
Mikael Mzd It's not very often, that one finds such a rare gem hidden among the pile of films that flood the festival circuit, especially one in this specific genre. After his debut with "Nasty Things", a short that surprised audiences all over the globe, Ezban manages to put together a cohesive, tightly packed piece of science fiction cinema, the likes of which we have barely ever seen executed effectively. Not since the 60s and 70s in TV serials such as the Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits, has one found a film that manages to stand and deliver the kicks necessary to make this type of story-line function in all the right ways. The direction is sublime for such a young newcomer, and to my surprise, here, his style works to perfection. It is clear that Ezban is not afraid to shock his audience and go where many don't dare to, which is something that is dearly needed and appreciated in the business. The moody atmosphere is brought together by great cinematography and a simple musical score that in this case, is exactly what is needed to put everything together and make it all work. Overall, to my surprise, the acting is quite decent even among the younger cast. Truly, a great display of creativity. The Incident is a flick that is not to be missed, and I'll be looking forward to Ezban's next production with interest.
Nora San Winner of the most amazingly bizarre and wonderful movie I've ever seen. Since always, the fact of time and how opportunities come and go seemed to be a mystery to me, not the definitions themselves - those are pretty clear- but how we spend them or, rather say, waste them.Like Oliver's brother said, "we spend our lives waiting for the end of the day and another to come so we can end the stage where we are and it will finally get better; but when it comes, we realize that yesterday was much better and that, unfortunately, we can't return it". The Incident has left me with a very good taste, with so many questions but mostly a lot of answers; and with the beating conclusion that the moments are so fleeting that we must enjoy every single one, we don't know from what circumstances are our parallel "I's" coming through – an infinite railway, an endless road or a hall with no last– so we can stay where we're at. Ezban is now one of my favorite persons in the world, I've had the pleasure to see him at the Cabo Film Fest and, what a paradox, I wasted the chance to take a picture with him. Anyways, this film is a representation of the sacrifices you have to do to live life as you've imagined it. Can't wait to see Isaac's future films, this one is from afar a pretty cool full of metaphors movie!
