For those interested in independent films, I would recommend Charming Men Part One. It's an effective plot about a woman, Julie, who is searching for her missing sister. A stranger who seems to have information on her disappearance exploits her to give her information, small bits at a time. And Julie gets drawn down a dark spiral, all in order to find her missing sister.
It seems to be a low-budget film; the end-credits informed me that it was shot on Canon 5D. The technical quality is good, both regards to picture and sound. I would specially point out the performances of Mia Maria Hauge Wadsworth (Julie) and Magnus Gudmundson (the stranger). They went all in. Especially I liked the portrait of the antagonist, who lives an ordinary family life at one hand, and on the other hand has a hidden life - much darker and sinister. Also, I would say that Mia Maria Hauge Wadsworth as Julie does a great and intense role. It's a difficult role, and she does it without any vanity at all - which pivotal for this role. And off course - good directing of the actors.
As far as can I see, director Thorkell August Ottarson also serves as Cinematographer and Editor in this film. Well done.
What I liked about the film was that it was never predictable - you never know what happens next. It kept me interested and on the-edge-of-the-seat throughout the movie.
All in all - well done! Recommended!
