Retrospekt - SIFF 2019 Movie Review
The Movie: Retrospekt
The Director: Esther Rots
The Cast: Circe Lethem, Martijn van der Veen, Lien Wildemeersch, Teun Luijkx, Rian Gerritsen
The Story: Puzzle-like psychological drama about a domestic violence support worker .
The Review:
From the opening moments, you know exactly what you're going to see at the end of the movie and jumping back and forth through different periods of time did nothing to make the journey less tedious or interesting in any way. Telling a story in a non linear fashion can be a risk and, in this case, it added nothing and provided no build up. I will say that both Circé Lethem as Mette and Lien Wildemeersch as Lee Miller were pretty fantastic in their respective roles and their performances were pretty much the only thing that kept me in my seat.

Deadtectives - SIFF 2019 Capsule Review
The Movie: Deadtectives
The Director: Tony West
The Cast: Chris Geere, Martha Higareda, Tina Ivlev, David Newman, José María de Tavira
The Story: Fake paranormal investigators run into real paranormal activity.
The Review:
What a debut feature for writer/director Tony Smith! This movie is so much fun and, while the focus is on the non stop barrage of comedic hi-jinks, there are several genuine scares thrown in to keep you on the edge of your seat. This may look like a Ghostbusters knockoff but the Deadtectives hold their own with a super fun, fast paced, and irresistibly creative origin story.
