The Lioness

I had no idea what to expect going into this film. After watching the opening credits, it was clear this was a lower budget film. Regardless of the budget, the creator did a great job developing the characters. I liked how the backstories were revealed through flashbacks. And a unique approach was taken to convey the main characters inner monologue. Overall there were some highs with writing and character development. As well as some of those low budget indie film qualities throughout. I look forward to seeing what else this creator puts out.

It's rare for an indie film that has under 60 minutes of runtime to be able to craft an original plot with complex characters. This is genuinely a unique film for that reason alone. By the end of it, I was on the edge of my seat. The performances for some of the characters were excellent, while others were inconsistent. Luckily, the good actors had more of a presence, which lead to an immersive experience. I'm going to be following the director of this movie, because I feel like they have a lot of potential.

I was The Lioness was an entertaining film with intriguing characters and a bucket load of plot twists. Poche shows off his director chops and uses the camera as the audiences' eye into the action. Great movie abt look forward to seeing more of Richard Poche's films.

First keep in mind that this is a indie film with a low budget. There will be some issues with props, lighting, and sound. So I was skeptical going into this movie, but it was pretty good! The time flew by and kept me engaged and entertained. The main character breaks the forth wall several times to talk to us (the audience) which I enjoyed, and is self aware that we are watching. The movie has lots of twist and turns, backstabbing, and lying, which keeps the movie interesting and moving. With a total of 5 characters, they do an overall good job with the story and honestly leave you wanting more. I would recommend!

This self-aware indie film is a great quick watch for fans of suspense and crime dramas. Snappy dialogue and strong acting make it worth watching. The film nods to noir and melodrama conventions, but its fast pace and force-of-nature characters keep viewers guessing until the end.

This film was really innovative! I was really impressed with how they created the feel of a full storyline even with a small cast and minimal setting changes. I really think they did a great job creatively incorporating music as a storytelling mechanism to push the plot along - it definitely kept us intrigued and ready for what was next!
