Watch Piercing Brightness For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

Captivating movie !

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

This is not a like in any way shape of form, except, and this is a small conceit to give a nod to the quality of the actual film work. That said this is not something that you can watch with even the slightest distractions, or you will be so lost. The acting is silly, the story is inexplicable, and if you thought that The Tree of Life was a boring movie, then good luck getting through the first 5 minutes of this. The camera distortions, and the vertical hold "glitches" are so 1962. There is not one shining star in this film as far as the actors go either sadly. I did watch the whole thing, and I paid close attention, I get what happened, and it seemed to be for the best for them, I get that. I just don't think this was a very good movie to watch. My eyes were attacked with bad cutaways, and strange little still lives that made no sense since these folks have only been on earth around 60 years, then how were those times before them significant? Well suffice it to say I did not Enjoy this film, and do not recommend it to anyone. Well if you know one of those flakes that will believe what ever they are told, then they may just be enthralled by the pretty Brightness.

This is not a film for everybody. Closest to something like Liquid Sky it is a willfully bizarre low budget sci-fi film that owes more to experimental film-art than Spielberg-esque fantasy. Not an easy watch but rewarding and strangely memorable even if half of the time you have no idea what is going on. Funny in places, mesmeric in others, as if a British soap opera had been re-created by some alien species using only the synopsis from TV listing magazines. Bold and unapologetically bonkers. It also has a superb psychedelic soundtrack from Acid Mothers Temple. It is the sort of film that was more commonly made in the 1960s and 1970s when film makers cared more about their own vision rather than that of any potential audience.

OMG what a load of senseless piece of British junk. After 20 minutes of this rubbish I had a choice of either committing suicide or stop watching. Well I am still alive. So bad I was on the verge of saying when will it get a bit better. Never. I would love to take the director and producer and the moron who came out with crap to court and sue them for destroying my mind with this badly acted slow and boring senseless movie. Movie? Sorry i should say mind insulting piece of …. Anyone acting in this film must so desperate for work. Please do not waste your time or money on this. If this was my DVD I would have broken it in half. Take my advice and give this a very very wide birth.

#1 A Movie should have a Plot That Actually Makes Sense Right. Two aliens land on earth to collect a team that had been sent down long ago to study and watch us. I get that. Some of the team has gone "native" and doesn't want to go back I get that too. But why were they all sent to London? We don't know. Why don't they want to go back? We don't really know? Why are they all being forced back? Don't know. Why can some remember who they were and some can't? Ibid. WTF is going on with the alien support group??? Don't even get me started. Why did the alien's daughter dissolve? What was up with her face??? Why WHY WHY ???? #2 A movie should not conflate style with substance (aka "A Movie is not a Perfume Commercial") That's right - a perfume commercial. In the middle of the far too sparse dialog there appears throughout the movie sudden shifts in imagery with a musical score tuning you in that something significant is being shown. Except it's not. What was the significance of the Japanese lady who's face is half formed out of pebbles( or something) that keeps popping up? Why was there an image of a turkey's head which kept popping up throughout the movie? At least I think it was a turkey. It might have been a vulture. Or maybe a turkey vulture - I Just Don't KNOW ! Why Shezad Dawood ? Why are you showing me this image. Surely it must mean something? It doesn't. It doesn't mean anything at all. It's just there. Damn you turkey-vulture! You mean nothing to me ! #3 A Chase Scene With Bicycles Chasing Down A Car Is Not Unique - Merely Inane There is a car chase scene. The car is being chased by alien-hybrid kids on bicycles. That's right - on bicycles. Not even racing bicycles but the kind of high-riser your little sister might have. I'm pretty sure that I saw tassels. I think the chase scene lasts a good ten minutes. One of the characters actually says (anxiously) , "They're getting closer!" Ten minutes. I can say no more.I could go on but I don't have the heart. I'm pretty sure there were some scenes meant to have comedic value. An alien goes into a bar and gets drunk ... ha ha. Such scenes fell flat. This is they type of movie that some people are going to be afraid to critique properly because it seems somehow avant-garde and they perhaps might be afraid of being outed for an idiot but I am here to tell you that the turkey-vulture has no clothes and that this movie is a piercing waste of one's time.
