Strings (2011)

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It was surprisingly well done.......Great Cast and acting along with obviously great direction.............and producing......and editing. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie! One of the best independent films I have had the pleasure of viewing! I expect to see this movie in the Theaters soon.......Congrats to all involved! Thanks for the great experience! Geez I cannot believe that this site requires you to write 10 lines for a review.....that is ridiculous......well .....here it goes...... I was so impressed with the movie that I wanted my son to view it also. He is quite the actor.......and I wanted him to see what a great independent film consisted of. This is honestly one of the best Independent Films I have viewed. I was very impressed!... Also, because my boyfriend.....Hector Luna is in the film industry i have the opportunity to view many different films! So, this film ranks at the top! Good luck with moving forward..............

I had the privilege of screening Strings as a volunteer at the Tulsa Film Festival earlier this year. I was absolutely blown away by every aspect of the film. The overall quality, writing, direction, acting and location selection were as good as any big budget Hollywood film. I was particularly impressed by the acting. Every cast member portrayed the emotion and depth of their character very well. The young actors were especially brilliant in their performances. Getting to hear the story of how Strings was made after the screening revealed what an amazing project the directors put together on an unbelievably small budget. I have become a big fan of Strings and hope to see it again very soon in wide release.

I attended a screening in San Antonio at the suggestion of a friend. I was quite impressed with the quality of the picture and acting. I did not expect to see such quality in an indie film. The movie has several intense story lines. They all just draw you into and keep your interest. The actors are spot on! You just about hear what the others in the audience are thinking throughout. I also loved the little pieces of humor. The little girl in Strings is a total delight! It would be nice to see her in other things. I am glad my friend suggested this and can't wait to see how far the Directors go in their career. It was well worth every minute.

I saw this stunning film at the Breckenridge Film Festival, where it garnered well-deserved praise and awards.The story involves choices... and consequences. Each step taken by the main character leads him further into a world he (and we) don't understand. Gorgeous cinematography and deft editing seduce us into his dark reality. Clarity comes in lightening flashes. Directors Ben Foster and Mark Dennis attack an intriguing "what if" scenario with jaw-dropping originality.The visually arresting wild ride is enhanced by outstanding music. (The Breckenridge Festival jury was sufficiently impressed by Billy Harvey's song, "Greatest Escape", to create a special award in its honor). I'm looking forward to a wider release of "Strings", because I can't wait to tell people: go see it!
