Mark Webber, Nicole Elizabeth Berger, and Bodhi Palmer in The Place of No Words (2019)

"Where do we go when we die?" A question by 3-year-old Bodhi Palmer sets a real family on an imaginative adventure that explores how we cope with dying and the love, laughter, and pain we can find within it. Bodhi starring alongside his actual mother and father (Mark Webber and Teresa Palmer) and the fairy Esmeralda, played by Berger, give rare tour-de-force performances. Told through both the eyes of a father and his young son the story moves between the authentic real world and a fantasy realm filled with mythical creatures and remarkable circumstances.

Moving

Very unusual film that at first I thought might be too 'New Age' but turned out to be a moving, gentle and philosophical representation of a loving family (as it happens, played by a real-life mother, father and child) coping with impending death. 5-year-old Bhodi (character name and real name) is an entrancing actor, and I just found the whole film to be very calming. It deals with impending death without become maudlin or self-pitying and is a great antidote to the wham-bam trash that pass themselves off as films nowadays.

Free Spirit

It is a beautiful deep philosophical movie about the acceptance of the death by child imagination. It's a simple fairy tale about internal adventure behind our fears through love

Watch if you are parents

For whom don't have kids, you won't enjoy. I feel it's no where forward but backward of this movie. It's unique kind is true but just don't enjoy.

Not for me

The scenery is really beautiful, but the film does not make sense at all. I don't know what those monsters and robots are doing int he film. The non linear timeline does not help either. I had to try super hard to stay awake.

Could've been better

Let me start off by saying, I'm a huge indie fan and especially love Mark Webber's movies. I've watched the Ever after a ton of times. I was really excited for this movie and couldn't wait but with that being said, it's not his best. I was really saddened that while it had a great premise, cast (obviously lol), and scenery, the execution fell short. It was very slow and disjointed. I feel it could've ran smoother and been pieced together better. I had a hard time getting engrossed and often found myself getting easily distracted because it was dragging. I hope to see more from them but this wasn't the best.
