Esme, My Love

This quiet film manages to create an air of suspense through a mixture of great acting and masterful editing combined with an eerily beautiful score, setting and sound. The result is an intriguing tale of mother/daughter relationships and the strange turns love can take. This slow-burn film may not be to everyone's taste, but I' d urge you to give it a chance.

Beautifully photographed film! The scenes were begun and ended very well by visuals that immerse the viewer in the world of the film. Also, I liked the way the Cinematographer racked focus to obtain an artful, immersive effect and to move the story of the film.

Performances were very involving! The Actors created great tension between their characters when it was necessary to do so. Stacey Weckstein was alternately affectionate and threatening as the mother, and very convincing both ways! Audrey Grace Marshall was amazing! How do you get a very young actress like that to perform so convincingly?

The Writing was outstanding! This is the type of film that could easily have become monotonous, but the writer made the courageous choice to raise the stakes by something the mom does mid-way through the film. I won't spoil it.

The Director took the time, and made the careful choices, to create the world of the film. And the actors were obviously well-instructed. Good film!

I don't watch many movies all the way through anymore, but I got hooked on this one. It really held my interest. A real slow burn. Creepy like M Night Shyamalan. Beautiful photography and great music. I really loved it.

This is really a unique thriller because it keeps you guessing/thinking the whole time and buzzing for days afterwards breaking it all down. It's truly thrilling.

The cinematography, directing and score are all absolutely beautiful and engrossing. Overall, a unique film that I strongly recommend.

Esme, My Love, a slow burn thriller punctuated by an engrossing musical score. The quiet rural setting provided stark contrast to the mysterious events developing in the woods within. The landscapes and woods were beautifully captured by the outstanding cinematography.
