A very important milestone for Ralph

I've been following Ralph Sepe Jr. (Ralphthemoviemaker) for a while now. He announced his first feature length movie Lover a few years ago, and it would only be a matter of time before it would be completed. The good news is it shows Ralph has potential, and despite still not calling it a good movie, it's an important milestone in showing him improve his craftsmanship. For example, this has the most impressive cinematography shots I've seen from Ralph and the acting for the most part is pretty solid (especially from Victoria Beaudoin) compared to his previous works King Candy and The High. The soundtrack in particular is really effective and carries the emotions that are required to understand each character.Some of my gripes I have with the movie though are that the audio can be a bit inconsistent. Sometimes it was difficult to hear conversations even when I maxed the volume up. Looking back, there were scenes where I'm not sure really made any sense and it felt the movie was being padded out for the sake of hitting the feature length runtime. There were many shots that made me think "What was the purpose of that shot?" and vice versa. The acting as mentioned before is still a little shaky in places. I want to tell Ralph now that he doesn't always have to be in his own movies as the lead. Maybe focusing strictly as both a director and writer would actually boost the quality of his future movies. Yes, I wasn't expecting a masterpiece from him, and yes I am aware Ralph had a very small budget making the entire thing, so shooting it in black and white was actually a great choice rather than colour in this case I think.Overall, Ralph should be proud of himself making this movie. This is the closest I've seen quality wise that actually matches what I expect from a proper movie. His previous works felt very student-filmy and amateur in comparison, but with the increased budget it really impressed me on the first watch. My final rating for Lover is a 5/10, and that is me judging it as a proper movie not a student film.

It was okay

This movie had a lot of good things in it, but also had a lot of bad.I will first talk about the prosPROS I felt the female lead was amazing The cinematography for about 90% of the film was great The audio design besides the first phone call scene was very good The music really helped make each scene more and more powerful The second half was very good even if the ending was a little rushed, but for the most part was thrillingCONS The acting from Ralph at the beginning was not very good The first half of the film before we are introduced to Raymond was very slow and boring The cinematography for 10% of the film was not very good, there were dialogue scenes with so much empty space towards the other side of the shot, it made it feel like someone was going to walk in the shot, but nothing happened. I didn't fully get as engaged with the characters as I was with King Candy The black and white is really overused in these films and I feel on some shots I can't see anything unless I turn my brightness up all the way on my computer. The dialogue sometimes felt very cartoonishOverall the movie had a lot of good and a lot of bad, but I hope Ralph sees this review and improves because I truly believe he is an amazing filmmaker with a bright future. I think maybe his next film needs to be a bit more lighthearted and not be about a guy who goes crazy and starts hurting and killing people. I also think he'd be best served as a supporting character than a lead so he can spend more time on the script and the camera work. Overall a decent start, but at times, I expected more.

Ralphthemoviemaker's Feature Length Debut

Ralph Sepe jr, aka ralphthemoviemaker, is a prolific and unique youtuber known for making movie reviews alongside his own personal film projects. The amount of dedication he has towards his passion is beyond admirable, so much so that one would only wonder if he ever made his own full length feature, which he has. Initially funded through kickstarter in 2015 and made between that year and 2017, Lover is quite possibly the most ambitious project Ralph has ever made. As of now, it has gained a decent reputation online, and I can definitely see why after watching it.The film focuses on a young man named Howard, who meets a beautiful young woman named Christina (Delilah as an alternative). They bond well throughout a whole year, but they eventually realize that their relationship is built on dishonesty. With that said, it's obvious that this film is a character study, and it plays on that angle in a rather creepy manner. The black & white cinematography works well within the disturbingly unpredictable tone. In addition, the usage of social media is shown as a series of motifs. This symbolizes how much personal connection is at a distance these days. That plays a key role in what goes on during the character's lives, and the suspense never fails to keep one at the edge of their seat. In general, every character's cold deceit appropriately paints the film with the right amount of tension and fear needed for a flick like this.What's interesting to note is that Ralph and crew shot the movie over the span of an actual year, fitting with the film's main period. It genuinely feels like time has passed, and any given change that occurs to the characters or setting really looks accurate to our world. The long span keeps us guessing what is happening to the likes of Howard and Christina, as their own lives come off as properly vague to keep the mystery up. The music by Elias Ortega is another nice bonus, as it relies more on chilling atmosphere than shock value. Also, the acting varies depending on each character, but everyone did their best. Whether it'd be charming and subtly charismatic like Ralph as Howard or Victoria Beaudoin as Christina, or scarily subdued like Davinder Singh as Kyle, Carmeron Hallinan as Raymond and Ardit Bufaj as Ardit. Even though everyone worked for free, their hard work really payed off.If I do have any complaints with the film though, it's that I personally found it to be too slow much of the time. I get that's the point, but often the film can become too sluggish for its own good and it would have been nice to pace things a little quicker, though not too much. Also, the moments of dark layers around certain shots can be hit or miss, as some come off as too blurry to be interpreted by the eyes. However, presentation is not as important as sound, and the mixing does have its fair share of flaws. The audio can sound too quiet and muffled to understand what the characters are saying half of the time and even most of the sound effects don't come off as effective as they should have (except for the fight scenes).However, regardless of its issues, I am still very proud for Ralph that he got this pet of his finished. Everyone has said it's easier to make films nowadays than before, and Lover is a pure example of taking that knowledge to a pretty high degree. Sure, the film does feel more like an above average film school project, but as long as the heart is there, then the end product will come out fine either way. If you're a fan of Ralph's content or student films, then definitely give this one a look. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is a nice starting point for even grander things to come in the young filmmaker's future.
