This movie is unlike Hollywood films. This film keeps you guessing on what happens next and odds are, you're probably not right with your guess. I saw this because I have a friend that had a supporting part and wanted to show my support. I do not regret going to see this film. It brings to light issues that we see today in our culture and society through the eyes of two girls growing up. Please note: this movie is not suitable for young children or those faint of heart. I'd love to see this movie take off and become the next big indie film.

The film uses Christian symbols, quotes (Bible), and various references to God, while exposing human hypocrisy, lies, and the "dark" around us. It's a story about two sisters (black girl and white girl), growing up in Cleveland, surrounded by violence, hatred, crime, drugs, and poverty. Thanks to some good (Christian) people, the girls grow up to be semi-normal (one clearly suffers from an unknown psychological disorder, while the other one has issues on her own). This provocative drama could be labeled as "Christian film with an edge"; the edge being: uncensored language that breaks PC (political correctness) as we know it. I see some people turning off their TVs or leaving the theater, because those N-words or F-words might be too much to handle. All in all, I find this to be an interesting movie; one that I wouldn't recommend to an average movie buff (it ain't no "Wizard of Oz" or "Fast and Furious"). It's a movie that requires some thinking… a lot of THINKING.

Thanks to being part of test-screening audience, I was able to view this picture last week. Being familiar with film director's previous work, I expected non-traditional cinematography and an artsy approach to staging. And I found it in "Lux in Tenebris"! Aside from slight audio-visual imperfections, this super-micro budget film delivers unconventional writing, strong directing, and very good assembly of images and sounds. The story is weird (in a way), but that's what makes it interesting. The characters and their interactions are - very strange, but it works. The music score is very entertaining, and contains everything from Mozart to funk and metal. If you appreciate the works of Lynch, Jarmusch, Ethan and Joel Coen, as well as some European artists - take a look at "Lux in Tenebris". And, for all of you who admire Eric Roberts: he's in it and he's cool!
