StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

theresefergo-1 I loved this film immensely as it touched me in more than one way. The photography was absolutely magnificent and poetic displaying the beauty of nature so quiet, mysterious, but also dramatic and perhaps a little bit dangerous. LaDon Drummond transported me throughout her journey in this complex ride of memories, love and passion. Her emotions were real and profoundly felt. Natasha Green also brought a strong connection through her free spirit and sensitivity. Johnny Sinclair stole my heart. So young but so determined, alert, intense in his gaze, and simply adorable. The film's spirit and sensitivity made me feel almost as if I was involved with the story. It is certainly a film well worth downloading and keeping in one's collection to be viewed again and again.

danielmcvicar Giorgio Serafini's work is always at a high level. This film is a very personal story, but told with beauty and enough mystery to keep your attention as the journey goes on and story unfolds with its quiet rhythm.LaDon Drummond is lovely, and keeps an understated tension active throughout the film.Little Johnny steals scenes and your heart. Compliments for making such a lovely film on a limited budget that never betrays but satisfies.Can't say too much more, don't wanna spoil it.

genco-sanli The loss of a child is certainly the worst thing that could ever happen to a parent. This film is a very subtle description of what a mother could do, in despair, to lower that pain. Leaving everything behind, facing her own solitude just to live, once again, even for a few days what is unrepairable. "Johnny's Gone" beautifully describes this. Every landscape is about loneliness, light and photography are as simple and naked as it gets, dialogs, if any, are nearly improvised. Music, omnipresent, yet rare, echoes in emptiness....As if every aspect of the film's construction reminded us of the reality of the story, its probability of existence, disturbingly close to us. The fact that Johnny doesn't seem to miss his parents adds a strange serenity between the two, which could only be imaginative, I guess, and reflecting Sarah's mood. Last moments of unspoilt happiness.

ernie-65 I saw this film at the Atlantic City Festival, where it richly deserved to win "Best Drama Feature" for its haunting exposition, deft handling of multiple/absorbing themes (three major, two minor, all nicely intertwined), superb acting, complex structure in a very accessible style, and above all by its totally engaging cinematography and vibrant rendering of all scenes in natural light. And let's not forget that this feature-length film was made for around $100K! That may be the most amazing thing about it. This is world-class cinematic professionalism at its finest! One of the things that makes this film so captivating is less what it shows or tells, but what it holds back. Within each of its several "segments" are moments that are pregnant with multiple concepts and ideas, any one of which could be explored at great length, but which mean so much more in resonance with all of the other segments in the film. It's an epic encapsulated in a sonnet, and the sonnet sings! It raises more questions than it answers, as any mature work of art should. It's a must-see!
