Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Truly terrible. Awful. There is not one aspect of this film that could possibly be interpreted or perceived as impressive or entertaining. Plot is mindless. The first half of the film is so incredibly boring and the second half of the film is impossibly stupid. Simply makes no sense whatsoever. You're forced to endure 30 minutes of screen bending and inverted shots of various cityscapes just waiting for it to end. So disjointed and haphazard. Movie goes into a complete meltdown towards the end when the worlds we're supposed to be watching collapse and then it's just scene after scene, random sequence after random sequence of this guy hitting into walls and trying to break free from the screen. Utterly ridiculous. Tells no story; provides no useful takeaways; nothing insightful or interesting. Just absolutely nothing - complete waste of time. Everyone involved or connected to this title should be embarrassed and ashamed for releasing this into the world. Catastrophic filmmaking - should be banned.

I was hooked on Jamin and Kiowa Winans' work after watching INK which remains my absolute favorite movie...period! The Frame is close though...so many sureal moments shared with INK...intelligent,thought provoking,moving, stunning visuals and solid acting by a talented cast. I find myself sometimes wondering what Jamin and Kiowa would achieve with a large studio budget...but it would be remarkable indeed if they were to exceed what are works of excellence on the low budgets they had. These movies and their short films in my opinion firmly place these extraordinarily talented filmmakers at the absolute top of their profession. I have seen NO other films that come within a country mile of these folks work..My admiration for what they have achieved is total. I bought the download of this as soon as it was available from their website years ago but due to working abroad I had forgotten about it on my home computer. Tonight i found it, watched it and was spellbound. Just sublime. I look forward to more by these amazing filmmakers. There are many 'Hollywood' directors out there that could learn a lot by watching Jamins' direction..

I accidentally bumped into this movie so I gave it a try. What a waste of time!This movie was single-handedly written and directed by a failed writer/director by the name of Jamin Winans.. He's made several films and not one's been a success of any kind.This movie is like following the life of somebody with severe schizoaffective disorder, a.k.a. schizophrenia with depression.The movie was depressive and overly sentimental and dramatic.The acting was poor.The "low budget" showed throughout the entire film.Very slow and boring overall. It was nonsense from start to finish.If you're into nonsensical delusions and hallucinations (schizophrenia) and depression, then this movie is for you.

This film has much going for it. The characters and actors are quite good. The concept and effects are generally good. The way the characters respond to their absurd situation is mostly believable.{ start of spoilers }Towards the end the movie gets confused, loses its plot, and drags on a bit. Finally some sub par visual effect provide a deus ex machina to put him back into the room and give a happy ending that makes little sense at all. So the ending could certainly have been better.In many ways this film reeks with common Christian misapprehensions; an obsession with the notion of freewill, a weird paranoia against psychologists, a false dichotomy between God or meaningless chaos, problems of evil and suffering framed in a solipsistic manner, characters who are clearly wracked by guilt, repeated themes of childhood trauma, anxiety over the matter of ones death, and some vague idea that brokenness, surrender, and playing violin can be the way out or forward from all of this chaos.Most specifically, hysteria over the incompatibility of a script written by God and the concept of freewill is handled in a manner that is philosophically shallow at best, and incoherent or laughable in some instances. This is most clear in a scene where the male protagonist draws a frame on a piece of paper and pierces it with a pen. The character proceeds to enact that plan in a manner so literal that it is comical, apart from the fact that it could have been a suicide and that is so completely out of character for him.{ end of spoilers }So this film is quite preachy, although that does not become apparent towards the later half of the film, and it really tries not to be. I think it is okay for a film to be preachy, what I find it more irritating when they try to be subtle about it. Clearly the filmmakers are trying to communicate something, but in the end it is not clear what they wanted to say or even if they knew what they wanted to say.There is a lot to like here, and regardless of the conclusion or lack thereof the journey itself is worth it. I think it could have been better if its dealings with theology had been more coherent or removed entirely.
