Description

Told from three points-of-view, SCALENE is a perceptual thriller that revolves around a mother's revenge (Margo Martindale - Emmy Winner F/X's JUSTIFIED, Showtime's DEXTER, MILLION DOLLAR BABY) after her mentally-challenged son (Adam Scarimbolo - A GUIDE TO RECOGNIZING YOUR SAINTS, STAKE LAND) is accused of a sexual assault by his student caretaker (Hanna Hall - FORREST GUMP, Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN, THE VIRGIN SUICIDES). This critically-acclaimed independent film has been applauded for its strong performances, gripping storyline, and unique structure that takes audiences on a movie-watching experience they have never had before.

    Honestly the climax is a bit unexpected but only because it makes no sense.. i gave it an extra 2 stars because the acting is somewhat decent and the structure was very unique. i probably wouldnt recommend it though..

    So badly written that it's unwatchable. I will never get those 100 minutes of my life back, they were completely wasted. Filled with pointless scenes and dialogues, unrealistic and inconsistent characters, cheesey attempts at depth with stupid spinning cameras, and a bafflingly bad story. In addition, the acting was atrocious. Save your money and your time.

    All three leads do a great job, and the way their stories are shown is inspiring. It makes you think about how each character perceives reality in their own unique way and as a viewer you are allowed to see the result of their stories and perceptions intersecting to an unexpected result/end.

    Don't do it. Some of the worst acting I've seen in a long time. Margo is always good and the boy who plays the male lead is convincing, but everyone else and the script are so bad that it's just excruciating to watch.

    Saw this during its festival run. It's a film that brings back what movies used to be about; story, performances, cinematography and directing. A superb example of independent film giving the big boys a run for their money.
