valentina-twosheds The film is impressive: as all films that rely on great writing and acting, you are thrilled that your attention is constantly captivated. Human nature is displayed without explaining the obvious. Shots great and you are prepared for an ending you know is not going to be linear. And yet, some inconsistencies remain and are all rushed in all together at the end. Difficult to say without spoilering, but there is one story arch that leaves you puzzled despite the slightly overlong explanation provided, and combined with the rushed through shots of other resolutions it kind of defeats the explanation provided, which would have been otherwise fit just right and been perfectly satisfying. As a film that remains with you well after you've watched, it definitely deserves watching. Fantastic acting and great direction otherwise.

Mikael Mzd It's not very often, that one finds such a rare gem hidden among the pile of films that flood the festival circuit, especially one in this specific genre. After his debut with "Nasty Things", a short that surprised audiences all over the globe, Ezban manages to put together a cohesive, tightly packed piece of science fiction cinema, the likes of which we have barely ever seen executed effectively. Not since the 60s and 70s in TV serials such as the Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits, has one found a film that manages to stand and deliver the kicks necessary to make this type of story-line function in all the right ways. The direction is sublime for such a young newcomer, and to my surprise, here, his style works to perfection. It is clear that Ezban is not afraid to shock his audience and go where many don't dare to, which is something that is dearly needed and appreciated in the business. The moody atmosphere is brought together by great cinematography and a simple musical score that in this case, is exactly what is needed to put everything together and make it all work. Overall, to my surprise, the acting is quite decent even among the younger cast. Truly, a great display of creativity. The Incident is a flick that is not to be missed, and I'll be looking forward to Ezban's next production with interest.

Nora San Winner of the most amazingly bizarre and wonderful movie I've ever seen. Since always, the fact of time and how opportunities come and go seemed to be a mystery to me, not the definitions themselves - those are pretty clear- but how we spend them or, rather say, waste them.Like Oliver's brother said, "we spend our lives waiting for the end of the day and another to come so we can end the stage where we are and it will finally get better; but when it comes, we realize that yesterday was much better and that, unfortunately, we can't return it". The Incident has left me with a very good taste, with so many questions but mostly a lot of answers; and with the beating conclusion that the moments are so fleeting that we must enjoy every single one, we don't know from what circumstances are our parallel "I's" coming through – an infinite railway, an endless road or a hall with no last– so we can stay where we're at. Ezban is now one of my favorite persons in the world, I've had the pleasure to see him at the Cabo Film Fest and, what a paradox, I wasted the chance to take a picture with him. Anyways, this film is a representation of the sacrifices you have to do to live life as you've imagined it. Can't wait to see Isaac's future films, this one is from afar a pretty cool full of metaphors movie!

daniwladis Upon his debut, Isaac Ezban's magnum opus "The Incident", dares to reveal the fearful mental machinery in which we find ourselves trapped in each and every one of the stages of life. Its almost as if, with absolutely no control, a supernatural force would require to produce energy by means of a factory of repetitive patterns, that provides for movement in our actual life, and where the only way out is to keep going..."The Incident" outlines the possibilities we are constantly provided, to chose whether or not to make use of the resources that such factory provides for us, in order to achieve more enabling stories that reflect a better energy for real life, and therefore better life stories, notwithstanding the fact that there will always remain limits to creation, to old age...Brilliant, challenging, crude, creative, and with sound imagery that is perfectly aligned with the emotional experience generated by the story behind "The Incident", reminding us of the inevitable returns of who we really are, and the challenging yet intoxicating temptation to change...I highly recommend it!!
