Review of Whelm

Whelm (2019)
10/10
Unique Cinematic Storytelling
6 April 2022
I saw Whelm at a 35mm Roadshow screening in Beverly Hills last year and was completely blown away to learn that this is Skyler Lawson's first movie! Wow. The cinematography and music are incredible. The performances are top notch too! Delil Baran is definitely an actor to look out for! Super intense. The narrative gets a bit out there at times, and takes some big wings, but thats honestly what I loved about it. You couldn't predict what was gonna happen and that was refreshing.

The whole team did a Q/A after the movie and it was very inspiring as a young filmmaker myself. The director and cinematographer even took the time to talk to me in the lobby after the screening. They definitely made a unique movie that swings for the fences on almost every level. Hope to see this team make more together! I recommend this movie to anyone looking for something different but high quality.
