On January 23, 2014 there was a screening of an independent film by the name of Indigo Children. The film had been playing at the Quad Cinema in New York City for a few screenings.

The story of Indigo Children at first seems like a summer love story between two teens, but it is in fact according to the synopsis, the story is "a summer of mysterious disappearing acts in which a mysterious girl pursues a young man in her new small town home. Coinciding deaths and a disappearance create a common thread between them as they struggle with young love and loss over the course of one summer." The story was inspired by director Eric Chaney's experience about the first girl he ever loved. The story introduces Mark and Christina and their innocent but yet somewhat complicated relationship. In addition, as the plot unfolds, the audience gets to see where the complication originates. Two lost teen souls coming from dysfunctional homes and trying to be happy in life.

The film is sweet, haunting and a little melancholy, but very well acted and keeps you interested n finding out more about the characters.

Man! This movie brought me back to my first mature crush that got away. I can't stop thinking about this now! Good movie. I never knew that there was a term referred to as Indigo Children. That scene where they were on the train and Christina asked Mark what an Indigo Child is, was like a light bulb for me. Christina is growing on me! There were a lot of good setting shots where I want to make stills out of, blow up, make a poster, hang on my wall! We need more movies like this. It definitely has a 70's feel to it. It will make you reflect on your past, and your earliest crush or crushes ha. This has been saved to my Netflix. The Director did a great job sticking to a certain mood and maintaining it throughout the film. Everything flowed together, the ariel shots, the dialogue, the settings, and even the music and soundtrack in the background just made sense!

An Inspiring Experience: This touching movie was certainly an inspiring experience for me. I found the concept and story of this movie to be well-presented and very thought-provoking. The entire philosophical and scientific concept of this movie added real concept and curiosity throughout the watch. With the introduction and interview of Indigo's of all ages and backgrounds, most new concepts were created, and cliché ones were replaced. It's easy to predict, but when you can witness the reality and scientific knowledge through such an entertaining and indulging movie, there's no space for false claims. Moreover, the presence of enchanting music added another flow to the concept, making it more captivating.

It was a lyrical, elliptical, and unconventional movie indeed. Since this was an ideal documentary for people of all ages, I found my experience of watching Indigo Children as one of the best ones. The overall brief concept of this film may seem like only a love story, but it's much more than that. The story beneath the love-story centric surface is more deep and indescribable in words. Undoubtedly, a watch can keep you hooked throughout the documentary with each detail that unfolds inside the movie. From the train tracks to the moss, caterpillar, and everything else added in each scene to make it more vibrant simply complimented the visual poetry of the movie. I am amazed!

Apart from the basic American movies, there are many more genres in movies that can bring entertainment and knowledge all at once. I believe that this movie, i.e., Indigo Children makes an ideal fit in that category. Don't go falling for the name, as this movie isn't just a wholesome experience for kids. Instead, it's an amazingly crafted movie for parents, teens, and children to see. I loved the theme and concept of this movie and how it kept me indulged throughout the story. It was the perfect blend of the scientific and spiritual watch without the presence of religion. An awesome and thought-provoking movie indeed!

Among the numerous movie genres, I believe in watching movies that are thought-provoking and closer to reality. While fantasy is great to watch, it doesn't awaken you or make you aware of any real knowledge. And it's not just me, but many others today prefer spending their leisure time watching such iconic movies that introduce us to various realities while captivating throughout the watch. Indigo, for me, is one of those movies. The entire concept of this documentary movie gave me a clear understanding and knowledge of Indigo Children. It's a clear concept movie, which helps us understand how we all have such gifts and answer all the questions regarding Indigo children. I loved it!

Incredibly still, yet moving. Inspiring. Pushes boundaries in filmmaking with very little effort. A breath of fresh air in modern day film production. Excellent character development and cinematic choices. Visually breathtaking at times, while awkward and quirky at others. At times, I couldn't help but laugh. Whether I was laughing at the uncomfortable situations the characters found themselves in, or at the parallels I discovered within myself is a question I am still pondering... Nostalgic and witty.. While there is very little physical movement, the dialogue carries the film along. About ten minutes into the film, I found myself on the edge of my seat listening intently. The seemingly insignificant chatter between the actors paralleled nicely with serious moments and subject matters. Lots of memorable quotes. To understand this movie, you have to open both your mind and your heart. To enjoy it, you only have to see it.

Christina, a attractively complicated girl, follows a grieving young man in her home town. She talks, but has many secrets. It's a chilly summer romance full of mysterious death and loss. An intriguing movie that I could watch over and over. Mark - our main character - has to decide whether this town, this relationship, and this girl are good for him or not, and all we want is for him to find peace. The chemistry between Mark and Christina is palpable, and Mark's description of trains is something I can listen to forever. We get to watch him decide whether he wants to live his life as a local or a passer-by. The story is warm, yet uncomfortable, and - like any great film - never lets you sit still.
