Performances – Jessica Falkholt is great in the leading role of this film, which could have been the start of what could have been a wonderful career, before it was tragically taken away from us. Jerome Meyer brings us such a pure performance which will show all the good in his character, with Eamon Farren brings the darker side to what these powers could bring.
Story – The story here follows a young woman with incredible abilities to take away the pain from people, bringing them peace to continue their lives, while he ends up meeting a social awkward young man that has a unique connection to her. This is the start of something that was always meant to be bigger, we learn the balance of the world through here, where we learn about the bigger connection within the universe. It is a very interest concept and it is one you would like to dive into the bigger picture, which sadly, it doesn’t look like we ever will get.
Fantasy/Romance – The fantasy side of this film does come from the idea behind the character’s abilities, while the romance shows how everything could change for the characters.
Settings – The film uses the big city setting to show us just how people could have secrets you never know about round every corner.
Scene of the Movie – Mason’s driving breakdown.
That Moment That Annoyed Me – The punks feel too generic.
Final Thoughts – Harmony is an ambitious movie we could easily see more from, with the interesting world created.
