An excellent film about the stage of grief you never want to experience
voglerlena29 August 2018
"Limbo" introduces us to a grieving father whose life is out of control since he lost his teenage daughter. While his wife has already moved on with another man, the protagonist wastes the days away in his dirty flat and his money on webcam girls. However, his intensions are not as they appear, and he discovers an unusual salve for his unending grief.

This film is a well-made piece of art that stimulates the eye with its beautiful, cinematic look and leaves the heart heavy with its depressing, bitter-sweet story. You care deeply about the protagonist from the very start and it never gets boring for a moment. The casting is exceptional and each actor fits their role perfectly. It's almost as if the parts were written specifically for each actor.

"Limbo" has a unique plot that raises issues about the state of grieving. The short film is perfect for anyone who likes stories that give you something to think about and includes a bitter-sweet twist.

Emotionally thought provoking and well executed.

"Limbo" is a haunting and thought-provoking cinematic experience that delves into the depths of grief and uncertainty. The film skillfully weaves a narrative of a grieving father confronting the inexplicable through his encounters with his deceased daughter's doppelganger. The emotional intensity of this premise is expertly portrayed, with superb performances that tug at your heartstrings. The film's pacing keeps you on the edge of your seat, gradually unraveling its mysteries while maintaining an air of suspense. The film explores themes of loss, identity, and the various blurred lines of one's reality, making it a profound and introspective journey. Jean-Luc Julien brings a unique vision to the screen, blending psychological drama with elements of the mundane to construct a memorable and psychologically resonant story. The film's ending leaves you with lingering questions, sparking contemplation long after the credits roll.
