Kahron Spearman Austin Chronicle As a first go, Aloys showcases Nlle's superior technical abilities, but the script stammers to an end that only a director who also wrote the film could create. Oct 28, 2016 Full Review Anton Bitel Little White Lies Austere yet fanciful, it is a haunting vision of loneliness and escape. Rated: 5/5 Sep 23, 2016 Full Review Laura DeMarco Cleveland Plain Dealer Director Tobias Nolle's first full-length film is a tense, dark thriller that delves into contemporary issues of digital isolation, technology, surveillance and privacy. Rated: B- Apr 5, 2017 Full Review Walker MacMurdo Willamette Week Director Tobias Nlle's pretty camera work can't save this film from being an utter chore. Rated: 1/4 Feb 27, 2017 Full Review Jordi Costa El Pais (Spain) The film is so overloaded with a certain formal exhibitionism that turns out to be a distraction from its spinal weakness. [Full review in Spanish] Dec 5, 2016 Full Review Alberto Bermejo El Mundo (Spain) The director describes the story in a dry and extremely precision, turning over its protagonist.

nefasto r Between magic realism and sheer craziness, we find "Aloys", a little pearl full of gorgeous scenes and hypnotic moments. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the most beautiful and intense movie in all the time, gorgeous, romantic, surreal... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Mesmerising and deeply moving as an evocative journey from disconnection towards connection and intimacy. Both uplifting and very sad too. A beautiful and surreal film, that will resonate in my mind for a long time... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A lonely private investigator that stay clear of everyone likes to film people in his sparetime. His father recently died and now he's all alone. Someone steals his videos and he is blackmailed. The blackmailer and Aloys keep in touch by phone, and they start some sort of relationship as they meet in a imaginary universe. This goes on and he is slowly getting better at entering the mysterious world, utterly fascinated by her voice and mysteriousness. It looks very good, crisp and clean with some very chilling scenes caused by setting and static camera. It's a mindbender and a pretty hard film to digest on a lazy sunday, but it worked out for me. Nice acting jobs, cool score and a very subtle, jet fresh and original plot about loneliness. Aloys sheldered isolation is somewhat relatable but it's presented in a artisitc matter making it much more interesting than the average "loner-film". 7.5 out of 10 foggy windows. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member The film explores relationships and the expecations vs realty side of connecting with a person. However as the line between both blurs the film falls into the trap of being overly involved in itself. Grade: B- Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Of course fantasy is always better than reality. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
