Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Indrid C Excellent performances in this pressure-cooker indie film that has a lot of heart. Keeps you on your toes - the twins showing a lot of promise with their debut feature. Excited to see what they do next. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Caron N I was blown away by this directorial debut. The acting, directing, and cinematography were outstanding. Visually, it was stunning — Every frame looked deliberate, like a piece of visual poetry and I felt that I could stop the film almost anywhere and have an award-winning photograph. The film was moody, intense, and artistic — simply a work of genius. Beautifully done, girls! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Andy G It's a great example of independent movie making done well with very minimal to no budget. The narrative and cast performance was incredible. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review rozhin r Watching Day of a Lion felt different because it wasn’t just any movie it was created by my close friend Bianca Foschat. Sitting there, I kept thinking about how much heart and dedication she poured into this project, and you can feel it in every scene. It’s raw, powerful, and unforgettable. I couldn’t be more proud of her—this is truly her moment to shine. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
