Esme, My Love is long on atmosphere and ambiguity, its shifting moods bolstered by the cinematography of Fletcher Wolfe and the music of Stephanie Griffin and Charlotte Littlehales.

Rated: 6/10

Eye for Film

For a low budget film shot in the woods, Esme, My Love, looks very impressive.

Rated: 3.5/5

Gone With The Twins

The plot may not move forward with enough clues to keep audiences guessing (or, rather, for them to care to keep guessing), but it’s nevertheless handled with sincerity and a certain absorbing strangeness.

Rated: 5/10

I really enjoyed this movie. I was looking for something slow, fresh, and modern that would keep me glued to my seat. And this movie delivered.

This movie had such an ominous feel to it that I found myself unable to look away. The actors were stellar. Stacey Weckstein is new to me, but after her fantastic performance, she's definitely upped her star power. I was sucked in and on board for watching her every move. Audrey Grace Marshall was perfect as well. At 14, she's older than I thought she was, having me assuming that Esme might be 9 or 10. Overall, the movie was a bit unclear on some things—I'd have liked more lucid explanations such as the fact that the daughter was terminally ill, or to know the significance of why certain people/beings were appearing at different times—but other than that, my attention was held rapt the entire 1 hour 45 minutes. I look forward to watching these two actresses starring in many more roles.

This is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. The nature photography was stunning. This score was unusual and atmospheric. Audrey Grace was riveting.

This was a wonderfully beautiful film. It was dreamlike in places, it captured both wonder and a bit of fright. It held my attention throughout and I will watch it again, which means I liked it. I hope this gem of a movie gets noticed by lovers of good stories and anyone who has ever wondered about the hidden truths behind their life story.
