Doesn't so much copy Terrence Malick as swallow the filmmaker's stylistic tics whole and vomit them out onscreen in an ungainly if mercifully brief mess.

New York Times

Too many scenes find the actors standing around without much idea of staging, as they airily prattle dialogue.

A film about an adolescent romance based on the pseudoscientific concept that some children possess special or supernatural powers.

NYC Movie Guru

Elliptical, lyrical and provocative film and filled with visual poetry. It defies genre while remaining unpredictable and refreshingly un-Hollywood.

Rated: 8.2/10

Apart from the basic American movies, there are many more genres in movies that can bring entertainment and knowledge all at once. I believe that this movie, i.e., Indigo Children makes an ideal fit in that category. Don't go falling for the name, as this movie isn't just a wholesome experience for kids. Instead, it's an amazingly crafted movie for parents, teens, and children to see. I loved the theme and concept of this movie and how it kept me indulged throughout the story. It was the perfect blend of the scientific and spiritual watch without the presence of religion. An awesome and thought-provoking movie indeed!

An Inspiring Experience: This touching movie was certainly an inspiring experience for me. I found the concept and story of this movie to be well-presented and very thought-provoking. The entire philosophical and scientific concept of this movie added real concept and curiosity throughout the watch. With the introduction and interview of Indigo's of all ages and backgrounds, most new concepts were created, and cliché ones were replaced. It's easy to predict, but when you can witness the reality and scientific knowledge through such an entertaining and indulging movie, there's no space for false claims. Moreover, the presence of enchanting music added another flow to the concept, making it more captivating.

On January 23, 2014 there was a screening of an independent film by the name of Indigo Children. The film had been playing at the Quad Cinema in New York City for a few screenings. The story of Indigo Children at first seems like a summer love story between two teens, but it is in fact according to the synopsis, the story is "a summer of mysterious disappearing acts in which a mysterious girl pursues a young man in her new small town home. Coinciding deaths and a disappearance create a common thread between them as they struggle with young love and loss over the course of one summer." The story was inspired by director Eric Chaney's experience about the first girl he ever loved. The story introduces Mark and Christina and their innocent but yet somewhat complicated relationship. In addition, as the plot unfolds, the audience gets to see where the complication originates. Two lost teen souls coming from dysfunctional homes and trying to be happy in life. The film is sweet, haunting and a little melancholy, but very well acted and keeps you interested n finding out more about the characters.

This is a very "in the moment" film. Charming- Real- Coming of Age story. I saw it twice in Theaters and it sparks conversation. Greatly enjoyed the placid tone. Great job to the director Eric Chaney and his team for making the premiere a memorable event as well. Keep a look out for the DVD. #IndigoChildren

I thought this film was great - it was an original spin on a love story from the perspective of an adolescent. I found it to be thoughtful and well done, the acting was great. Very unique, good job Eric Chaney!
