"Invincible" truly blew me away. It's astounding to see such a fresh and young talent like Vincent channel his own pain into such a powerful piece of storytelling. In half an hour, you're taken on this intense, emotional ride that you just don't want to end. The performances he's pulled from these young actors are nothing short of incredible-they're acting with a maturity way beyond their years, making you root for them every step of the way. The cinematography was clean, composed and rich making each shot and frame feel jam packed with the onscreen emotion. As a tragic story is based on real-life events, it that just makes it hit closer to home. This is one of those films that sticks with you, a perfect example of how grounded filmmaking, human stakes, and emotive storytelling can create such a moving experience. Definitely a must-watch if you're into beautifully told films that make you feel.

An exceptional work, executed with sensitivity, that delves into the psychological distress of an adolescent. Each moment intricately weaves a poignant narrative, vividly portraying the challenges and triumphs inherent to this phase of life. This creation transcends mere observation, immersing the viewer in a profound sea of emotions. It's more than a visual journey; it's a profound exploration of the complex human experience. A mesmerizing tapestry that captures the intricate nuances of emotion. To watch with discerning eyes and an open heart, as it unfolds a rich tapestry of the profound human condition.

A great film . Admirable photography and the splendid performance of young Leokim. Beaumier Lepine. And the fair way to define not the most comfortable questions, from essence of freedom, limits of kindness of a teacher, literary talent and the isolation, the callphone to home after escape and the confirmation of warning, the radical decision as only form to assume the freedom.

Not easy but beautiful crafted, exploring , in gentle - precise manner, fundamental truths not reduced to the case of young Marc but to each of us.

A simple story inspired crafted. In essence that is just all . And the gratitude for a great work, for director.

"Invincible" is a gripping and poignant exploration of the human spirit's desperate yearning for freedom, set against the stark backdrop of a rehabilitation center for troubled children. Directed by visionary filmmaker Vincent René-Lortie, this emotionally charged film takes audiences on a harrowing journey through the depths of despair and the elusive pursuit of liberty.

The protagonist, Marc, brilliantly portrayed by Leokim Beaumier Lépine, is a young soul trapped within the confines of a rehabilitation center, a place meant to heal but, in his case, becomes a prison of the mind. The film adeptly navigates the complexities of Marc's troubled past. The supporting cast, including the counselor and fellow patients, deliver standout performances, adding layers to the narrative and emphasizing the impact of institutionalization on vulnerable individuals. The relationships formed within the center reveal the subtle nuances of human connection, but ultimately underscore the profound isolation Marc feels.

Great job, hope that gets nominated.

I just watched on the theater, in fact the session shows some of Oscar nominated movies and this movie was in the list and the winner also "history of Henry Sugar"

The movie " invincible" is a drama from Canada and is inspired on a real history.

Most movies we want see is a successful person or a very bad person but when it's come to a normal person, it's annoying because we see around people with similar life.

So, this short movie can be resumed in a history of a spolied boy who can't accept any discipline and by committed a crime, went to the nice prision in Canada where they tried to help him but as any spoiled kid, scaped and killed himself. Well done, most spoiled criminal kids should follow his step for the goodness of society.

A great, emotional story and fantastic performances. Director Vincent René-Lortie clearly is a name to watch as is the young star Léokim Beaumier-Lépine who gives a note-perfect natural performance as Marc-Antoine as his life unravels.

The story - and it's in the bio so it can't be a spoiler - sees us follow Marc-Antione in the last 48 hours of his life as he is taken back to the juvenile detention facility where he is being held after a blissful weekend of home leave.

I hear this is being put forward for the 'live-action short' Oscar. That's perfectly well-deserved and it will take something great to beat it.

It's a truly exceptional short film and a credit to everyone involved in making it. Go and find where it's showing and give it 30 minutes of your life.

I really liked this short film, everything aspect was really well done except the frustration of not knowing why Marc was the way he was (understandably, as it's based on a true story and no one will know what Marc was thinking). Despite having mental health issues myself, I could not empathize with his self sabotaging behavior and that took me out of the film a bit.

It's well worth the watch still - the cinematography was gorgeous, the acting from all (but especially the young man playing Marc) was great and the directing was on point. It's only 30 minutes so there really isn't much of an excuse not to watch it lol.
