Review of Hidden Light (2018) by Alex H — 26 Dec 2018

Aaron Kamp builds a solid world in his latest, "Hidden Light", a piece about a city that is controlled by a violent, drug-fueled underworld and the one priest who works to set things right. Through this dichotomy, he illustrates the delicate balance between good and evil that each one of us struggle with every day and ultimately, provides some measure of hope that good will triumph in the end.

A slew of crisp visuals - notably his intimate close ups - along with strong performances from leads Jack Jovcic and Troy Coward help this film rise above melodrama, despite some supporting players that might otherwise threaten to weigh it down.

Mid-way through the film, it might be obvious that a number of the characters are headed for a collision course, but nonetheless, the ride is still well worth it.
