Review of The Strongest Man (2015) by Brookelison — 11 Nov 2015
The Strongest Man is an excellent indie film from a very talented group of indie-film people. Writer and Director Kenny Riches hits all the right notes in this fresh, breezy story of a young, mustachioed man named Beef who is compelled to search for his prized stolen BMX bike.
While working alongside his best friend Conan in Miami, he converses and dreams, occasionally and casually displaying feats of great strength. He really likes a pretty young woman named Illi, and perhaps she likes him, too.
See this film. I cannot imagine why someone would pan this wonderful film. I saw it at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival and I immediately fell in love with it. Oh, and bonus! Patrick Fugit is in it! And his character is brilliant.
The soundtrack is especially apt and the film is shot and edited impeccably well. Kenny Riches is one to watch because he's going to make some great films, and The Strongest Man is an impressive start.
See it.
