Critical Nexus (2013)

What makes it different from others?

Very well executed

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I recently watched Critical Nexus at the Harper Theater in Chicago. Despite an unseasonable rain storm, I and a few others braved the weather to watch this film. I'm so glad that I did. It is a smart portrayal of the intersecting issues of sex, lust, pornography, female body image, acceptance and relationships/dating in a modern digital world. I found the movie to be very thought provoking and one that can be used for teaching on the various topics mentioned; or a movie that a small group of people can view together, discuss, share and learn. I'm looking forward to the release of the DVD, because I plan on sharing it with many of my friends in the sex abuse prevention industry. Thank you to the producers, director, writer and cast for creating this wonderful work!

This was one of the most interesting plots I've seen in the theater. The movie had great cinematography, the acting was realistic with artistic license from the producer. This movie grasp the audience attention with excitement. Kudos to the producer Mr. Tirf Alexius! You're on your way man!! Great job!The acting was realistic, enticing and interesting.For all intentions and purpose this is a well made film. the execution had great coincidences and interesting. The major turns in the story were timely and moved us to the next act. The writer/Director Tirf Alexius directorial choices were great!The film devolves into one scene after another where the lead actress run to one situation after another. Great foreshadowing and a great sense of humor in some parts of the movie. Kudos Critical Nexus..you definitely got a A+ from me.

I was intrigued the whole while watching this film. It has plenty of layers and complexity and is rich in themes. I thought there were some strong performances, especially from some of the actors playing secondary characters. This is not an easy breezy storyline, so you have to bring your thinking cap. I'm not certain all of the story lines were tied up completely, but that may be my own need for a neat ending. But this is definitely an independent spirit film, so don't expect Hollywood conventionality in the story lines. It was also fresh and original in other ways. For instance, I really loved that the casting was so diverse and unconventional.

To be honest, there are some things about this movie that I didn't get. But I keep thinking about it. Like, I am not sure how her dad fits into things or if (how?) Mark knew Katie before she ran away. But here is what I know: a girl runs an internet sex show, and runs away from home. Two different guys are chasing her, one of which wants to murder her and one of which wants to ... well, his motives are kind of mysterious. They don't know where she is headed but are trying to figure it out based on things she says on her webcam. It is a sexy movie, but not really in the way I thought it was going to be. This movie will really make you think.
