Invincible: Review. By Richard Schertzer.

As a child, how did you behave towards others? Were you nice? Were you polite? Or did you cause mayhem to everyone around you? In Vincent Rene-Lortie’s new film Invincible, it tackles some issues of nostalgia, coming-of-age and teenage angst that seem to be perfectly packaged into one short film.

The film follows a young teenager named Marc who is wrapped up in a juvenile detention center for teenage boys. His defiant attitude and desire to be free remains his driving force and motivation and further explains as to why he feels unfulfilled and stagnant in a state of emotional distress and turmoil.

The film proves to be a subtle and poignant outing for the director. Rene-Lortie proves to be a talent behind the camera as he showcases a vivid stage in all of our lives as teenagers where we all thought that we knew everything and got into more trouble than we needed to without thinking too long about the consequences of our actions.

The acting is also very impeccable with a raw, visceral and surreal look with some convincing performances from the cast. It almost feels like watching a case from the hit series “Beyond Scared Straight” with a sad ending that says more about our society as a whole than it ever will say about a troubled teenager.

Looking at these personal films has always been interesting to look at and provides a glimpse into the reality of someone else, as if the audience member were watching a documentary about the person.

In conclusion, this is a film that does so much with so little and creates such a pivotal landscape that’s based on the actual person Marc-Antoine Bernier.
