I saw the Darkest Light last night at about 1 in the morning. it was the perfect time to watch the film because at a time like that I am generally feeling extremely prepared to watch lesser quality movies. I was flicking through the movie channels when I came upon this film.
What first grabbed my attention was that I recognized the character 'Tom' and I'm glad I stopped flicking as the film turned out to be well acted, and dealt well with complex conceptual ideas which are mixed into the plot with the reality of a family trying to come to terms with their sons cancer.
Catherine the sister of the boy with cancer was in my opinion quite exceptionaly played by Keri Arnold. She was perfect in her role.
the film turned out to be exceptionally moving, and although the plot and screenplay skipped a beat once or twice, I came away from the film, feeling like I had experienced something worthwhile and thought provoking.
Not the most outstanding film but very good and though provoking also.
