In a world where fast-paced action and special effects often dominate cinema, Kindling is a refreshing departure. It's a heartfelt and touching reminder that sometimes the most powerful stories are the ones that touch our hearts and leave a lasting impact. This film is a testament to the enduring power of friendship and the importance of celebrating life, making it a must-see for anyone seeking a meaningful cinematic experience. What truly sets this film apart is its ability to remind us of the importance of living life to the fullest, even in the face of adversity. It encourages us to appreciate the simple joys, relish meaningful conversations, and value the friendships that shape our lives.

We really enjoyed this film. The characters were very believable and drew you into the story. It was very moving and I both laughed and cried. We loved the cinematography and how images conveyed meaning without the need for dialogue. The music was inspired and really added to the atmosphere of the film. The essence of the story was clearly conveyed through the narrative without the need to overly state it and our awareness was subtly developed as the story unfolded. The friendships were well developed and meaningful. The vulnerabilities of the boys were cleverly revealed throughout the film and the introduction of a female character added a different dimension to the relationships and a hint of possible romance. The story was thoughtfully and carefully crafted and left us reflecting on the issues it raised. It's a film for everyone but particularly important for young men to watch and reflect on. We congratulate Connor making this fantastic film.

One of the most beautifully shot pieces. The use of colouring and sound seal the atmosphere of vulnerability and also strength that give Kindling the essence of real human life and feeling. The portrayal of male friendship and fatherhood unfurl the status quo in a tender manner that expresses the necessity for people to breathe, unfortified. Somner's performance balances fear, wonder and bravery; every emotion one in Sid's position may experience. Bell's performance allows a deeper look into a father's love for his son, beyond the filter of stereotypes. Last but not least, the complete capturing of 'home' and what it means. The fear of the unknown weathered by home: "I don't know where you're off to next, but here's a map of home."

I was properly tearing up at the end of this one! No spoilers but that last scene... <3 A great film exploring some of society's preconceptions of masculinity. Took me right back to my years as a teenage lad and made me reflect on how things have changed since then. Also on a very practical level this film serves as a poignant reminder to regularly check yourself for lumps. Solid performances all round and a couple of twists in the story keep your expectations guessing. Love the soundtrack as well - Harry Brokensha's beautiful score is complimented by bangers from the likes of Wolf Alice and Bear's Den.

Kindling is a heartwarming film that tells the story of a group of young men who reunite to celebrate the life of their terminally ill friend. The film explores themes of friendship, love, and acceptance in a poignant and touching way. The characters are well-developed and each one brings a unique personality to the group. The interactions between them feel authentic and the chemistry between the actors is evident. The film successfully portrays the bittersweet moments of life and the importance of cherishing the time we have with our loved ones. The cinematography is stunning, capturing the beauty of the town where the story takes place. The soundtrack is also noteworthy, with the music adding an emotional depth to the film. Overall, Kindling is a touching and beautifully made film that will leave you feeling grateful for the people in your life. It is a celebration of life and friendship, and a reminder to cherish every moment we have. Highly recommended.
