Blistering performances.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This movie is visually STUNNING! Absolutely, one thousand percent, one of the best films I've ever seen! POETIC, HAUNTING & with so much depth, it will stay with you long after. The actors are positively GORGEOUS, but there are so many levels of complexity to the characters they depict. The sceneries are ETHEREAL. The music is truly CAPTIVATING.The story line is so COMPELLING, you will continue to think about and reflect on it long after the ending. This film makes you FEEL to the extreme. The PASSION is off the charts! If I had to describe it in one word it would be INTENSE, in a way that is indescribable but incredibly SATISFYING. ! If I had missed this film, I would have always felt a void. It's one of those movies that make you say "Wow, THIS is what I've always been looking for my whole life!" It is truly a BRILLIANT piece of ART! Pascal Payant is a force to be reckoned with, a VISIONARY & a breath of fresh air!

Objectively and subjectively, this movie is outstanding! I can't say anything but good things about this film. For a film with such a low budget, the director did an amazing job combining a great storyline, ethereal scenery, and mesmerizing soundtracks. The framing of each scene, and development of characters were all very clever, and well executed..something you don't find much of these days. What I like most about the movie is that the director takes the universal theme of "love" and showcases it in a very real and raw way. Your sure to connect with one or more of the characters in some way. I am positive you'll enjoy this film! It'll have you feeling every emotion on the spectrum, and will leave you wanting more of Casey and Elissa! Enjoy!

They say that people can love so much it hurts. I believe this to be true and I believe that we have all, at one point or another, loved so much it hurts. Sometimes it is the hard relationships that have the biggest payout, whether it be in learning who we truly are or getting to be with our soul mate forever. On The Horizon is a beautiful film that puts a very difficult and hard relationship, and where those involved love so much it hurts, under a microscope. It is a film that all of us can relate to, because, we have all lived it at some point and time. The film uses a brilliant score and very aesthetic pleasing and breathtaking landscape to evoke emotion throughout the film. There is not a moment that goes by that one is not entranced in the relationship between Casey and Elissa. Their pain, love, and lust leap off the screen in a vivid way; and given that this film was low budget, that in of itself is a spectacular thing to see. Payant was able to capture the beauty of Utah and the stunning scenery of France all the while telling a story of loving so much it actually hurts. Tyler Johnson is magnificent as Casey, he allows the audience to not only see what is happening on screen, but more importantly, allowing us to feel what he is feeling. He takes the audience on the roller coaster that is his relationship with Elissa and how he lives so differently when he is with her vs. to without her. Sandy Leddin is fantastic in the role of Elissa. We both love and hate her and is what some might call a bitch; however, Leddin, easily allows the audience to see how much this character is actually hurting and how she is trying so hard to fight her true feelings for anyone or anything that she just continues the cycle of hurting herself and those that love her. Elissa is edgy, mysterious and frail; and Leddin does a fabulous job of navigating all those with ease. Notable mentions are Jessica Morris, who plays Amy, so fantastically that it hurts. What a great talent. Another notable mention is Kristen Kerr who plays Elissa's best friend. Kerr is perfection as Kate and I could not imagine anyone else playing this role. And the beautiful Jade Harlow who plays Christine so wonderfully that you may believe she just might be the one to ease Casey from his pain of loving someone so much it hurts, if only she is given the chance. Hats off to Payant who used his resources well, directed a beautiful film, and told a magnificent story of love and life. I highly recommend finding this film and watching it. You will not be let down.

Some people will not like this movie because it has a thin storyline. It did bother me, since I'm very story-driven, but still, it managed to sustain itself, thanks to an outstanding effort with ridiculously few resources which amounted to great results.Superbly shot, with a magnificent 'natural' cinematography, and a fantastic soundtrack, which contributed in great part to the film's efficiency, although I wonder why it's abruptly interrupted for no apparent reason many times during the movie.There's a good amount of clichés: slightly overdone acting, dreamy sex scenes, everyone in the movie looking like models, and everything being so perfectly detailed and intense. Despite that, the relation at the heart of the movie is not exaggerated in anyway, and we might very well find ourselves sounding exactly like the characters in the movie. The ending maintains its credibly, since neither of the characters get full closure and never do we feel they are judged for their actions, which could have been real deal-breakers for the story.All in all, Québec has talent, and this movie is the proof. It is beautiful, a work of art from a true artist, and Payant, the director, writer, editor, can be proud of himself.
