L. Marcus Williams has created a riveting film that will strike an emotional chord with the audience. The use of long continuous split-screen cinematography aids the poignant acting delivery – which may other wise be slender. Huge praise to Katlin Leslie and Dan Parilis for their blazing performances – a huge emotional undertaking with gleaming results. An interesting narrative examination was the inclusion of highlighting the choice of suicide as an act of empowerment – a probing idea that many survivors will have resonance with. Cinematography, lighting, sound and post-production are of high cinematic quality. ‘Lifeline’ is an important piece of filmmaking that may bring salvation to the hopeless. Highly recommended.
