The following review makes reference to the 2013 film Frequencies, and does not contain spoilers of any type.

Year: 2013 Category: Science Fiction, Romance, Thriller. Director: Darren Paul Fisher. Cast: Daniel Fraser, Eleanor Wyld, Dylan Llewellyn, David Barnaby, Timothy Block, David Broughton-Davies, Georgina Minter-Brown, Owen Pugh, Ria Carroll, Joanna Hole.

A film that tells the love story between Zak and Marie, which takes place in a world where everything is governed by the frequencies, highs and lows, which determine the success and failure of people. In this way, the film talks about determinism, science and philosophy with an unusual narrative structure.

The story takes place in a world in which people emit a frequency that determines their success or failure in relation to all events. Those who have a high frequency succeed in life, but in turn their emotional capacity decreases, while those with a low frequency fail, but they are much more empathetic.

Marie, a girl who has the highest frequency but who lacks feelings, begins to perform an experiment with Zak, the child with the lowest frequency, causing, for reasons not clearly explained, various disturbing events. Every time they are together something bad happens, for example: that things tremble, vases that break, and luggage that fall from the airplanes. However, Zak has feelings for Marie, and with Theo's help will look for ways to increase his frequency and make Marie have feelings, however, he will find much more than what he was looking for.

Interesting proposal produced, written and directed by Darren Paul Fisher, which presents an independent film with its usual characteristics, so that although it is in the category of science fiction, the story is kept with a reduced budget, which makes it scarce in terms of special effects, scenarios and technical issues. Something that is not necessarily bad, because allows the director to narrate any topic, no matter how strange it may be, keeping story as the most important.

The film divides the way in which it shows the story in three parts, which in turn are divided into three different periods of time, being predominantly the part of Marie when is a girl and adolescent, and the part of Zak when is an adult. Finally the different angles converge on the same point to get a conclusion about all the events. Although at the beginning, in the first minutes, the film is difficult to assimilate and you can see some very abrupt cuts that alter scene after scene in a confused way, while the film progresses overcoming this problem.

The performances of the actresses, Lily Laight, Georgina Minter-Brown and Eleanor Wyld, were good and convincing, the three of them play the same character at different times in history and do it well. I can not say the same about the actors who play Zak, Charlie Rixon, Dylan Llewellyn and Daniel Fraser, who do not do it completely wrong, but who do not have enough charisma, mainly the last two.

In short, it is a film that poses an interesting proposal but fails due to the lack of emotion, since the viewer does not sympathize with any of the characters, not to mention that slowly creating a much more complex story to end in a way that subtract all the importance to what was shown throughout the film.

It has an acceptable direction despite having a low budget, a script quite complex but not sufficiently developed, and performances that oscillate between good and bad. However, thanks to the specific genre in which it is classified and for proposing an original story surely this film will like some people who will make it a cult film. I would not recommend it, Because it's not a movie for all kinds of audiences. Although if you want to see it, it would not stop you from doing it either.
