Review by Mike Szymanski
“This is not my world,” the main character of “The Shift” says over and over again. He seems like he belongs in that world, as he falls out of the sky and then walks out of a lake with full clothes on, but he insists in voiceover that: “This is not my world.”
This may not be your world either, but “The Shift” is an intriguing retelling of the Book of Job told in a unique way with satisfying redemption and a well-performing, almost-unknown cast. Look for more good coming from Brock Heasley as a director and writer, as he brings his real-life pain and passion into his very first feature film project.
A handsome, sympathetic and hapless Everyman named Kevin is played remarkably well by Kristoffer Polaha. He runs into a mysterious character…
