…Short star Caitlin Acken Taylor returns as lead character Mia, a struggling art student whose dabbling with candy elixir ‘Lucid’ opens up her creativity, but also a forgotten darkness from her past. Whilst the story presented within Lucid is a compelling one, telling of one young woman’s journey to accept both her present and past self; this is a film whose strength lies in its visuals. Considering that the protagonist is an art student, this comes as no surprise, but the imagery itself is. The art experienced in Lucid is not the traditional pastels and watercolours. Mia is conceptual with her work, and the results are grungy and gnarly. There is a grittiness to Mia’s art and this is mirrored through the onscreen grain of Lucid provided by the use of 35mm and 16mm to shoot the film. The use of camera also adds a hazy, dreamy quality to the appearance and helps support the more surreal elements of Lucid that start to take over. The sets and costumes are made of beautiful garbage, everything on screen an extension of Mia herself.-The Hollywood News

“Simply stated: Lucid is a phantasmagorical 90’s banger, whose period setting isn’t simply a nostalgic crutch, but instead an actual device to tell an intriguing story of its time.”-Cinapse
