Daniel Isn't Real (2025)

 

A troubled teenager resurrects an imaginary friend who "coaches" him in everyday actions with life but mainly girls. Miles Robbins as Luke is excellent throughout, his life is changed when he witness's a horrific mass shooting at a Coffee shop, he meets Daniel, but he, well, isn't real. The first two thirds of the movie are solid, Daniel advising in everyday interactions, mainly with girls, but this start to go ary  as Lukes mental state deteriorate and affects all the people around him. The trouble is the final third it all goes a bit arty farty with weird imagery, which I don't mind, I'm a Nick Cage fan, c'mon! but it does get a little tiresome and slows the pace of the movie which is a pity as it could have been a recommended watch, as it is, give it a go, but it won't be for everyone.

3.5/5
