"In AMNESIA: THE JAMES BRIGHTON ENIGMA, Denis Langlois uses a real life mystery as a launching point for an artful and compelling film. Not only does the film entertain and engross until the final frame, it successfully mines philosophical territory – exploring notions of memory, identity and desire."

Quotes from REVIEWS :

« … STRANGE and provocative…mysterious and challenging … The payoff in Amnesia is considerable… More potent is the emotional climax of the film that simultaneously brings a sense of closure and understanding to the story while encouraging us to welcome the inevitable amount of mystery - and unanswerable questions - in all of our lives. » Metro Weekly, Washington DC

« … carried by Dusan Dukic’s performance as James Brighton… Amnesia succeeds in raising questions about gay identity, and questionning audience assumptions. » Rob Salerno, XTRAWEST, Vancouver

«  Firing on all physical and emotionnal cylinders, director/co-writer Denis Langlois masterfully succeeded in morphing an intriguing news item into a multi-layered film that goes far beyond narrative and deeps into the universal human conundrums of purpose, pain and pride. « S.James Wegg, INSIDE OUT, Toronto
