An incredibly simple love story about two star-crossed lovers who meet in a mental hospital : a neo-nazi who was involved in a hate crime and a young black girl who believes she has Hitler’s soul inside her.

Making you laugh out loud one minute then choking back tears the next, Neo Ned is now our favourite movie so far in the film festival and maybe even the best film I’ve seen so far this year. The film is carried by two incredible leads who you find yourself emotionally attached to in no time at all, and deserve the credit for making this film so accessible. Jeremy Renner’s performance in this film is out of this world and Gabrielle Union is superb.

There was a Q&A at the end of the movie with the Director (Van Fischer), Producer (Mark Borman), and Jeremy Renner present - all of whom received resounding applause from the audience. It’s just a shame Gabrielle Union wasn’t there to ogle at

Jeremy Renner was so good in the film that we bought tickets for his other movie in the Festival, “12 and Holding”, which was showing later on the same day.
