Purely Joyful Movie!
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
I had the pleasure of seeing the NYC premiere of this incredible film, made by the insightful and smart filmmaker Harris Doran. It is a story that is needed to be told in this delicate yet brutality honest way. In any other hands it would be false. See it, you will not be disappointed.
It's incredibly intense, so definitely buckle up and have a light-hearted comedy queued up to start right after - but if you're looking for a tough, important story that's incredibly well-told and crafted, definitely check this one out and spread the word. Thornton turns in what should be a career-making performance and Cathy Curtin's no slouch either. Laura Bell is outstanding if not a little underused, leaves you wanting even more of her.
I was riveted throughout the entire film. From the brilliant cast to the powerful, real screenplay, superb direction by Harris Doran and gritty, sultry cinematography. I was very impressed by this film and it lands a powerful punch that you wont forget. I expect to see this on the big screens.
I have worked for an organization that supports children and families dealing with child sexual abuse for a number of years. This gritty, accurate movie does justice to the range of emotions and the hard decisions many people face who encounter the life changing trauma that accompanies child sexual abuse. This is the kind of movie that can both entertain and educate an audience and it balances those two roles very well. Anyone who gives a damn about protecting our children need to watch this and listen to the unfortunate but absolutely critical message the director Harris Doran has for the audience. Well done!!
