That was an excellent one.
One of my all time favorites.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
GIRL ON THE EDGE is a truly heartfelt film. The story is engaging and the direction exemplifies true compassion for the characters. A balanced mix of raw, intense, emotional scenes contrasted with loving, beautiful moments and visuals. A strong cast that includes veterans such as Peter Coyote and Elizabeth Peña help carry the film while allowing Taylor Spreitler to shine.
I found this film not only touching but educational. Sharing a true story about bullying and abuse is very topical, these film makers successfully take your on a journey that includes both the family and the young teens journey through treatment. It was truly inspiring to see how equine therapy helped the victim recover with self esteem and self confidence and begin anew. I think every family should sit with their teens and share this film as it's a gold ticket on what lessons are available to be shared.
As a father of three I found this film not only touching but educational. It deals with the important issues of dangerous online activities for teens and their aftermath. Not only shows the family's struggle but also the journey of healing using equine therapy. I highly recommend this for any family going through similar challenges. Beautifully shot with a wonderful cast. A truly inspiring story.
I don't know why other reviews on this movie were negative. I liked it, it was touching. It's about a teenage girl overcoming emotional trauma and about how a family can drift apart and then be healed. When kids act out, there's almost always a reason. Sometimes terrible things can happen to you but it's never too late to calm down, (put away your phone) and find your inner calm and peace.
