Shredded

You might be surprised by some of the things you learn in this film. It's clear that the filmmakers worked with care and respect for their subject and the folks involved. The film deals with how different people deal with trauma and cope with hard experiences. The conversations the characters feel real-- which might sound obvious, but some dialogue in other films doesn't feel realistic. The conversations are meaningful and thoughtful. These characters feel like people you could meet in your own life. Beautifully shot-- in particular, the scenes on the beach and in the water are pretty amazing.

Shredded is a beautifully made film that balances heartache and hope really well. It's a story that has a wonderful message that keeps you hooked throughout. The cinematography was stunning- I especially loved the shots of the ocean and surfing especially. The writing felt completely real and believable. And the performances were raw and honest. Movies that are based on a true story can sometimes feel too heavy but this was balanced well with moments of levity and a message of picking yourself back up and hope. You can tell this is a story that all the filmmakers took great care in telling well. Definitely reccomend.

This movie had me right from the start - Cancer is not a subject that any of us want to face, however, these individuals faced their journey in a beautiful vulnerable way that engaged me.

The message of hope (maybe not recovery) is a lesson learned on living life fully.

What developed between the two characters is more than a Hollywood Movie it provides us an insight into life and the detours we often must take to get to our spot on the map.

The cancer journey is an emotional and complex process, and this documents that with extreme grace, compassion and empathy.

The message that one cannot run away from life but must run with it has changed the way I proceed each day accepting the good, bad, and sometimes ugly.

SHREDDED is a compelling drama that reminds us of the fundamental healing power of shared experiences and the blessings of unexpected friendship.

A honest portrayal of interpersonal relationships in this digital world, where a cup of coffee and persistence can prevail.

A story of personal victory, courage and letting go of all you once believed. Showing a path forward from personal trauma and finding hope when you thought yourself empty.

Breathing each breath, feeling each emotion, then exhaling to let them be freed. SHREDDED is an engaging film that allows the viewer to participate in the climax of bare emotions.

I am not a "cryer"; I cried - So good!

SHREDDED is a much needed story about grief, healing, and most importantly, connection.

It was so refreshing to see such an honest and real portrayal of an issue that is often not openly or easily discussed. As someone that hasn't seen their reality correctly portrayed through film. Ever. This was just such a gorgeous story to experience, and see being done in a truthful way. The acting is so honest and raw, it can only draw the audience in for more.

I really want to applaud SHREDDED on being so willing to tackle a subject that is often so neglected and passed over. It is only through these heartfelt stories that us, the public, get to learn about the real world we live in.
