Rated

The trouble with short films is that when you find one as well-crafted and witty as this one with outstanding acting and spot on social commentary, 19 minutes just isn't enough. This film is fantastic. Bravo!

Really, do not miss this film. This is one of the funniest, original, well played shorts I have ever seen. I saw this at the Savannah film festival, not having read or knowing anything about it, and was extremely pleasantly surprised. I had a huge smile on my face the whole time and I was only sad when it was finished, I really wanted more!

RATED is a fun, relatable and thought provoking ride with great performances all around and spot-on direction. Fun fact: the family at the center of the story is a real family! In addition to playing their roles, Dad directed and he and mom co-wrote and produced. How cool is that!? The film leaves you wanting more!

A clever idea for a film with great performances. I look forward to seeing more from Christie Lynn Smith in the future. Well done.

When I first saw the trailer a few days ago, it hooked me immediately and I could hardly wait to see the full feature! I have been anxiously awaiting the release of this short film for so long and it did not disappoint! It is such a clever idea with a great message. It is beautifully written, laugh out loud hilarious with strong performances by all. It's fun for the whole family and appropriate for all ages...which is rare these days. Our family watched it 3 times in a row! I have heard that it might be made into a full feature length film? Fingers crossed that this is the case because this short film left me wanting more! Truly a gem! Lana Bolton
