Rag Doll

I spend a lot of time looking for good movies to tell people about. Since I found this movie during it's amazing run through the festival circuit, I have not stopped talking about how good this movie is. Finding a story that works to tell a real story about people who are more than just paper thin stereotypes is hard enough, but then making you root for them not just during the movie, but wondering what they are doing when you as a view leaves them.

The director seems to have a keen ability to make things feel real. The cast is very talented as both actors and fighters.

I feel like I discovered a huge secret before anyone else. I can not wait to see what this group does next.

And - watch this movie. It is amazing and very much worth your time.

The film takes you on a path where you think you have an understanding of where it's going only to take you on a completely different path. You must see the film until the very end to completely understand it and it's worth every minute. It's heart pounding in more than one way.

Love the harsh, disquieting style of this film. Not only is it a festival favorite, but it deals with a lot of very powerful subjects all in a nice, tidy but rough around the edges piece.

While it is a 'Fight Film,' there is a lot more going on than one would think. I don't want to reveal any of the great plot points but I will say this, 'Watch this movie!' Nora, played by Shannon Murray is a master study in dealing with the harsh realities of life. How she does it is told in a brilliant and loving fashion by Director Bailey Kobe.

If you're in the mood for a great film, take a look...

Excellent fighting drama. Emotional, observational. I liked it much more than I expected. Great cast, well done screenplay a few cliches, but satisfying and convincing. Promising filmmakers.

All of the acting in this flick is outstanding and potentially award winning. Shannon Murray and Catherine Erb were perfectly cast as Daughter & Mother.

An entertaining movie with a few surprises.
