Working Man

Great film. The thematic aspects are spot on with great sound design and cinematography. The main themes follow finding meaning in work and being there for someone who is struggling and are portrayed wonderfully. Only nitpicks are a few botched deliveries, occasional generic editing and on again off again pacing. Overall a powerful movie that blossoms right before your eyes

This is a beautifully made film. The whole package is very well put together. Although its quite a simple tale of a factory closing and the impact on its workforce , particularly the main characters , it doesn't lead you to the rosy promised land and instead focuses on the characters personalities and life problems. Its main strength lies in its casting , with Peter Gerety putting in a superb performance , ably backed up by Talia Shire and Billy Browm. If you like human interest films it's well worth watching.

It has beautiful and emotional idea but the acting is weak , weak scenario, and there is no good conversations or qoutes , bad direction.

Pleasantly interesting human-interest story centered on the theme of "Loss". Though the Loss here is prominently Work, the central characters, Allery, Walter & Iola also share deeper losses that will eventually bring them closer together. Sometimes you need to look inward to find solutions to Today's challenges, but deeper still to conquer the long-term impediments to True Happiness - the most enduring take-away from this little tale.

I am generally really hard on movies this is the first 10 star I have ever given, and I will tell you why. This movie touches on so many bases I will tell you what they are without giving any spoilers. Which is hard because I want to tell you my favorite parts but can't without ruining the story. This is a story about love, family, hard work, loss and kindness to your fellow man. I would add one more thing it had different races and even a transexual. None of this was to be P/C they were all in this because they were part of the story not forced in to just cover P/C bases. Proving what I have said all along you can have different races, genders and people who are of different sexual orientation if you write a good script in this case a great script. No one felt like they were put in this movie because they had to put them in there just to be P/C. They had two starring characters one white and one black and their race never came up why ? In reality not in P/C world if you make a friend of another race you don't see their race you see your friend. I am from a mixed family myself and I don't look at my family as a different race I see people I love. Let me be clear this movie isn't about race at all its about human beings and their stories. The fact that they wrote it this way and I thoroughly enjoy it Is sad and its happy its a roller coaster of emotions. I can't say anything else without giving up a part of the movie. I will just say this is a drama a well casted, a well written and a extremely well acting job by the whole cast I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
