This Wretched Life

Frank Mosca hits the spot with his movie This Wretched Life... taking him over 8 years to finish, he takes his time making sure the plot is given what it deserves to ensure an amazing delivery. You want real? No more of the Hollywood view, you have to watch This Wretched Life. Excellent movie, real to life, and will take you down roads that you haven't yet traveled. This movie should be viewed from all, it is true to life, and it is Excellent!!! My only hope is that it hits the indie festivals so that people yearning for a real movie, one that is true to life can be seen... not your typical run of the mill film, it spins and turns in many directions, you feel for the lead actor, want to see him succeed, yet.. you walk down his path of trying to figure his life out. Watch it, you will be very glad you did.

I LOVED this movie. It was INCREDIBLE!! I have to say, I first went in wanting to see this movie only because I had heard about the producer, how he had spent years trying to get going..but once I actually sat down and watched it..I was just blown away. The characters..the plot..this movie should be on the big screens! Dr Lacy especially..that woman can act!!! Her personality, her expression, the way she phrases things..just wow!! I thought for sure someone with so much talent must be at least a *little* famous, but no, never heard of her before this movie. Was a little shocked. 10 out of 10 for plot, characters, planning, scenes, producer, and just over all being a fantastic movie that I really hope to see in the theater soon!!!

I LOVE THIS MOVIE! My friends and I laughed hysterically at times, and cried at others. We cannot stop talking about it. I just have to mention the story. What an original story this is. The plot is full of twists, leaving you not knowing what to expect, however it all comes together perfectly in the end. The dialogue is strong at times (super realistic), but it adds to the nutty drama surrounding some of the characters. There are more one liners here than the best of any stand up act. I would also like to point out some of the outstanding performances in this film... Dan Ball (Chris), Ande Cira (Ande), Frankie J. Mosca (Frankie), Chris Johnson (Nathan), Marc Proto (Crazy J.) & Sal Delucia (Chip); just fantastic acting here. The music (as others have mentioned) is in fact VERY awesome; WHO IS THIS "IN A CROWDED ROOM"? I want their CD! Hands-down, this movie deserves to become a cult classic. It is far too realistic to ever go mainstream, but I hope to see it do very very well independently. If you are looking to watch a great movie that will leave you talking and thinking, see this movie!

The script is witty and touching, and the performances of the leads and the supporting cast carry it off perfectly. The characters exist in their own little worlds that has the trappings of this distorted everyday life, in a way to make it at times comical. They are physical extensions of their environment, maintaining outward appearances as things are falling apart under the surface. It is truly a special film. It is one of those extraordinarily moving films that not only sweeps you away emotionally, but leaves you with a feeling appreciation. The film is about the want and need to escape, as these characters find ways to stray off their wretched path of the life. A life they have chosen and for some, the life they can't leave. At the end the movie gave me a true appreciation of what I have and what life has to offer.

What a mind blowing movie this is! The more I watched, the more I wanted to see, and the more I couldn't believe that someone finally made a movie like this. Great job director Frankie Mosca. It's not every day that a movie tells it like it is, and I'm sure it's not going to be easy to watch for some. The two strongest points "This Wretched Life" has to offer are the story\script and the acting. The story is as original as can be, and many of the actors are absolutely top notch. I'm sure there is much more to come from Frankie Mosca and a good amount of the cast here. What is Frankie's next movie? The editing and music are also very standout in this film; another user asked for a soundtrack, and I second that! In A Crowded Room; Amazing! Benjamin Chan; Amazing! Index Case; Amazing! Half Hazard, Ptates, Max Martin Amazing! With all that being said, find a copy of this somehow, and see it for yourself. I promise that you will relate to something in this movie big time. I watched it three times already!
