Pieces of a Dream

The writers of "Pieces of a Dream" did an excellent job of connecting story lines. I thought the characters were dynamic and real. Everyone in the film was someone you know or have seen. As a viewer, I could sympathize with some characters, and empathize with others. I found myself at times laughing and crying. Most of all, this film has ignited some thought-provoking discussion and debate. Everyone who I know has seen this film has walked away questioning the happenings in our communities and the world.I sat next to my teenage son who was captivated by the events. He enjoyed the film so much, he purchased two tickets for the next day's showing. He invited a friend to accompany him the second day. This is strong evidence that "Pieces of a Dream" has wide appeal. There were teenagers, as well as adults and seniors in the audience. I also noticed quite a racially diverse audience on opening night. I believe that this film should be shown to a wider audience across the country. This is a must-see film.

Pieces of a Dream is a film that makes you think. It put some things into perspective for me personally. There were questions in my mind that I thought only I thought about and Pieces of a Dream attempted to answer some of those questions. I cared about each character and related to them in one way or another. I am a single mother so the character I related to the most was the single mother raising her two boys. Some of the issues that the young mother had are some of the same issues that I deal with myself (in one way or another). I really enjoyed this film and would recommend it to everyone. In my opinion, adults and teens alike will benefit from watching this film. Kudos to everyone involved with bringing this very important piece of art to life.

The actors in Pieces of a Dream deliver dynamic performances. Skee Skinner pulled it off. This film has a great deal of symbolism, which hopefully will jump start the movement of conscious films being produced again. The ending was totally unexpected and still stays with me. The artist seemed to be a simple character that many can identify with. Coop is the real deal! This guy reminds me of the Nino Brown character in New Jack City from the 90's. Golden had a troubled past which I thought she had gotten over when she became an adult and mother. But like many issues we face in the world today the problems of society came knocking at her door. All in all, this is a film that is a must see. Way 2 go!

This is a powerful drama that is expertly written, masterfully directed and impeccably acted. I felt this movie emotionally, spiritually as well as physically (there are moments of gripping images). This is definitely not a movie to see if you are looking for humor, although some dialogue is so "real"you have to laugh. It is encouraging to see a consciousness raising movie. This is a movie for those tired of making light of our lives. It deals with issues faced by an urban community in a hard hitting manner yet written with such a subtlety of layers that it leaves you thinking days later. A must see for mature, or maturing, maybe especially maturing, thinking audiences. Indeed "does sin have weight?"

This is an extremely interesting story and the actor who plays Coop is about as good as anybody I've ever seen. The way the different stories were told and how they are separate, and yet coincide, was also interesting. To see this movie is to like it a lot. The story flows to the point that you don't feel you're watching a film. I recommend it.

You'll see some very good performances and some thought-provoking ideas. I'm still thinking about what the film had to say, and I was completely entertained. All of us must choose sides in the battle between good and evil; there's no middle road. We are shown a good illustration of this fact. Worth seeing.
