Lorelei

This movie was better than I expected. There are flaws but they don't ruin the film. Pablo Schreiber is very good as the biker released from prison after 15 years and immediately getting back together with his high school girlfriend. Jena Malone is outstanding in that role as the girl who had trouble moving on and is now a broke, disillusioned single mother of 3 working as a motel maid. Their roles seem to shift as Schrieber's character goes from resisting temptations from his old biker friends to becoming a reluctant but responsible father figure for his girlfriend's children while she seems to be getting more unhinged and less responsible. At times the film seems to overdo the problems it throws at this family in a short period of time but the convincing acting from Schreiber, Malone and the child actors keep it interesting.

Lovely shot film ,which is not your stereotypical tale.

It's moving thanks to the performances of Malone & Schreiber, ably supported by the three child actors.

First of all I love the casting. Who says life it's easy ? A story of redemption, dreams, family, problems and love. Because love conquers all. A Beautiful Independent Movie.

Jena Malone and Pablo Schreiber play some of the most believable characters I've seen in a while. It's a gritty family drama with a strong currently of restoration and rebuilding....but in a way that avoids cheese or schmaltz.

I think "Lorelei" shared a fresh perspective on how you can always get a second chance at life no matter what. Very hopeful story.
