Julia 17 -

This is a really ambitious film that feels so real and heartbreaking as we experience the main character Julia's life. It's one of the grittier indie films I've ever seen -- and oftentimes was tough to watch many of the things she goes through -- but throughout I always empathized with her. The acting by everyone was great and for this kind of film, real. And the soundtrack really enhanced everything we watched, helping to really frame this gritty, raw world. I was also very impressed that the star, Andreea, also wrote, directed and produced this.

This is an excellent movie from first-time director Andreea Boyer! The film has a great script and very emotional performances!

Julia 17 is a powerful film that mixes realism with a wonderful sense of poetry.

Julia is an outcast who searches the world for a truth she can believe in. But because it is a very real search, many of her travels lead to pain, turmoil and great difficulty. But we're with Julia for her journey. We care about her. While her quest for inner peace is not an easy one, it is relatable. In the end we're very much involved with Julia, hoping she finally finds what she seeks.

A film featuring fine work behind and in front of the camera. It's a story told with great passion and care. Bravo!

I thought the film was ok!!! It was shot well and the story is told... but Andreea boyer acting is what kept me in the movie... well done

Hats off to Andreaa Boyer who wrote directed and starred in this, what is a fairly ambitious film and story and pulls it off in an interesting and intriguing to watch manner. This movie may not be for everyone but for those who like daring and intriguing cinema this is worth the watch, as the film deals with some pretty taboo topics so for those who are sensitive you have been warned. Boyer stars as Julia a victim of abuse throughout her life and continues to spiral downwards at the film progresses.

Although a first time film it will be interesting see how Boyer's career progresses, this highly reminiscent of the films of Larry Clark such as "Kids" and "Ken Park" so if you enjoy that and can handle heavy topics this should be checked out.

Also a nice touch that Legendary Filmmaker Uli Lommel has a role in here as a film director.
