My summary says it all this movie is a masterpiece a great work of art it really brings out the best in all the characters its not to sleezy, not to corny, and not even to graphic its a mix of a lot of different aspects of life, love, family and relationships, i think its a great movie considering we go through all these aspects in our daily lives its worth a watch and even more then once give it a Perfect 10, even if ur not a fan of dramas or independent Canadian films u will b amazed at wut this movie brings to the table if u ever have seen Love and Basketball and adjusted ur life accordingly u will watch this and do the same its a masterpiece that touches not only your mind, ur heart and ur body but most importantly it touches ur soul

This movie holds true, i think. It shows how it really is there. there is a lot of true essence ,they keep it real. I was so impressed with the acting and the filming, acting , well it' rough, but the filming. it's like it's not even a movie. i hope you all see this movie. it teaches great values and has a lot of potential. I thought buying this movie was a mistake. it took me awhile to be able to watch it and think, oh yeah OK i get it now, i see how it is, i see what is going on. for most people it does take them awhile to watch a movie so many times and get it. This movie will blow you a way that's why i gave it a ten. when you get the movie, you should go to the special features, they don't have a lot on there, but it's basically someones life changed, that's why the movie was made, to show what happened, but i think it's great way to teach people lessons and to encourage what not to do,

:::SOMETIMES THE WRONG CHOICE HAPPENS TO BE THE ONLY ONE:::. ::Please read the summary of the movie first.::

This is a very powerful film that delves into the mean unforgiving streets of Vancouver's Downtown East Side.

It follows the lives of a First Nations brother and sister struggling to survive and feed their drug addictions.

I found the film to be real, gritty and true to life.

Being First Nations I empathize with the filmmaker's vision and commend the producers as well as actors and crew for making such a realistic look at our society on the mean streets of Vancouver.

I feel this is a universal story that can take place in any Canadian/American city.

A very interesting "slice of life." This film isn't preachy, but simply shows us life as it is. AMAZING performances - A lot of humour for a film about drugs and prostitution! Reminds us of the little funny things in life :-)

I suspect that Nathaniel Geary will be a new voice in Canadian Cinema. I think some writer directors can have problems as they are better at one thing than the other. Clearly not the case here as we have dialogue that rings so true. I would suspect some improvisation as some of the dialogue is almost too natural!

Excellent.

This would be on my 100 best movie list if I could just get it together to make one. I saw it years back and it just keeps coming back to me. I would love to see it again, and can't find it anywhere.
