Red Wing

I am such a fan of this film. I get so tired of the romantic comedies or other love stories that have an unrealistic portrayal of what a love story should be. This particular plot line follows Francis Riley (played by Glen Powell) who is brought to live in a trailer with his foster mother in Whitewright, Texas. The property that the trailer is on is owned by a husband and wife, Carl and Maddie Blanton (played by Luke Perry and Breann Johnson). Carl and Maddie have a tumultuous relationship, Francis Riley grows up to be a stud-muffin, and (without giving too many details away) the story progresses into a beautiful love between two people. No steamy sex scenes. This film is appropriate for all ages, and it has a simplistic beauty that I as an audience member want to see in a film.

While definitely not the standard type of film for the teenage demographic (myself), there was something about this love story that captivated me, and speaks to all audiences. Besides being beautifully shot in a setting so breathtaking you could point an iphone at it and call it cinematography, a talented cast really brought this narrative to life for me. This unique and at first unsettling tale of two lovers was compelling enough on its own, but stand out performances from Frances Fisher and Joelle Carter as the love story foils also caught my eye. This turned out to be the perfect cathartic type of family for me and my family to watch over the holidays. Not over-cheery, not over- dramatic, just real and compelling!

increible! A film worth to eulogize.

Definitely the forcefulness, intrigue and argument cause the desire to watch it again. There is an ''intrahistoria'' (as we say in Spain) hidden behind each character that contributes to its excellence and provokes mixed feelings.

Rather unpredictable from the beginning to the ending credits, it is noticeable the hard work that stays behind this greatly interesting movie. The atmosphere, the environment, and the situation in which the main characters have found themselves causes a truly stunning effect.

A love story highly recommendable.

I'm so happy Red Wing was recommended to me to watch. It was such a beautiful nontraditional love story.

The directing and acting were fantastic. Frances Fisher and Bill Paxton are always a pleasure to watch and Luke Perry did a really nice job with "Carl Blanton". I wasn't too familiar with Joelle Carter's work before watching this but now I'll keep an eye out for her.

It portrays the true destruction that can occur when someones heart becomes hardened and the communication gets lost. I love to watch films that you can learn from and this is one of them!

A great film to watch with your loved ones.

I am not a fan of romantic films and, maybe, this "pathetic" can be not fair. But, for me, "Red Wing" is a good film in its first part and result of unrealistic story in the second. Sure, it is not original but the idea of incest and the not most inspired use of the story of George Sand are the lead sins. The good points - the performances, first breann Johnson, frances Fisher , Luke Perry and Austin Harrod. Not the most inspired option - Glen Powell. But, in essence, a good try.
