Better Than Love

It's not a great film, despite the raw material to be so. The film feels like it was rushed in production. But it's still worth a watch given that it's based on a true story. And Andrew Lawrence once again proves he's the most talented of the three Lawrence brothers. He's handsome, sure. But more importantly he's emotive and full of range. In one scene he's naive and innocent, and in the next scene, he's manipulative and disturbed. Yet it's all wrapped up into one seamless character. He quite literally saves the movie. In a lesser actor's hand, this could have gone comically wrong. Basically, I recommend this to any AL fans out there. Otherwise, it's a crapshoot as to whether or not you'll like it.

This is more than likely not what you might expect. With excellent performances all round, this hard-hitting drama shows the pervasive problem of opioid addiction and its consequences. The characters are so vividly drawn that you can't help but feel their plight on a visceral level. Definitely worth a watch.

This film sets a new standard for down to earth realism and depiction of a nasty industry. The script, direction and acting are very professional. The story line is gripping and suspenseful. The only downside to this film is that it is not a show for everyone. It is gripping and pretty raw. /still well worth watching

I love the films that leave me thinking long after I finished watching them. THIS is one of them. Don't ask your date to watch it with you though. Unless you are planning to spend the rest of the evening having deep discussions on what's wrong with the system and how to fix it. It's a brutal story presented in such a way that I stopped paying attention to acting or the way it was filmed. I think it all comes nicely together to make the story be the main focus. You might think you know how the film will end based on everything you've watched so far....you will be wrong. It's a roller-coaster story where you don't know at which point the wheels will come off. Two thumbs up to the writer and director!

This film struck home to me as somebody who had dealt with addiction and has lost friends to addiction. The lead actor does an incredible job of showing you the realness of addiction and the different components of living with it. There's wonderful directing and cinematography that compliment the performances. Worth the watch!
