Nineteen Summers

This is an indie film with a big heart. Nineteen Summers boasts some great performances by its leads, especially Emonjay Brown and Terri Abney. It tackles tough subjects without providing easy answers, and the lead characters are complicated and human. Excited to see what comes next for these filmmakers.

Good film. This is worth a watch. Director Rod Scott does a nice job telling the compelling and emotional story of a 19 year old De'Andres' journey to survive and find a better life. The odds are against him and his success and the film delivers in very real clarity. Everyone, not matter of their background, will be able to relate, or at least understand, the characters and situations. Many of the themes have been told in other movies but they play well here. Worth a watch.

This a sad fuqkin movie, don't even know how come i've watched it the whole way through. Same old story to teach young homies who like drugs guns and hiphop that they should get a new lifestyle and horrrors of the 'hood'. good visuals and all but boring and annoying script

Emonjay Brown gives a very authentic performance as DeAndre in this very real coming-of-age film. The pacing of this film and structure interested me, drawing the viewer into the entanglements of the so-called justice system with the lead character so you feel you're experiencing your own one life stopped, powerless against forces on both sides of the law, yet striving none the less to make one's own life. The ending leaves much to think about, with a hauntingly beautiful final sequence fleeing toward a foregone conclusion. The chapter breaks are poetically named and evoke an auteur's sensibility about his story.

This movie started off cool and it seems like they ran out of money towards the middle story didn't make sense at times actually 94% of the time it didn't make sense like what was the point of half the story half the time it felt like things happened because it seemed like it was a good excuse for something major to happen
