Plight

What a great little indie film this was! I was able to catch this film when it came to our small town film festival and my wife and I were fortunate enough to be at a screening where the filmmakers were in attendance. Perhaps it was my naivety but I was astonished to hear how small their crew was and the budget of course was much smaller than it looked. There are so many excellent films out there and this one in particular stuck with me. It is an indie but you wouldn't know it by the quality of cinematography or the acting or even the storyline. The biggest indicator was that I didn't recognize any of the actors. However, I must say that they were very convincing. The music also felt very professional and the entire production felt top notch. Needless to say, my hat's off to the filmmakers for this fun little film that kept me guessing all the way through. A wonderful night out for me and the wife! We will certainly be back.

Me and my husband stumbled upon this movie on Amazon Prime as it one of the films that was tagged as "New". This has to be one of the best finds that we have had the pleasure of discovering. We admittedly got ahead of ourselves before we realized that we had to take our foot off the gas and allow the layers of the story to be peeled back in its own time. Just when we thought we knew how this film was going to go, BAM, there were these twists and turns that took us by surprise and were nowhere near the plot that we had mapped out in our heads. It was so well thought out and such a great indie film. You can tell everyone involved really took their time with this one.

We watched the film after its release on Amazon prime after hearing about it from a friend and we were on the edge of our seats throughout the movie. It has a captivating story line with plenty of thought provoking and underlying social commentary. Clever undertow of current issues including healthcare and weapons, very relevant in these times. Although we have not seen the actors in other films, the cast was well chosen and the acting was excellent. I would highly recommend the film to anyone looking for a thrilling watch. We are looking forward to seeing other films from the talented director.

This film came to our town during our annual film festival and I must say it far exceeded my expectation.

My wife and I always try to make an effort to support the community festival that seems to grow bigger and bigger every year. Usually there are some cute, fun films that make you laugh but the slate they brought in this year was amazing with Plight at the top of the list for my wife and I.

The filmmakers were there afterwards answering questions. They made the trip out which we appreciated. To hear their process it made my fondness for the film rise even more. The film turned out to cost a fraction of what I would have guessed. It was thrilling from the first sequence to the last. Keeps you guessing, tear-jerks and entertains throughout. Sure, the film had a message but I appreciated that nothing seemed out of whack or forced. The story was very compelling and the performances nailed the mark. This was a very tight film about real people with real problems and real questions. Can't say the same for most of what's out there today.

5 stars 👍

I was lucky enough to experience the premiere in St. Francis, KS. The director/writer had a Q&A and it was great to hear the behind-the-scenes and stories. Very refreshing to see an original movie with no remake material or flashy special effects. The acting was good and it was nice to see the international connection and close personal parallels with the characters. There were definitely some surprises and twists that made it a unique movie-going experience. Lots of drama and suspense, well worth watching! If you're looking for an exciting film with original content and some poignant connections, give this a try!
