Lost Fare

So i seen this with a 4.8 rating and almost past it up.. But indie films can be passed up because we all look for big names big plots big explosions and so on.. But i will say glad i watched ,full of cliches and average to a few great moments of acting the story is powerful and the script was decently written..its a nice break from the everyday blockbusters they shove down our throat ... Dont pass this one up.. You will enjoy

I was very moved by this film, with its well-crafted mixture of gritty realism and magical realism. Exceptionally touching.

Bruce Logan is a world-famous director, cinematographer, speaker, writer, colorist, and special effects wonder. His first film job was on Stanley Kubrick's classic 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY and -- he blew up the Death Star in the first STAR WARS film!

Out now is Bruce's new film - smaller in scope but large in emotional resonance.

"Lost Fare" is based on true events and characters. An 11 year old disabled girl, routinely pimped out by her prostitute mother, is saved by a suicidal cab driver. Together, they go on a journey of redemption that forever changes their lives.

Well done, Logan and your creative team!

After watching Lost Fare on Amazon, I checked out its website and several of the interviews with the cast and director. I was pleasantly surprised to learn the film was inspired by the abusive childhood of the original writer and details both the dark and light sides of her life, especially they way she learned the value of time and how to make the most out of every moment of every day. In spite of the film's micro budget, it looks amazing. Great ensemble cast, especially from the story's lead, Alexis Rosinsky -- who's already won several awards for her performance. She plays an abused 11 year old that's been forced into prostitution by her mother's pimp. To me, this little gem is what indy filmmaking is all about, original stories told with a unique vision.

Lost Fare very likely to be the worst film of 2018. This is a shame because it is made by an accomplished filmmaker involved in many great films over decades & the movie does has some attractive and memorable cinematography.

However, the script is appalling:

• unbelievable dialogue, including many lines that have never been uttered by a real person
• spelt-out conclusions. The audience for this type of movie is going to want to work out the meaning of this film themselves (and will have the ability to do so)
• verbalized backstory
• plot that is fundamentally too complex
• unintentionally funny.

The actors didn't stand a chance.

This movie had some great elements. However I really could not give this film more than 3 stars. It's missing so much depth. The story ends and i have more questions than answers. It's based on a true story so I was intrigued with this sad premise of the film. I have tried finding more details of the real story online but came up empty. I wonder how much was creative licence and how much was in fact true. The movie ends and it gives some info about the movie it's based on, she has a muscular dystrophy and is still alive, no further information on any of the other characters.

Was it heartwarming like other reviews said. Not really. Would i recommend this movie? Not really. Would i watch it again? No. This movie just fell short.
