On the Corner

This movie holds true, i think. It shows how it really is there. there is a lot of true essence ,they keep it real. I was so impressed with the acting and the filming, acting , well it' rough, but the filming. it's like it's not even a movie. i hope you all see this movie. it teaches great values and has a lot of potential. I thought buying this movie was a mistake. it took me awhile to be able to watch it and think, oh yeah OK i get it now, i see how it is, i see what is going on. for most people it does take them awhile to watch a movie so many times and get it. This movie will blow you a way that's why i gave it a ten. when you get the movie, you should go to the special features, they don't have a lot on there, but it's basically someones life changed, that's why the movie was made, to show what happened, but i think it's great way to teach people lessons and to encourage what not to do,

:::SOMETIMES THE WRONG CHOICE HAPPENS TO BE THE ONLY ONE:::. ::Please read the summary of the movie first.::

I was strolling through the bookstore one night, and being a fan of Katherine Isabelle I spotted her face.. well half a face on the cover. I had to pick this up ! This movie was moving and very real life not like all the other fake ones out this year. Independent Canadian Movies have been better that the movies that have made theatres. The prostitution and all the drugs just made it more depressing and made you shudder at the thought that it could happen to anyone, and your living it now. Rent this movie everyone, If you are 14+ and have an open mind, step away from the new blockbuster and find this on the bottom shelf and grab it.

I've watched this movie several times since 2003. I've recommended it to several parents who have children involved with drug abuse and it's helped to give a reality check to people who think that drug usage is a joke. In the GTA of Ontario, I see a lot of drug usage. The entertainment industry and even some cultures seem to glorify such use and lead people down the wrong path, a path that's very difficult to get out of no matter how much you want out.

On The Corner touches on these issues and is portrayed in a raw, honest and pure way. I've also spoken to people who work at homeless shelters and drug outreach programs who say that they see the things portrayed in this movie everyday.

I highly recommend this movie!

My summary says it all this movie is a masterpiece a great work of art it really brings out the best in all the characters its not to sleezy, not to corny, and not even to graphic its a mix of a lot of different aspects of life, love, family and relationships, i think its a great movie considering we go through all these aspects in our daily lives its worth a watch and even more then once give it a Perfect 10, even if ur not a fan of dramas or independent Canadian films u will b amazed at wut this movie brings to the table if u ever have seen Love and Basketball and adjusted ur life accordingly u will watch this and do the same its a masterpiece that touches not only your mind, ur heart and ur body but most importantly it touches ur soul

A very interesting "slice of life." This film isn't preachy, but simply shows us life as it is. AMAZING performances - A lot of humour for a film about drugs and prostitution! Reminds us of the little funny things in life :-)

I suspect that Nathaniel Geary will be a new voice in Canadian Cinema. I think some writer directors can have problems as they are better at one thing than the other. Clearly not the case here as we have dialogue that rings so true. I would suspect some improvisation as some of the dialogue is almost too natural!

Excellent.
