Reach for Me

There aren't that many low budget movies out there that neither look nor feel cheap, but this certainly is one of them. The movie doesn't offer huge climaxes, or surprises, but rather offers a nice flow that knows how to take you with it.

You'll get to see a snapshot of the life of an old man and all the things that influence him. Sounds boring, but in fact, it is a very interesting character-heavy film. The persons are very believable and you'll soon forget that you're watching actors. This is basically the highest achievement a movie can reach. Seeing that this was delivered by such a small production is quite impressive. I was surprised to see LeVar Burton's name flashing up as the director in the credits. He sure did a great job on this one.

If you like movies that revolve around real life stories like "About Schmidt", then you might like this movie. I sure do. In fact, I can't really point much out that I would consider sub-standard, bad acting, or plot holes, so this one gets a 9/10.

This movie delivers such an amazing message about life without being predictable. So refreshing to see something that hasn't been done before yet still is so captivating. Very rare to see movies that can bond such drastic age groups of individuals and to do it in such a pure and genuine way.

I fell in love with All of the characters, you could really feel all of their emotions (both the good and the bad). This is a story that will touch home for many and is done in such a tasteful way. One of the best movies I have seen in years - recommended it to all of my friends! Absolutely fabulous!

It's nice to see a movie with people in it who are over the age of 22 and who probably won't end up on the front page of TMZ next week on their way to rehab. This film has a mature cast who does not disappoint.

Directed by LeVar Burton (yea the reading rainbow guy) Reach for Me is the story of a man at the end of his life who finds love. I thought it inspiring to see a story with wonderful rich and real characters brought to life on film.

This film is great for any age. It will resonate with anybody who still believes in love. I'd totally recommend it to anybody who likes grounded, character driving films that are done well.

A rather sad view of hospice care through the actions of a few individuals.

This movie was fantastic. Seymour Cassel was great as Alvin. The acting from everyone was outstanding. The story is simple but the film is powerful.

It's a shame that the film didn't get a wider release because it's a gem.
