Hiding Victoria

I watched this movie, because I'm a sucker for down and out people finding themselves through new relationships, but I was very disappointed by almost every part of the production. The storyline IS good, but the writing is very predicable and the acting uninspired. The characters were mostly 2-dimensional, with the combative, misunderstood teen, an embarrassingly stereotypical gay couple and a party filled with beautifu and handsomelbackground actors. The only actor who sold me was Avery Sommers as the probation officer. At times I felt like I was watching a college assignment to create a Hallmark movie. But I do have to give them credit for a good try at dramatizing important issues.

As a United Kingdom registered psychotherapist working in Romania I highly recommend this film about forgiveness and letting go of the past. So good is it that I want all my clients to watch it.

So often people with a history of problems - particularly relating to abuse - hold on to their hatred and anger, never letting go. This film shows how even a person who has been very deep hurts can begin the step-by-step process of releasing themselves from the grip of the other person.

The film has plenty of action and evokes a variety of emotions. But it is not just about emotions. Even the person who doesn't show his/her emotions will find the film enjoyable.

Watch the film, enjoy it and be challenged.

My wife and I viewed this film at a private screening. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. It was serious, funny, heart-warming, and surprising. Great performances by all of the lead actors. Special kudos to the young actress who plays Victoria. The writer creates an awesome and unique storyline that anyone with trials and issues during life can relate to. The film draws you in will an exceptional ability to keep you engaged. I especially loved the the surprise revealed towards the end of this film. I understand the film was independently produced. But don't let that dissuade you from seeing this movie. Both my wife and myself are looking forward to seeing this film again on the big screen. My bet ... this movie is going to be a hit!

I saw Hiding Victoria in a focus group and it was AMAZING! I laughed, I cried, and was amazed by the acting and the twist at the end of the movie! It was AWESOME! Margo & Anita, and Todd, Michael & Avery were superb! Great movie! Can't wait to see it in the theater! The plot was so applicable for so many people in the world. This movie has something for everyone! Margo's tattoo was so cool and Anita Gillette was so wonderful as Althea. I loved them both! Todd & Michael (Vincent & Lenny) as the next door neighbors were great. They provided some comic relief and were great characters. Avery (Sarah) was perfect as Victoria's probation officer. The cinematography was beautiful. A message full of hope. The movie is right, the key to life lies within!

I think this screenplay is very well written. I recommend everyone to read it. Once the film comes out definitely make it the top of your list of must see films. In watching the Producer, Director and Director of Photography work I know this is going to be a powerful film. The beautiful cinematography, incredible location, and talented cast also will lead this film in being a success. It was managed,put together and organized well. The Writer/Directors vision has been brought to light and when the viewers see this piece it will evoke strong emotional responses due to its relevance to the human being today. Powerful, dramatic and simply wonderfully made. Good Job!
