Famous

I actually really liked this one and there's nothing fake about me or my opinion. Especially resonates if you ever lived in LA. Different Strokes for different folks.

I know a lot of work and heart went into making this. It looks like everyone cared and wanted to creat something moving. From the trailer. I personally wasn't moved to watch the entire film. I will watch it as to not be disrespectful. More to come.

This movie was a stage play that was so creatively shot, that alone is reason enough to see this film. Add in the incredibly powerful and important message and great acting makes this a must see indie film.

After seeing this staged in Los Angeles and absolutely loving it, I was nervous to see its realization in film format. It's like reading a book and seeing the film after, right? Rarely going to be a positive transition.

That is why this was such a unique experience! It made me so happy that the powerful story that I saw on stage had the same strong impact on me as a film.

I have seen other projects done by this creative team, and they consistently have a strong social impact, while keeping me raptly entertained I'm definitely going to keep watching.

Famous, directed by Michael Leoni, is a powerful cinematic adaptation of the stage play that dives deep into the dark side of fame and the personal costs associated with it.

The film is an emotional rollercoaster, effectively capturing the raw intensity of its subject matter. Leoni's direction shines as he masterfully blends elements of theater and film, creating a unique viewing experience that feels both immediate and immersive.

The performances are stellar, with the cast displaying remarkable chemistry and depth. They vividly portray their characters' struggles, making the audience feel every moment of pain and triumph. The narrative tackles heavy themes, including abuse and trauma within the entertainment industry, compelling viewers to confront uncomfortable truths.

Its impactful storytelling and emotional weight make it a must-watch for anyone interested in the complexities of fame and personal integrity.
