Red Wing

Twisted but believable. This movie will take you on an exploration of love and moral ground! Would love to see what Patricia Carpenter has in store for us next!

I am not a fan of romantic films and, maybe, this "pathetic" can be not fair. But, for me, "Red Wing" is a good film in its first part and result of unrealistic story in the second. Sure, it is not original but the idea of incest and the not most inspired use of the story of George Sand are the lead sins. The good points - the performances, first breann Johnson, frances Fisher , Luke Perry and Austin Harrod. Not the most inspired option - Glen Powell. But, in essence, a good try.

I am such a fan of this film. I get so tired of the romantic comedies or other love stories that have an unrealistic portrayal of what a love story should be. This particular plot line follows Francis Riley (played by Glen Powell) who is brought to live in a trailer with his foster mother in Whitewright, Texas. The property that the trailer is on is owned by a husband and wife, Carl and Maddie Blanton (played by Luke Perry and Breann Johnson). Carl and Maddie have a tumultuous relationship, Francis Riley grows up to be a stud-muffin, and (without giving too many details away) the story progresses into a beautiful love between two people. No steamy sex scenes. This film is appropriate for all ages, and it has a simplistic beauty that I as an audience member want to see in a film.

If you're looking for a twist on the traditional romance, you'll love this film. The story will tug at your heartstrings, yet feel realistic regarding the complications that true love brings. Lots of sweeping cinematography and exciting performances make a memorable movie.

All the actors were wonderfully directed with delightful performances by Bill Paxton, Frances Fisher, Joelle Carter, and Luke Perry. I especially thought newcomer Breann Johnson was so charming as the main character of Maddie. She struck just the right notes of a strong, likable woman yet still uncertain of herself. That's a difficult balance, and it was so convincing!

Learn what it means to follow your heart and be inspired by this movie!

Red Wing is a beautiful, heart-warming film set in wholesome Texas. It stars both well- known, talented actors and new, up and coming beginners that truly shine in their roles. The actors did a splendid job at portraying the simple, yet complicated personalities of each character. The storyline is wholesome, pure and a welcome change from the endless other films playing today that are saturated with the same plots and intense love scenes. Red Wing tells a different type of love story- it's a chronology of changing, unexpected love over time. The lead actors did a great job of carrying the audience through every emotion, helping you to "live" the pain, heartache, joy, and completion of Maddie and Francis. This film is highly recommended. It is appropriate for all viewers and is touching. Red Wing leaves a lasting impression on its audience and represents the real meaning of love. I would love to see a sequel to this soulful, passionately made film.
