Shredded

This film truly moved me and brought me to tears. It's rare to see a film that has such heart and humanity, while not steering away from being honest about the rocky road towards healing, both of body, mind and spirit. The directing, acting performances and writing were grounded and real- and the genuine connection between the leads really made me think about how connected we all are to one another, and that it's through relationship and supporting each other that we can thrive. Also, the film was beautifully shot! It's a heartfelt and moving story that I highly recommend, and one i won't forget.

SHREDDED is a compelling drama that reminds us of the fundamental healing power of shared experiences and the blessings of unexpected friendship.

A honest portrayal of interpersonal relationships in this digital world, where a cup of coffee and persistence can prevail.

A story of personal victory, courage and letting go of all you once believed. Showing a path forward from personal trauma and finding hope when you thought yourself empty.

Breathing each breath, feeling each emotion, then exhaling to let them be freed. SHREDDED is an engaging film that allows the viewer to participate in the climax of bare emotions.

I am not a "cryer"; I cried - So good!

A true triumph in indie filmmaking.

I was so fortunate to be able to attend the premier of this film, and I must say what a RIDE!

A very introspective and modern telling of the age-old tale of two strangers connected by pain and trauma who are perhaps divinely brought together to heal each other in a way that only they can.

This story had an ending I didn't fully expect, but was so warmed and comforted by.

The chemistry was lovey, the writing and scene work were so authentic, and I genuinely enjoyed the filmography and the role it played in furthering the plot.

A brave and bold artistic expression of real life events that shaped the reality of the film's creators. Who could ask for a more cathartic piece of cinematic art? Bravo.

This movie had me right from the start - Cancer is not a subject that any of us want to face, however, these individuals faced their journey in a beautiful vulnerable way that engaged me.

The message of hope (maybe not recovery) is a lesson learned on living life fully.

What developed between the two characters is more than a Hollywood Movie it provides us an insight into life and the detours we often must take to get to our spot on the map.

The cancer journey is an emotional and complex process, and this documents that with extreme grace, compassion and empathy.

The message that one cannot run away from life but must run with it has changed the way I proceed each day accepting the good, bad, and sometimes ugly.
