From Embers

Came into this film not sure what to expect after seeing a trailer but loved the main actors. It's a really attention grabbing story that any mother can relate too. It's a story of never giving up and protecting your loved ones. I wasn't sure how it was going to end or the end twist, but I was hooked.

From Embers is a really captivating movie that pulls you in from the start. It tells the story of two people, played by Matthew Morrison and Kara Wang, whose lives get tangled together in a way that feels both unexpected and emotional. What I liked most was how the film balances drama with moments that feel really real and relatable, without being over the top. The chemistry between the leads felt natural, which made their journey even more engaging. The story moves at a steady pace, keeping you interested but also giving you time to connect with the characters. Overall, it's a thoughtful and heartfelt film that's definitely worth watching if you like movies about relationships and personal growth. Not super flashy, but definitely leaves an impression.

I'm a sucker for good cinema and this one was a slow burn. Great cast and solid direction. I was impressed by the level of detail in the story and character development. The son was the hardest character for me and felt his pain and the mother as well. Go into this film with an open mind and be ready for a ride.

Saw this film with my girls and was thrown in for a deep story and twists. It was unexpected and sad. Loved the mother, Kara did an amazing job. Matthew of course is dreamy as always! The music was a fun touch and carried the mood. It gave me some La La Land vibes in a good way! Good date night film.

From Embers kept me guessing what was coming next. I absolutely loved the performances from leads and supports. Matthew Morrison was amazing in this! His chemistry with Kara Wang was great from their first scene to the last.

Kayla was great in this film as well and lit up the scene every time she appeared. The father and daughter bonding time was great to see and believable.

On a technical side, the production was great with really good cinematography and direction for all the actors. The world you see unfold is gripping and builds suspense well for a big climax.

Overall it was a good film, I recommend it.
