    What's Important!

    This film deals with the importance of connecting truthfully with others and facing the truth about oneself. The four main characters gave some strong performances and the photography was very good with aerial views of Philadelphia along with many identified locales. A love letter to the city.

    Powerful coming of age drama

    Awesome movie! Ralph Celestin delivers a beautiful film that digs deep but also has a feel good factor to it. The two lead actors give memorable performances and perfectly embody the quest of identity through a very touching romance.

    Well Crafted Indie Drama

    A really strong cast, which is something you don't always see in an indie film. The story holds up throughout and there are several touching moments. This is a "throwback" of sorts to romantic dramas of the past, framed by tragedy and characters having to overcome. Well done by the cast and filmmakers - check it out!

    Set in the heart of Philly

    Boston to Philly ain't your regular flick. It's a gripping indie ride that spins a tale of friendship, redemption, and self-discovery. Set in the heart of Philly, this joint hooked me right in, showcasing why indie films are my jam. The lead actors? Straight-up chemistry. You can feel it, adding that realness to their characters. The director? A storytelling wizard, keeping the crowd locked in with a mix of humor and heartfelt moments, smooth like butter. This movie is a gem for those craving a deep, character-driven drama. It's a nod to the storytelling game and the lasting ties that carve our paths.
