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.
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!
I really enjoyed Ralph Celestin's "Boston to Philly". Throughout its run, some poignant points are made about heartbreak, friendship, and loss. It also makes great use of Philadelphia's beautiful scenic views, even adding a little locator at the bottom to remind us where we are. Also love the romantic scenes between Philly and Boston, where you can really tell both actors had a ton of chemistry. I also enjoyed Celestin's use of repeating transitions, back and forth, from present day to a traumatizing amount from the past.
Things get heavy, intense heart pounding moments with gunshot wounds, lead to more personal moments with Boston and Willy G. Celestin has an assured hand, balancing all of these dramatic moments that are woven throughout, without ever losing sight of the characters or their struggles. There's a truly powerful scene with a church choir later in the film, that reflects the yearning and hope of its story.
