Featured review
I rented this and was very surprised by how good it was.
The writing was so strong and the actors took those words and soared. There is not one false note. It felt like a CASSAVETTES film. Honesty on screen is what I look for in films.
This film felt like real life. Real time. I could relate to these characters. Feel their pain.
Their stories were compelling. I couldn't take my eyes of the screen
My favorite performances were Lisa Gay Hamilton and the late Howard Rollins.
They moved me to tears. I hope this movie gets to be seen by others who are struggling with addiction. The message finally got to me and it is interesting that it came to me in the guise of a movie. I am now going out and buying the DVD and the play that the film is based on.
Thank you to the film makers.
