Touch My Girl

I saw this film at Dances With Films in Santa Monica at the Laemmle Theater. I had no idea what to expect as I hadn't heard of it but I was going to several films during the festival and this one was just a last minute decision. This must have sold out cause I saw a few people sitting on the floor in the back. Christian Laursen was the director and visually this was really amazing to watch. So many pretty shots. Shaila Vaidya played Rebecca and was really likable so all the things that happened to her affected me. Robert McAtee played Dennis and was really scary and I loved to hate him. I actually felt sorry for this character near the end as he dealt an interesting hand and manipulated me as well as Rebecca! I don't want to give anything away but this story was really sad. I cried. I really enjoyed the movie although I thought the running time went a little long and the storyline with Rebecca and Mike could have been cut down. But overall it moved me and stuck with me for a couple of days. I recommend it to those who want something different than the typical quick cutting Hollywood film. A slower pace but if you give it a chance you may just be moved as well. The domestic violence theme may be hard to watch for some but Dennis reminded me of a few "not so nice" guys I've met in my past. So it seemed very real and a little crying I think was just what I needed at the time!

I adore the film, Touch My Girl, so much. It is absolutely fantastic. The story is so moving. It really gets to the core, to the deepest part of your heart. This film did an incredible job at bringing out the emotions they wanted you to feel. It made me happy, angry, sad, excited. And yes, it made me cry. The actors and actresses are all fantastic and each beautifully portrays the character they play. And the music is beautiful :) I get it stuck in my head all the time. The day this movie Becomes available to buy, I will definitely be purchasing it. Everyone should see this movie even just once. It could really change a person. Amazing film <3

Wounded love is a great portrayal of the life that many women, and men, go thorough in our society ................. we saw this nice movie at an screening and we truly recommend it

the main character the girl can't remember her name now is abused throughout her life by her father and then by her boyfriend , When she finds Mike, she realizes that she deserves a love with innocence, not alcohol and violence. It's a beautifully written story about the pain involved in the cycle of abuse and the hope at the end of the victim's tunnel. The movie made my wife cry and smile and fall in love with this mike guy , However, the movie is full of essential scenes and beautiful music and great acting it is worth watching

I thought this movie truly showed what unconditional love can do to help someone heal from such a horrible situation! This movie was thought provoking, inspiring and educational! Wounded Love is about how one man (a stranger) made a difference in a woman's life. He not only saved her from being attacked, he helped her face her past as well. We as a society needs to open our eyes to others and be there to help them. It just takes one person to change the life of a child (or adult) and through the one person, many lives can be changed! Christian was able to communicate this through his directing of Wounded Love. I hope that this movie inspires you to be that stranger that helps someone who is wounded. Be the one that changes another persons life. I give this movie 10 stars for both content, directing and acting! It's a MUST SEE!!!~Diana Joy~

Touch My Girl is a great portrayal of the life many women, and men, live everyday. Rebecca, played by Shaila Vaidya, is a girl who is dating Dennis, Robert McAtee, but finds a pure love in Mike, played by Christian Laursen. Rebecca is abused throughout her life by her father and then by her boyfriend Dennis. When she finds Mike, she realizes that she deserves a love with innocence, not alcohol and violence. It's a beautifully written story about the pain involved in the cycle of abuse and the hope at the end of the victim's tunnel. The movie runs a little on the long side. However, the movie is full of essential scenes and information and it'd be a shame to lose any of it for time constraint.
