Great movie! Excellent acting and story line! I give it a 10. The Olmos did it again!
This movie had me on the edge of my seat hoping things would work out for Filly.
It showed how much discrimination there still is in this country.
Really sad what drugs can do to a mother's judgment. Drugs clouding a persons everything and amongst that, she put her own daughter's life in jeopardy.
I was really glad to see that talent runs in the Olmos family. Like father like son!
Watching this movie is a must. I need to buy it and add it to my movie library!

The funny thing on how I discovered this movie was when I saw a trailer for it attached to "Olympus Has Fallen" when I saw that movie back in March of this year. I remember after that, I had to look it up and I was able to that this movie is an indie film. I got lucky that it was released in my neck of the woods when I looked it up to see where it was playing.
I have to say that this a good independent film, but not a great one. There were some flaws in some areas like the ending for one thing, even though I see what they tried to do, but it felt a LITTLE awkward, not a lot. Same with a little romantic subplot that didn't really go anywhere.
Other than that, I liked the music of the movie. Also, the acting was pretty good, especially from Jenni Rivera. It was a real shame what happened to her. She died before this movie was released. I wonder if she even got to see it because I read that this movie was shown at film festivals before getting a wider release.

I always found IMDb a serious site but i begin to loose sight of that.
Of course that's not the flaw of the site or the makers/owners. But the sort of people that give a rating to a film or show doesn't say anything to me anymore.
Just read the handful of reviews on this and don't look at this absurd rating. This film has soul and emotion and beauty and art in it.
Don't gonna spoil anything. Just please , watch it. it's a great film with a warm hart.
Very good performances from all the actors. Thus i also do not share the opinion from the end rating so far.

If you get a chance, watch this movie!!
First of all you don't need to like rap music in order to like this movie, i really enjoyed the tracks but it goes far beyond music! The plot is not like extremely original or twisted, but it feels like everything just fits together. Whats just amazing here, is the character development! I believed all the feelings the characters had and the reactions to different situations, which also requires good acting!
Filly Brown is a movie with a lot of love, heart, passion and great music!
I do not understand the 4,8 rating at all, read the other reviews here and watch yourself!
