Red Wing

Red Wing is a beautiful, heart-warming film set in wholesome Texas. It stars both well- known, talented actors and new, up and coming beginners that truly shine in their roles. The actors did a splendid job at portraying the simple, yet complicated personalities of each character. The storyline is wholesome, pure and a welcome change from the endless other films playing today that are saturated with the same plots and intense love scenes. Red Wing tells a different type of love story- it's a chronology of changing, unexpected love over time. The lead actors did a great job of carrying the audience through every emotion, helping you to "live" the pain, heartache, joy, and completion of Maddie and Francis. This film is highly recommended. It is appropriate for all viewers and is touching. Red Wing leaves a lasting impression on its audience and represents the real meaning of love. I would love to see a sequel to this soulful, passionately made film.

I'm so happy Red Wing was recommended to me to watch. It was such a beautiful nontraditional love story.

The directing and acting were fantastic. Frances Fisher and Bill Paxton are always a pleasure to watch and Luke Perry did a really nice job with "Carl Blanton". I wasn't too familiar with Joelle Carter's work before watching this but now I'll keep an eye out for her.

It portrays the true destruction that can occur when someones heart becomes hardened and the communication gets lost. I love to watch films that you can learn from and this is one of them!

A great film to watch with your loved ones.

If you're looking for a twist on the traditional romance, you'll love this film. The story will tug at your heartstrings, yet feel realistic regarding the complications that true love brings. Lots of sweeping cinematography and exciting performances make a memorable movie.

All the actors were wonderfully directed with delightful performances by Bill Paxton, Frances Fisher, Joelle Carter, and Luke Perry. I especially thought newcomer Breann Johnson was so charming as the main character of Maddie. She struck just the right notes of a strong, likable woman yet still uncertain of herself. That's a difficult balance, and it was so convincing!

Learn what it means to follow your heart and be inspired by this movie!

Yep. I liked this one a lot! Touching and honest and without all the regular blood-n-guts you see in lots of movies. Just regular folks having a tough time navigating family, faith, and True Love! Sure, there are some tense moments but nothing too extreme.

With so many big names, it's really no wonder this film is such a fulfilling watch! Bill Paxton does the "concerned father" thing so well and you really find yourself sharing in his emotions and concerns. And the young woman playing the lead actress was so great! She was elegant without being too fancy and was so easy to understand and relate to. And you'll probably recognize Luke Perry who does a great job of being a tough-as-nails cowboy. It's a love Story at it's core and shows that sometimes True Love is really hard!

Set in a beautiful farm country (I'm guessing Texas?), the blue skies and green fields make for a comfortable and familiar setting and you can almost see yourself out there assuming that you are not from a big city. Great locations all around, actually.

I really liked the acting and thought each actor brought something earnest and pure to the roles. Again, nothing crazy or over-the-top; just... I don't know. Regular? It was believable, I guess is what I'm saying. It portrayed the circumstances without making it too crazy.

This is a great movie to watch with your family (ages 12+ I'd guess) or maybe with a bunch of girlfriends with popcorn and your PJs on!

I found myself rooting for Love to find it's Way! But you'll have to watch it to see if it Love wins in the end!

I am such a fan of this film. I get so tired of the romantic comedies or other love stories that have an unrealistic portrayal of what a love story should be. This particular plot line follows Francis Riley (played by Glen Powell) who is brought to live in a trailer with his foster mother in Whitewright, Texas. The property that the trailer is on is owned by a husband and wife, Carl and Maddie Blanton (played by Luke Perry and Breann Johnson). Carl and Maddie have a tumultuous relationship, Francis Riley grows up to be a stud-muffin, and (without giving too many details away) the story progresses into a beautiful love between two people. No steamy sex scenes. This film is appropriate for all ages, and it has a simplistic beauty that I as an audience member want to see in a film.
