I really enjoyed watching Logan. He was seriously amazing as Joshua in 12 Steps to Recovery. He made the whole addiction and recovery thing feel so real, like you could totally feel his struggles. Watching him try to stay strong but still deal with all this pain was super relatable, especially if you know what it's like to face challenges head on. Clemente was great as well. He crushed his role, bringing some serious depth to the storyline. This film could've easily went into another path, however Logan and Clemente made the script pop and kept bringing me back in for more. Let's just say I've watched this film 3 times already...and will watch again.
12 Steps to Recovery left a big impact on me. Josh's performance as Joshua is absolutely incredible. From the very start, when he's involved in a robbery gone wrong that leads to his brother Anthony's death, you can see the pain and regret in his eyes. Josh makes you feel every bit of Joshua's suffering and his desperate need to make things right. His portrayal is so real and raw that I couldn't take my eyes off the screen.
The film does a great job of showing Joshua's relationships with the people around him, especially his mom, Melissa. Their scenes together are some of the most touching parts of the movie. You can feel the love and the pain between them, and it's clear that they have amazing chemistry. As someone who's super close with my own mom, these moments really hit home.
Another part of the movie that I loved was the support group scenes. They show different characters like Jason and Deborah, who are also dealing with their own struggles. These scenes felt so genuine and heartfelt, and Josh's performance really shines here. You can see Joshua's vulnerability and his determination to change, which made me root for him even more. The relationship between Joshua and Kate is also really interesting. Their interactions are full of tension and emotion, reflecting the challenges of rebuilding trust. This film shows the importance of love, support, and the strength to keep going, no matter how tough things get. I definitely recommend it!

As an older mom who has seen her fair share of life's ups and downs, "12 Steps to Recovery" hit home in a way few films do. This heartfelt drama tells the story of Joshua, a man battling addiction and seeking redemption, and it does so with such authenticity and emotion. Watching Joshua, I saw not just an actor, but a person struggling with the weight of his past mistakes and trying desperately to make amends. Joshua captures the raw pain and desperation of a man at his lowest point, and his journey towards recovery is both moving and inspiring. His portrayal is a masterclass in acting, filled with moments of intense emotion and quiet reflection. As a mother, I found myself empathizing with Joshua's struggles and cheering for his triumphs. 12 Steps to Recovery is a deeply moving film that offers a realistic and compassionate look at addiction and recovery. Joshua was a must-watch for anyone who appreciates powerful storytelling and exceptional acting. This film is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the enduring power of love and forgiveness. I highly recommend it.
This was such a heartfelt and touching film! I especially connected with the tender moments that were shared between Josh and his mom. Ryan Watson did an excellent job of not sugarcoating the harsh realities of addiction, yet still leaving viewers with a message of inspiration and renewal. This film has the potential to resonate with a wide audience, whether or not they share the same beliefs, as it ultimately celebrates the triumph of the human spirit and the possibility of redemption. "12 Steps to Recovery" effectively explores the inner turmoil and external challenges that individuals face on their path to recovery. The film doesn't preach; instead, it inspires viewers to reflect on the power of faith and community support in overcoming addiction. A must-see!
Incredible story of pulling out of an nose-dive of addiction and loss. Definitely recommend seeing this if you or a loved one are struggling to get through addiction. You really find yourself relating to these characters and feeling the roller-coaster of emotions/trials they're going through as you watch. Perfect example of a slow battle with addiction that can be lost with any trial we are faced with. The romance and the overall storyline are excellent with plot twists to keep you on your toes. Excellent work by all cast members and crew. There's really a lot to say about the film but it's better if you watch it and see for yourself. ENJOY!
