    Not going to lie this was awesome

    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.

    Absolutely beautiful.

    12 Steps to Recovery is full of many emotions: love, despair, struggle, sadness, and some good laughs. There are several plot twists that keep the viewers engaged and wanting more. The cinematography is well done, with lots of aesthetically pleasing shots. Watching Josh go through his 12 step program to achieve a full recovery is heart wrenching. It makes you feel for addicts, their family, and their friends who care for them. It shows the true struggle behind addiction and getting to a place of recovery. It also brings the reality of the meetings and steps to life for viewers who may not have experienced anything like it before. I know this movie opened my eyes to addicts and their struggles. I was well pleased with this movie and would definitely watch it again. I will be sharing it with my loved ones!

    An emotional journey worth experiencing!!

    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!

    What's the main characters name in real life?!

    One of my friends posted online about this film and I wanted to give it a look. Josh is someone that a lot of people including myself can relate to. I enjoyed the emotion, the romance and SPICYNESS, the drama, the suspense. I don't think we learn enough about the struggle people and their families go through on a day-to-day basis when it comes to addiction. You could see in Josh's eyes throughout the movie that he was going through a lot and needed God. It would be awesome to have a 2nd movie to see what happens with Josh and Kate. I definitely recommend watching this film. I hope we see more Arizona films in 2024!

    Fascinating journey from addiction to sobriety

    Beautiful film about a young man's journey from the depths of desperation and despair to redemption and acceptance. Lovingly crafted, great story, and some wonderful performances, particularly by the lead actors. It follows an addict who Is struggling to put his life together after a deadly tragedy. My favorite scenes are between the addict and his mother who both deserve awards for this film. The scenes at the AA meetings are honest and realistic. It's all tied together with beautiful music and photography. A real gem of a movie! It is an engaging story with an important message, not to be missed!!
