      Kevin C 1982 delves deeply into the inception of the crack epidemic by centering on a modest, working-class family that, despite facing immense challenges, never truly broke apart. This resilience is credited to the indefatigable and courageous Tim Brown (Hill Harper). Determined not to let the drug or its distributors rob him of all he holds dear, Tim fights for his beloved wife Shanae (Sharon Leal), his bright daughter, Maya (Troi Zee), and his aspirations of owning a small business. Watch it! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/23 Full Review Chris S This drama is deeply impactful and emotive. The portrayals by the cast, especially Hill Harper as the devoted father and Troi Zee as the young girl torn between her love for her mother and the devastating grip of addiction, are spellbinding. I'd suggest this film to anyone seeking a brilliantly performed story of love's enduring strength amidst challenging circumstances. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/23 Full Review Clive P Such a deep film. We need to support more films like this Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/23 Full Review Mikey P This drama is potent and deeply touching. The portrayals by the actors were enthralling, especially Hill Harper's role as the devoted father and Troi Zee's portrayal of a young girl torn between her love for her mother and the devastating grip of drug addiction. This film is a must-watch for those interested in a brilliantly acted narrative on the strength of love and its ability to anchor a family in the face of immense challenges. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/23 Full Review Craig M A captivating and intense tale presented in a manner previously untold.

      Zeba Blay Shadow and Act Enough cannot be said for how refreshing it is to see characters like these relate, interact, and grow with one another on screen. Mar 19, 2018 Full Review Sheri Linden Hollywood Reporter Suitably low-key but sometimes under-realized, this drama is fueled by its working-class milieu and a heart-wrenching performance by Hill Harper. Feb 27, 2016 Full Review Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times The film feels coolly detached because the story and characters are underdeveloped. Feb 25, 2016 Full Review Andrew Parker That Shelf Oliver never backs away from difficult subject matter (semi-autobiographical, at that) and it's positively gut-wrenching to watch. Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest So finely and honestly observed for much of its running time, the confidence doesn't seem to quite be there to let the film's most dramatic moments work on their own power without musical or editorial augmentation. Nov 22, 2018 Full Review John Fink The Film Stage 1982 is a strong debut feature with several brilliant scenes that ought to believe in itself a bit more. Rated: B Jun 27, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
