Flick Feast

Krista Ray delivers a powerful performance... the scars, both physical and emotional, are there to see in her behaviour with others and also the quiet moments of solitude. An assured feature debut from Erika Arlee.

Rated: 3/5

Some incredible performances in this film and an accurate portrayal of a humid summer in the South. Don't confuse running with being free.

I absolutely loved it I watched twice as to not miss the beautiful filmmaking and to absorb the beauty of this film even as it deals with tough issues. I LOVED the chemistry of Cheyenne and Janell as sisters who love each other and reconnect. I loved the last scene of Cheyenne Janell and Noah in the creek and the beauty of love and play and the music chosen so perfectly for each scene.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This film was masterfully acted and directed. The tension is so authentic that you forget you're watching a movie and, instead, feel like you're sitting next to the characters. I can't wait to see what Honey Head Films delivers next. I highly recommend. Fantastic indi film.
