Ruby C Ava: A Twist In The Road is a film written, directed by and starring Catherane Skillen. This film centers around love, loss and life changes. Ava loses the love of her life unexpectedly and because she was so dependent on him her life takes an unexpected turn. It is nice to see a film with older characters sharing a story that many may experience and one where the main character needs to find her way again. It is a life lesson that no matter how in love you may be, it is smart to maintain some form of independence which in turn might make a loss gentler to navigate. It is also reminder to have our wills signed and filed before our passing so our wishes may be followed thru with. It is a hopeful story with likable characters, all except the son, that is worth watching. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review James C This is a unique story that deals with loss, loss of a loved one, loss of a parent, loss of your current way of life. Director, Catherine Skillen, does a great job at showcasing the struggles that everyone has to go through in life. We may not all lose a significant other, but we all will lose someone we love in this life. For a low budget indie film I was pleasently surprised with the quality of the film. Not only did it look great but the cast did a excellent job of bringing the story to life. Steve Dellatori does a phenomenal job at playing the a$$ you love to hate! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Jerome V It all begins with the character. Show us their world, what is important to them and why, and we will be engaged. "Ava: A Twist in the Road" is a demonstration of this. Catherane Skillen, who wrote, directed, and starred in the film makes this abundantly clear by presenting us with an imperfect character that we come to understand and care about. Prompted by best friend Leanne (Tannis Benedict), she moves back into the world hoping to reintegrate and piece her life back together again. The movie depicts life choices I suspect many must face in later years. "AVA" is a courageous story that asks what it means to be independent, how to deal with extended families who shun you, and still find your light.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/24 Full Review Straight s Unfortunately dialogue is stilted, script is poorly written and acting is very amateur. I would have liked to report something complimentary but instead, have to be honest. There are no other "verified audience reviews" so what does that tell you? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/23 Full Review Anne-Laure M Great drama indie movie with a realistic story that many women can relate to. I like the narrative arc that moves from sentimental desolation to a brand new life full of promise. Great job! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
