Audience Member Ages 17 and older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The greatest 01 hour: and 31 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I only liked this movie after reading the Wikipedia and learning about the community effort it took to make this film on an iPhone 7. It proves that anyone can make movies but that making good movies, acting and story telling are truly skills that need to be worked on, developed and learned in order to make a great film experience. Again hats off to the La Raza method but I wish I had not spent the money on this one. It wasn't what I was looking for in terms of entertainment. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a huge fan of the art house genre, but I felt Black Ruby had a great soundtrack and played off of classic films. A bit odd at times however the film works. The narration in the film pulls this artsey movie together that is purposefully trying to be complicated and different. Some will appreciate this and some won't. If you like art house please do watch, if not than this will not be your cup of tea. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty amazing this was filmed with the iPhone. Not sure if you're into independent art house films, but if so than you will like the film and likely be surprised. Kind of a retro fusion of jazz, ambient and nostalgia. Just very cool to me and out of the box for a fairly simplistic idea. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Only thing cool is it's shot with an iPhone Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
