Bobby L The movie "Boston to Philly" is an unflinching examination of relationships, loss and redemption in this stunning indie film. Director, writer and actor Ralph Celestin who plays the male lead Rome Boston blew me away from his first scene with his raw intensity, a truly power actor. Ralph Celestin’s film surprised me with the heartfelt story-telling. As an indie film, Ralph included an impressive number of locations and a large capable and diverse cast. There is undeniable chemistry between Ralph (Boston) and Mia Mendez (Philly), and the two were showcased in a number of very emotionally satisfying scenes, including my favorite one in the rain. Mia Mendez also shines in her role and gives a layered performance. The capable ensemble cast helped drive the story to a satisfying ending. Cinematographer Eric Lovett Jr. masterfully captured the characters emotions, and there are many gorgeous shots perfectly framed of the City of Philadelphia. The lighting and cinematography of the film is breathtaking. I am not the least surprised "Boston to Philly" received multiple awards in the festival circuit! If you are a fan of great story-telling, give this rare gem a watch, you will be well rewarded. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/13/25 Full Review Carey V Wow... This was SO Bad in every respect.
