05/15/2022 The plot points of this film hit on some very genuine issues that young couples often deal with in new relationships, especially when an enormous secret is involved. Alcohol abuse is central to the narrative and this one felt all too real to for very personal reasons. Any kind of substance abuse can lead to chaos and heartbreak, as this film shows. The story, direction, and narrative are both straight ahead. Boy meets girl, they fall in love and marry, and then life challenges immediately rear their ugly head. While this is definitely not on the level of the horrors found in "Requiem for a Dream", there are genuine lessons to be drawn from "Carving a Life". See more 12/22/2020 Carving a Life is an intelligent and raw drama about dark secrets beneath the surface of love and relationships. Tyler Bruhn delivers a top-notch performance and conveys all the emotional undertones of a person battling addiction while attempting to love another human being. The soundtrack is also very enjoyable and subtle. See more 08/04/2020 Carving A Life tells the messy, yet authentic story of a relationship challenged by alcoholism.

It is the story of a guy battling alcoholism while expecting his first kid. I put it in my recommend pile. See more 06/17/2020 This independent film is the type of honest storytelling that comes from an experienced writer. There are some ups and downs for the characters in this story that keeps it entertaining throughout. The lead actors were enjoyable and believable, and the only thing holding this indepedent film back is the big budget needed for high production value. Even still, a great watch! See more 04/20/2020 Carving a Life takes a realistic approach to addiction and romance, and especially how one affects the other. It is a wonderfully told story with decent acting all around.
