Audience Member 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". Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Carving A Life tells the messy, yet authentic story of a relationship challenged by alcoholism. Told over the course of many years, we track this marriage through its ups and downs, and form close bonds to the charismatic leads. Great soundtrack and editing as well! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched this movie not knowing what to expect (I love that about indie films). This one didn't disappoint. It is the story of a guy battling alcoholism while expecting his first kid. I put it in my recommend pile.

Well shot indie film. Would recommend it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/23/20 Full Review Audience Member 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!
