James B I almost didn’t watch this because I hadn’t recognized anyone in it. Glad I gave it a shot. It’s funny how so many obscure titles you’ve never heard of are out there. A lot packed into this intense little film. Simple story with big emotional moments. Had me guessing till the end Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/18/25 Full Review Alex T Wow! What an amazing little film… I’m an indie film junkie, and not just the big budget Neon and A24 stuff but the true, actual “indies” and over the weekend I had a chance to catch Dangerous Animals (a bigger indie with Jai Courtney and Hassie Harrison) and this random film, Plight with… nobody I recognized but I’m sure I will recognize them in the future! DA was fun and juicy to take in but I walked away from my viewing of Plight in complete awe at how jaw-dropping the events were as they unfolded one by one. It’s set up plops you right in from the get-go with a hit and run accident. A father loses a son, a sister must now struggle to care for her own and their mission to find those responsible takes off from there. I did NOT expect the subtle commentaries on the world we live in and the “plight” of so many in so many different classes, genders, economic backgrounds to be as clean and seamless as how the writer worked them in but somehow he did. It did not derail the flow of the film which is an intense thriller. It actually elevated it tremendously by giving this quasi-revenge story some layers to it. I’d love to say much more but it’s tough without giving away the plot and the through line of the film. I will simply say that I got much more than I bargained for and as a champion of indie film, I crown this one as one of my favorites. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Cynthia t I love little indies that could... this movie had me staying up well after I watched it. Kind of just jarred me with how raw I was feeling afterwards. Such a human story and so well acted. Watching it you could feel the emotional waves the characters were going through. Some movies are intense just to be intense with loud yells and action. This movie was intense with all the opposite, the underlying tension and this constant feeling of what is going to happen next? Who is going to lose it? What is going to pop off?! Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the thrill ride it takes you on but it kept me thinking long and hard about what it means to be human. What we are capable of doing to each other... all I know is that I wanted to hug my mother after I watched this. So glad I watch indies because sometimes they feel more authentic than any of the blow em up shoot em up big budget movies that talk at you. Here I felt like I was just in it, and I loved that. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Steve M How on EARTH has this got such a high rating? Terrible acting akin to that of a TV Soap but worse, the script felt improvised/made up on the spot throughout, and the timeline was all over the shop. A terrible film - avoid. Can't help but think there's something amiss with the ratings, which is why I felt in this instance I needed to give my 5 pence worth. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Debbie K EXCELLENT film! 🌟👍👍 Many themes to explore through this film 🤔 -- money, power, influence, marriage, retribution, greed, loss, sorrow, self-pity, justice... 😮 The acting is superb on all counts! 🎊 And despite a slow start, while introducing characters and positions, PLIGHT comes together to give a riveting story-line that will have you on edge as to what will happen next! 🥁 The film and the actors involved will not disappoint! 🌟 My advice is to WATCH IT -- soon!!! ✌️💖 Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review Mitchell H Plight is an emotional powerhouse disguised as a quiet indie drama. What starts as a story about loss and justice quickly spirals into something darker and more unsettling, asking hard questions with no easy answers. The performances are raw and unforgettable—Matthew J. Plumb gives one of the most human portrayals of grief I’ve seen in years, and Ada Pasternak’s restrained intensity grounds every scene she’s in. The film’s minimal style works in its favor, keeping the focus tight and the tension sharp. It’s not flashy. It’s not loud. But Plight doesn’t need to be. It cuts deep with honesty and leaves a mark long after the credits roll. Verdict: One of the best low-budget dramas of the year—don’t miss it.
