Andrea B If your a Boyd Holbrook fan then this is a must see. I've had a love for his acting since Hatfields and McCoy's. All of his movies are phenomenal, but this one hit different. The chemistry between the actors was amazing and made me fall in love with their love. It was beautiful to witness his character find meaning to his life again after being falsely imprisoned. Seeing his smile in the scene on the bus when he realizes his feelings for the love interest makes you smile 😏 sappy review over Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Audience Member I really love this movie and don't understand why it doesn't get better reviews. After watching it the first time, I went back to the beginning and watched it all the way through again - something I have never done before! The acting is understated and sincere, the love story is tender with some moments of subtle intimacy and genuine emotion. It is a slow burner with not much dialogue, something I personally enjoy. The soundtrack is perfect. Without wanting to give too much away, the plot slightly falls apart towards the end but you can pretty much work out what is supposed to have happened and it's incidental if you just focus on the emotional plot and how a relationship develops and strengthens. My only complaint is it's quite hard to understand the dialogue at times when the main character quietly mumbles. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The Free World starts with a fairly original idea of an innocent ex-con and a battered woman finding solace in each other. But in an attempt to escape, the plot derails and it comes to a jail-cell ending. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Already being a huge fan of Moss & Octavia this film definitely kept me on the edge of my seat.. This movie has a little bit of everything including romance, drama, and violence. There's a lot of twists & turns. Definitely bought this after renting it. It is a MUST see film Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/21 Full Review Audience Member Yet another white guy who converts to the Religion of Peace-Islam...forget all that messy violence that Islamists cause and support Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Frances H Powerfully poignant indie about two innocent people who are as trapped by circumstances as the dogs for whom Mo cares. Is Mo really in the Free World? Or is he still trapped, sleeping in his closet, working in the fenced in shelter with the captive dogs, hemmed in by police who hound him constantly? Doris is trapped also in an abusive marriage, beaten like the dog her husband drops off at the shelter to be killed. The two find each other as they try to escape, but the free world is kind to neither. All around them are those who only want to incarcerate them again. Can they ever really exist in The Free World, or is freedom only an illusion from which neither can escape? Beautifully acted and directed, with a moving story to tell.
