Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Elina M This movie such a breath of fresh air in the sea of hollywood films that put viewer’s comfort over the power of the story, and what a powerful story this was! I found myself rooting for Nick throughout the entire film, even when he certainly didn’t deserve it because he is an example of the very harsh reality that so many people fall victim to the uncontrollable circumstances of their lives, and that there isn’t always a happy ending. His life spins violently out of control, and Sasso does a fantastic job at developing his character. His performance at the end of the film was truly so heartbreaking and continues to leave a lasting impression on the audience once the film is complete. The RAWNESS of this film is something i appreciate the most about it. It’s clear that it took a village to make this thing happen, and it’s beautiful to see what can be done with a whole lot of passion and belief in a project from such a supportive community. The edits, the unique style of this film are very intentional and enhance the emotion you feel while watching. Overall, this film is an example of what we need to see MORE of in this industry. Stories told in a real raw way that don’t prioritize the viewer’s feelings, but leave them questioning everything about what they already know. This movie touched me in more ways than one and i can’t wait to see what’s next from this very talented group! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Mark B We chose to watch this movie because of the reviews and we have a connection to Rochester. Honestly it was terrible. The plot was nonsensical, the video quality was low budget as was the audio. The smoking, drinking and cursing were so gratuitous it was distracting. We came away from this awful movie convinced the reviews had to be from friends and family of the producers and actors. Hard pass on this one.
