Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Dan Murphy Well Done! An Excellent Showing for Thibault's first Directing/Writing Debut. Great Acting, Great Cinematography, and a good story. A cable network should definitely pick this movie up.Below is some info I googled on how to write a movie review. I included this useful info to meet the IMDb number of lines minimum for posting a review. I think my concise comments were enough. Extraneous comments are unnecessary. How to write a movie review, a guideWriting a movie review is a great way of expressing your opinion of a movie. The purpose of most movie reviews is to help the reader in determining whether they want to watch, rent or buy the movie. The review should give enough details about the movie that the reader can make an informed decision, without giving anyway any essentials such as the plot or any surprises. Below are our guidelines and tips for writing a good movie review.1. Watch the movieThe first step in writing the review is to watch the movie. Watch the movie in a relaxed environment you are familiar with. You do not want to be distracted by an unfamiliar room. Watching the movie a second time will help you absorb a lot more detail about the movie. Most movie reviewers take notes as they watch the movie review. 2. Give your opinionMost movie reviewers will give their opinion of the movie. This is important as the reviewer can express the elements of the movie they enjoyed or disliked. However, as in all good journalism, the reviewer should also give impartial details, and allow the reader to make their own mind over an issue the reader liked or disliked. Opinions should be explained to allow the reader to determine whether they would agree with your opinion .Many regular movie reviewers will develop a following. If one can find a reviewer who shares a similar taste in films, one can confidently follow the reviewers recommendations.3. Who is your audience?You need to consider who your likely readers are. Writing a movie review for children requires a different approach than if writing for a movie club. Ensure you report on the factors that matter to your likely audience.4. Give an outlineGive the outline of the movie, but don't give away essential details such as the end or any surprises. If there is a big surprise you want to entice readers by telling them something special happens, just don't say what.5. ActorsIf the movie contains actors, as most do, detail who is starring in the movie and how well you think they acted.6. StructureDid the movie follow a regular predictable story line, or did it get you thinking like a Quentin Tarantino movie?7.Cinematography and lightingGive details about how well the movie was shot and directed. Was the lighting good in the moody scenes? 8. MusicDid the movie have its own score like Koyaanisqatsi or ET, or did it feature songs from popular artists?9. Read, read and readRead and check your review thoroughly. It can be embarrassing to find errors in your work after it has been published. This is especially important for reviews that will be published on the Internet, as search engines are always looking for the correct spellings of key words.

Billybob-Shatner I caught this film this past week at a film festival, and was very happy I did. The film is both well directed, and well acted. It's not edge of your seat entertainment, nor do I imagine it was intended to be. But what it is, is a very effective, believable and absorbing character study that's both technically superb and believable in its execution. Though he might not look like a conventionally leading man, Gabriel Marantz more than carries the film. He portrayal of the lead character is both believable, and rife with pathos. Solid film and I highly recommend it.

Fortune-Films A truly moving story. Wonderful composition of shots and a strong theme make this is a compelling indie movie. Not one to miss! Watch for new faces that demonstrate some sound break-out performances! The filmmakers took great care in crafting this story and it clearly shows as we follow Matt's journey though the film. If you can watch this film at one of the many festivals it has been accepted to, you should. Don't wait for a DVD release, but rather watch it on the big screen. The cinematography alone makes it worthwhile, and the strong story strikes home for most father/son relationships in real life. It can make you reflect on your own personal situation and that is the message of a powerful film.

look_upon_me I mean just look at the tag line, haven't we all seen a hundred inspirational hallmark channel/lifetime channel original movies with that exact tag line? A movie about "learning life's lessons, blah blah blah." Basically, a technically competent but utterly generic paint by numbers film. There's really nothing wrong with it, it just sits there. Never really soars, never really does anything. Actually there was one really stupid thing: this girl walks up to the main character, completely at random and starts dating him. I thought there was going to be a punchline or something...no, some random hot girl just started dating the main character for seemingly no reason. It just felt so random, I was a bit confused after-wards. And then she falls in love with him, for some reason, and they break up because? I don't think anyone in my theater bought their relationship for one second. I think she was literally in maybe four or five scenes. Other than the totally superfluous love interest I guess it was OK.
