DAVID M @RT50621454 May 26, 2025 Incredibly navigated and an accurate display of times in the 60's. Hometown feel with real life drama. See more Ronald H @RT44372985 Jan 5, 2025 A truly stupid movie about a single mom who escapes her abusive husband and flees to Venice, Florida with her two daughters (one of whom is a teenager who looks about five years younger than her mother). She thinks she's getting a job through a friend cleaning a mansion for a rich guy, but she quickly discovers that her employer is big time drug dealer, and she ends up running the merchandise for him. The acting is amateurish, the story is pure cliche, and the characters are cardboard cutouts. Your intelligence will be insulted throughout. Don't waste your time on this insipid trash. See more Jan 25, 2020 Glad I tried. Without spoilers....Very soulful, alluring picture of life portrayed from family members perspectives. The film itself is a work of art in a genre different than regular box office busters. The actors portrayal is personified by following a true story of the director herself, making it more real than typical films. I would like to have seen a much longer version as I became drawn in the their lives. Yes, some scenes are cut short and, like reading a book, you get to use your imagination. Although most every bit of the acting is really top notch, very well played out, there are a few times where the scenes aren't quite as good as the rest of the film because there isn't time to really play out enough of the scene and again, I wanted more. It could've lasted as long as Forest Gump if allowed, yet would've taken longer to make and that costs $ Loved the movie, the time representation, acting, actors, scenery, sets and everything about it. On the negative, I wanted more and would love to meet the Director and personally tell her what a great job and how proud she should be for coming so far in her life and understanding that not everyone is cut from the same cloth. Read about her, hopefully you'll understand. Now for a redux! See more Apr 6, 2019 Loved this movie so much. Highly recommend. See more Aug 29, 2018 I feel this movie was a movie of two halves Interesting first half when Anna Paquin relocates with her two daughters and through Drea De Matteo she gets involved in criminal activity. Not sure what she was doing mind you, she was earning lots of money but not sure what for and why they were using her other than finding suitable boats. Second half she kinda changes personality and becomes more motherly and it dissolves into cheesy melodrama. Anna Paquin in all fairness looks great in that bikini and tiny denim shorts etc. Not sure if she was the correct casting choice. She has a strange mouth, I like the little gap in her teeth but her mouth shape is weird. Still she is very capable actress. Smoking to much though, not sure why her character had to be a chainsmoker. All in all , not to bad See more May 6, 2016 Anna Paquin gives a great performance as well as the other actors in this movie based on true events in the 70's. See more Read all reviews
