Best Movie Seen in a Very Very Long Time
I saw it twice!! It was amazing. I want to see it again and hope it is picked up by Netflix or another streaming service because I have to always be able to see this movie! The best acting!! Every one of them! Rose and Connie were extraordinary! You have to see this movie asap to make sure this independent endeavor that Jennifer Esposito out her heart and soul in stays around a long while!! The movie is about a mob family but this movie goes far beyond a mob story. It's about the women forced to live a life they have no choice in. Rage can lead to good or bad and this movie shows it all. Luv it. - gorgetallish - 3 June 2024
Surprised this was an independent film.
This film is another example of how independent films are the future of cinema.
There seems to be no originality from the big production studios anymore, they are just constantly recycling and remaking.
Independent cinema is so fresh and diverse.
This film.
The writing, the story, the cast, the acting, it's all perfect.
For almost the entire cast I had that 'oh it's her, I loved her in XYZ' though.
They are all such brilliant actors, and they all work so well together, especially the family, they had that chemistry that made me believe they were really family.
The story is powerful, mafia family drama is well known, but not from the female perspective, and it was done so well.
