These children are just the stupidest collection of halfwits. Where's my phone? Where's my phone? That's about as deep as the dialog gets. There is this urgency like something matters when in fact it doesn't. Very annoying film.

PURE MAGIC!

This movie took me on such a FUN and exciting, adventurous ride with these relatable characters. Relish is such a powerful and eye-opening movie, also shedding light on major important issues that our generation faces. Such an amazing film, so well done, and what an amazing cast!
More movies should be made like THIS!!!

A coming-of-age story that really shows diversity among teens! Love this film! Relish is smart, emotional, funny and promotes inclusion for teenagers who feel like they are alone. It's such an important movie. I recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting road trip film that is fun, poignant and unpredictable. It was so refreshing to see a movie about teenagers that feels real, authentic and emotionally grounded. Dealing with real issues we all deal with daily! All the actors were amazing, subtle and extremely relatable.
See this movie!

Loved it!

Great movie and one that is very relevant in today's complex society. Anyone can identify with these characters and the struggles that each had to face as they grew to accept who they are becoming. The main characters were well developed with exceptional supporting roles by Officer Roz (hilarious) and Nova Charise (loved this character).
Also loved the music, wish I could get the soundtrack.

Story telling at its very best.

The most unlikely group of troubled Adolescence thrust them selves into an adventure together and Navigate through the obstacles placed in front of them. With spectacular performances by these five actors, and a script that continually surprised me as it revealed more and more about these kids, I felt connected and compassionate toward each and every one of them.
Story telling at its finest.
Good movie about issues Today's youth are dealing with.

I was able to see this movie at the Burbank International Film Festival. With a short introduction to the characters in the Youth Facility, the action really gets started when the 5 break out and start on their adventure.
You can see the clashes of personality between Kai (Tyler DiChiara) and Levi (Mateus Ward) adding a bit of tension to the excitement of the escape. In the time on the road, the characters start to realize that there is more common ground once they peel back the layers.
Loved when Aspen (Hana Hayes) comes clean to Sawyer (Chelsea Zhang) that everything that looks perfect in my life is fake. Such a great point of the movie. And young Theo (Rio Mangini) seems so out of place, though he becomes the glue of the group.
I enjoyed some of the one liners by the supporting cast that you can easily have a love/hate relationship with. The crowd in the theater had some laugh out loud moments, which helped to lighten some of the more serious moments.
Overall, this movie, written and directed by Justin Ward, was a great peek into the lives of 5 youth who are dealing with their own issues. I felt Tyler DiChiara really opened up and shared with us his transition and the difficulty of being accepted within his own generation.
Looking forward to seeing this movie again and sharing with friends.

The entire cast was spectacular! The characters were so relatable, and I was rooting for ALL of them the whole time. I got so caught up in the road trip and their issues, I never knew where it was going to got next. The actors were so vulnerable and raw. I loved the strength of Kai, especially when he fought back against the bullies! Great movie for our time! Thank you for making this film! Thank you for placing a trans actor in a leading role and not making him weak or a victim!!!
Great movie

An incredible Road Trip movie
lattiajones18 January 2024
Relish is one of the most important films made. This movie delivers a gut-punching reality showing trans phobia by adults, exclusion by peers, the old fashion views of mental health institutions, the brutality of everyday living for transgender people, violence in bathrooms by bigots and sexually frustrated white men, to being rejected physically, to the challenge of finding love, and just the simple taken for grated by most people in society: making friend. It is a road trip inside of each of us to a world of kindness and accepting for people and who they truly are right now. It is also just a plain fun road trip movie with teenagers from diverse backgrounds coming together and connecting. This movie was an emotional roller coaster ride, providing comedy, laughs, drama, excitement, tension and life lessons. Highly recommend it!!!
Incredible Coming of Age movie
jasonwoodreal19 February 2024
This is an incredible movie. I love road trip movies and this one delivers. Loved the relationships between the characters and how they were from completely different worlds and came together to create their own friend group. I liked how they had no idea what to do once they had freedom. Just an all around good time, with a great message and incredible acting. I felt for the young kid and loved how the jock took him under his wing and protected him, like he would as a captain of a football team. It is a movie for the time, and also is completely timeless. The campfire scene was a blast and I felt like I was there with them.
Great road trip movie
wildmanfun7 April 2024
This is such a fun road trip movie. They all learn from each other and grow, and take a insane trip together. I loved their relationships, quips, the tension and the way they interacted. It felt real. I think there are bad reviews because haters don't like a trans male lead, but Kai is amazing. So cool. I know all of these people, they are characters from my own life. It is a powerful message of acceptance and not judging others until you really get to know them. I love that part of the movie. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun road trip teen movie that will make you laugh, and feel something!
LOVE! Total Fire!

This movie was a total surprise. I didn't know what to expect. No big stars, just a really well done indie movie that flew under the radar. I was laughing, crying and heart was racing by the end. I love the characters so much. So relatable. I am surprised it didn't get more attention. It's the first time I have seen a trans character portrayed as a PERSON, not as a overly flawed and so wounded they act and feel like something to point at and promotes stereotypes. This really made Kai feel like he is just one of us, going through what we are going through and trying to connect. It's about making connections with unlikely people. It's a lovely film.
