Borders on child abuse....
because-of-him19 June 2015
The movie is about a few who want to forget their past, but the very first scene that haunts one actor's past is graphically implied and will be very difficult for those who actually faced sexual violations as a child.

This is not a spoiler since it is already under the Parental Guide. In the very beginning of the opening scene, some young children, 7 to 9 years of age are playing. An apparent relative, a large man, calls out to one of the boys and leads him into a small bathroom where the large man begins to undress the boy and caress his face. I find it very disturbing to use children to portray very disturbing scenes which approach child abuse.

This is a good movie. The cast and crew held my attention throughout its duration, and I enjoyed seeing the cast of both new and familiar faces. I highly recommend it.

PRESS ON THE MARK

Warning: Spoilers
The film starts out with a large number of subplots. The beginning is bogged down with question marks. Are these related? Will they come together? That seems to be a flashback, but whose? About 45 minutes into the film things start to come together. The film maker is showing us things on a number of levels, such as how our childhood influences our lives and can make our dreams difficult. Sometimes by not having a father, or worse having a non-supportive or abusive father.

We see a number of lives: ex-con, policeman, drug dealer, dancer, singer, boxer. Some are seeking stardom, some redemption, others forgiveness...but they all have a dream. And like some dreams, nightmares happen. Unlike the films of the genre where everybody has a happy ending, this film dares to take on a gritty realism. Kudos.

Joel Kapity managed to do this film without explicit sex, nudity and cursing
