Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Valerie Mace I didn't like the story at all I mean think about it she's a lawyer yet she's going about doing all this stuff without telling anybody about it, except the Man's brother who she suspects. Sometimes I cannot watch shows because it's just so ridiculous she's on the phone with the man yet she doesn't tell him where she is. The movie is almost over yet still I feel I just want to turn it off because it's so typical what's going to happen
guil fisher Annoying leading lady Lindsay Hartley snoops around for her lost daughter. She's got these bug eyes, treats her boy friend like crap, goes against almost everyone to carry out her purpose. But she fails. Gets caught by the her daughter's boyfriend and then I just turned it off as I was sick of watching this silly nonsense. No acting laurels in this one. I just had not feelings for anyone in this. Maybe the boyfriend who Hartley was terrible to named Connor. He tried to help but she was really lousy to him. I hope when the film ends, he is gone. I'll never know as I don't want to know how this ends, believe me. I see I need more lines about this. Hard to find anything else to critique. Only to repeat what I already said about Hartley not being good and rest of cast at the mercy of a bad script and not too good acting.
wes-connors A young couple chain themselves to a light cement block and hold hands on a bridge, overlooking some dangerous water. Apparently, they jump. Six months earlier, we meet sourpuss Paloma Kwiatkowski (as Emily Yates). The 18-year-old college freshman is sullen most of the time, leading her lawyer mother Lindsay Hartley (as Jill) to believe Ms. Kwiatkowski may be off her medication. Kwiatkowski is depressed and has an aversion to water (or, she did, previous to the opening teaser). One thing that we see cheering Kwiatkowski up is bad blond boyfriend Jedidiah Goodacre (as Gary Smith). A handsome young security officer, Mr. Goodacre works better than medication. When they meet, Goodacre turns off Ms. Hartley with his bad table manners...Directed by Paul Shapiro and written by Stephen Lyons, this is a very predictable "Lifetime" TV drama. They handle the assignment successfully. The basic plot, which has been recycled many times, reinforces the demographic viewers' perception that a daughter's boyfriend is usually bad news. To compare and contrast, mother Hartley is given handsome new bed-partner Dan Payne (as Connor Hodges). The younger couple steal the show by offering a nice variety of nasty, sullen, moody, pouty and scowling looks. Hartley is out to there. Of the supporting players, police officer brother James Pizzinato (as Ritchie Smith) shows a good range; when he over-telegraphs, it's due to a lingering camera. The movie is full of stupidity, but it is fun to watch.***** Dying to Be Loved (4/16/16) Paul Shapiro ~ Lindsay Hartley, Paloma Kwiatkowski, Jedidiah Goodacre, Dan Payne
edwagreen A lot of plot twists in this absorbing Lifetime film. An emotionally unbalanced teenager suffering from depression finds a boyfriend who is even more off-the-wall than she is.Her mother, an attorney, is living with a guy who she hopes to wed shortly.Gary, the girl's boyfriend, reacts to a road rage incident by shooting to death the guy in the other car and he is convicted of murder. How he was allowed to stay out of jail until sentencing was the one major flaw to me in this engrossing film.Gary and his depressed girlfriend supposedly jump off a bridge to their deaths, but her mother, the attorney, has her doubts and hires a private investigator to pursue the matter. The results are more than what anyone bargained for. Gary's brother is a police officer but turns out to be up to his neck in this engrossing thriller.Connor, the mother's boyfriend didn't exactly do the greatest of acting here.
