MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

lar_lef Film begins very well and continues well until social worker frees her increasingly loved charge from prison from which he would be sent to a hard core prison where his youthful handsome looks would make him a victim. Somehow I found it a bit hard to swallow her change from Bonnie Good to Bonnie of Clyde mien, and afterward, as stated, the film becomes less interesting, less beautifully photographed, and only the good ending redeems something from a story which held your interest and was believable but gradually becomes a criminal romance story. Well acted,and considering the low budget, impressive nonetheless.

merklekranz "Hard Choices" is a movie that is difficult to figure out, because it is anything but predictable. Characters that you already have stereotyped, suddenly shift gears with revelations you couldn't anticipate. Ultimately this is a movie about friendship, and unconditional giving. It is also well acted, with nice locations, and is full of surprises. If originality is high on your list of a movie's enjoyable criteria, then seek this one out. Watch for J.T. Walsh as a deputy, and John Sayles also makes an appearance. For such an unknown film, "Hard Choices" is one I wouldn't hesitate to recommend, and I'm doing just that. ..... - MERK

Pepper Anne I didn't enjoy this one much. Looks like they ran out of ideas for a story and towards the end, were just pulling at straws. If you read the synopsis on the box, it seems like a story where a social worker struggles with ethics in dealing with a young client that she starts to fall in love with.The way this movie starts out, with a young kid getting shuffled through adult prison after being an accessory to the shooting of a cop reminds me of the made-for-TV drama, In the Custody of Strangers (which is a similar story that criticizes the juvenile detention system). Enter the well-meaning social worker who tries to help him out, or at least make his stay comfortable (after a while, you'd forget this kid was in prison).Then, all of a sudden, this social worker turns sinister, and the story turns into a Bonnie and Clyde. She is such a bizarre character.Later, she attempts to break the kid out of jail after the judge decides that yes, the kid is going to get tried as an adult. Then, these two become fugitives working for the social worker's drug dealing friend. The whole movie is pretty ridiculous, and I suspect, is probably not enough to sustain too many people's attention since you're thrown one too many bizarre plot points.

batgirl731 I couldn't believe my professor assigned this movie for a class. Ugh.The production values are not too great, and the score is AWFUL!In general, it feels like a corny 80s sex fantasy drawn out for 90 minutes.But without a lot of sex.Some of the nature scenes are very pretty, and it's almost in the so-bad-it's-fun category.But not quite.Definitely not recommended, unless you're having a bad-obscure-80s movie film fest.And maybe not even then.
