I've personally missed seeing Justin play. I hope to see more.
This is a great movie. Nothing fancy, but very well done and played. By all of the actors.
This is worth the watch if you consider this.
JT is an incredible musician, humanitarian, and an incredible actor! He has been overlooked by the Academy for far too long. This quiet, understated performance may by his very finest role yet. The whole cast was so great that it was easy to forget that you were watching a movie. Everyone seemed like people I've known. The scrip was pitch perfect! Check this one out!
This is an engaging film about a felon and a boy who is different. The characters are developed very well, and the film makes you care about them a lot.
Gifted meets Sherrybaby. More movies should explore the good and the bad surrounding child protection systems. Of course, JT does well in a role that is perfect for him, but Ryder Allen is fantastic as Sam. His character reminded me of a child featured in the beautiful documentary I Am Eleven.
Nice story, great acting and nice emotional moments.
This movie is under rated because American reviewers get triggerred by gender related stories, even though the movie doesn't take any positions on those issues, it just shows you that those stuff do happen and they're not easy to deal with. I also see some complaining that the teacher was black. Yes people of different colors can fall in love, believe it or not.
Just enjoy the movie.
