Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

throttletime Solidly acted story of the things that can get out of control when YOU'RE out of control. It's not presented as preachy or a moral lesson, but when you're drugging' and running' with the hoods in all the usual places they frequent, well...stuff happens that isn't always pleasant. There was one huge gap in storyline nearer to the end that drove me NUTS - how could you not notice that she...!! - but a good, albeit disturbing, film overall. The actors generally play reality straight, and don't drag the film down by over-the-top portrayals of character types, and that I appreciated. I think I was extra disturbed by this film based on the fact it was shot in Oregon, where I live, and that they chose the town of Keizer (evidenced by a police uniform early on, that is actually known to be really druggy and high-crime.

lonniew By about 25 minutes in I knew what was going on.. but I was still entertained!It was a really slow start but then after 15-20 minutes it started getting a lot better.. You really should stay through until the end though if you haven't figured things out 25-30 minutes in like I did.I also have no idea what I could compare this to either, it is a bit unique to me which is why I I was entertained.. I like originality.. so if you can sit through the slow start without giving up like one of the other reviewers then you'll probably enjoy it.I would have rated it higher if it weren't for some bad acting moments and the really slow start.

med77_99 How in the hell did Micheal Madison agree to appear in this movie ? I have to say, this was one terrible and unwatchable movie, everything about it is low grade and just awful.very poor video editing, terrible sound editing, wooden acting and awful amateur direction make this one of the worst movies i was about to see, seems everyone involved in this movie is talentless. yes i could not continue watching beyond the 11th minute of this drivel, and stopped right then and there. it was like watching an amateur video done by regular people on Youtube rather than an actual marketed film produced and released on DVD by whom supposed to be professional film makers ! i know it is a low budget film, but still i have seen many low budget movies that are way more professional and better than this.I have to be fair and give this film 2 stars because of the remote possibility that it might have gotten better after the 11th minute, which i doubt given the repulsive, unskilled and amateurish start to it.make yourself a favor and avoid this drivel, spend your time on something better, please

d-garutti This movie, although the name, does not focus on supernatural creatures and either gore or trash violenceWhat we have here is a good work that develops the mistakes committed by a mother that despite love her sons have a lot's of troubles with her drug addicted lifestyle.We see a protagonist that seems to understand her mistakes according as her mind and body are pull at the edge of what she can take.Good work of almost unknown Una Jo Blade and with a good director this movie shows a lot more that you probably expect.8/10
