I think the best thing about this movie was the it really seemed to capture the essence of what it is like to grow up with a single mother who is an addict. The false promises, putting her needs above yours, her disappearing and then coming back into your life when she feels like it and often with her own motives.Then it ends with the kid sabotaging his own success because of he has never learned that he is worthy of success. Whoever wrote this has either lived this or done their research.
as you said, the story was done before but done in a new way, I was also impressed by the acting and over all writing/ directing , but what also impressed me was that the kid, Alex, had never acted before , he was a wrestler, and so I was very impressed by that.
Win Win was a really good movie!! Another great movie that loved Discover The Gift. For me, it bridges the gaps between me and the messages that are coming through other mediums (What the BLEEP, The Secret, Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now, New Earth, etc.) by shedding more light on unlocking our potential as humans via the different perspectives offered in the documentary. This is a must see movie!!
Having wrestled in High School, I was dreading watching the wrestling scenes in this movie in case they looked anything similar to the wrestling movie Vision Quest with Matthew Modine back 90's? Well, my fears were alleviated, everything was dead on and accurate and you could tell the kid has wrestled before this movie was made and didn't just take a few quick lessons beforehand to make him look good- he is good. And a perfectly cast movie in that regards and with all the actors...

Hey Eric did you see "Moon" at Sundance last year? If not you should check it out! I think you might like it! I personally thought it was really good! So check it out yeah?
i've seen your old monster videos and your newer stuff and with no professionalism in any field of anything i'm still super confident that you suck at video making.. give it away.. buy a gameboy// and what was that monster shit? find some friends dude
You're so lucky you get to watch movies all the time. Do you get invites to film fests or are they open to the public? I'm not from the US so I wouldn't know:)
