Definitely a heavy movie but I really enjoyed it. I saw it at Sundance and it makes sense that it was at Sundance. Definitely not a main stream movie but if you can handle a serious film, be sure to catch this one.

I wasn't expecting this movie to be any good, but man I was so wrong. I think I cried for the latter part of the movie. This was so0o0o0o0o0o0 good. Definitely heart wrenching and so much emotion poured out from the main character. Pete's character in all of his innocence was so pure and I felT so much empathy for him. A movie hasn't made me think about where I am at in my life in a long time. I will def tell others about this! GREAT JOB!

I just got through watching this movie and I believe my eyes are swollen from all the crying I just did....this is sooo touching and makes me very sentimental. I myself am brooklyn raised and I was around sooo many kids in this situation. This is def the reality of what goes on in most parts of nyc wether we want to accept it or not. I just thank god I had a wonderful mother :)..this was awesome and the actors were great
