    The performance of the main actor is perfect. You feel his genuine kindness being strained and how much pressure he's got on his shoulders as he's trying to get clear of the gheto life. You sense his will to escape the dealing business and his crave for a better life. His descent into hell serves as an exemple and aims to deliver a positive message. The cast is without flaws. The story is strong. It's an important drama.

    Better Than Love was a really well shot, well acted and well executed Indie thriller about the dangers of opioid addiction. It's a dark movie (as would be expected given that description), and crafted in a real and impactful manner. Good, engaging stuff!

    Better Than Love had some of the best production value I've seen for a smaller indie film. Really solid. Good acting. Takes a personal look at the opiod crisis from every angle. Also has an interesting feel because of its Seattle locations. The U.S. is in the middle of such a terrible pandemic of overdoses, and it's good to see these filmmakers shining a light on it.

    This film struck home to me as somebody who had dealt with addiction and has lost friends to addiction. The lead actor does an incredible job of showing you the realness of addiction and the different components of living with it. There's wonderful directing and cinematography that compliment the performances. Worth the watch!
