The Violent Heart

No one else thought that a 24 year old dating a high school senior was weird??? Cassie was very annoying and cringy the entire movie. Not sure why no one did a dna test on the brother either? Dumb ending.

The foreshadowing throughout this movie was very allusive. The ending does a decent job at tying almost everything together. However the ending did leave us with a few questions. There were some unresolved issues that would have made the story more clear. Nonetheless we appreciate that the twist wasn't predictable and it left us wondering throughout watching what the issue could be. They seemed to paint the main character like an angry black man but didn't actually show him in that light. In fact it was quite the opposite it was a young man trying to manage his emotions and get back on track. Overall, this movie did keep us on our toes and we would recommend it to watch.

This was an awesome little film that totally took me by surprise. Solid story, great actors, great reveal which sealed the climax. Mary J. shined in her role. Just felt genuine. Family secrets can be devastating. While Jahi Di'allo Winston is a phoenomanl young actor I question casting him in the role of Aaron. Then again, using him did help keep the mystery,..... mysterous.

I really enjoyed the movie. It was a surprise that it was so good. The twists and unexpected turns really got me.

Wow I really liked this movie and I wasn’t expecting that reveal towards the end, it was shocking.

Superb. This film continued to surprise and defy expectation at every turn. You do not realize what type of film you're watching until the final act, at which point the pieces fall satisfyingly into place. Characters are real, full of nuance, flaws and humanity. Incredible filmmaking and performances -- this film stays with you.

Amazing story. A well told story with wonderful performances delivered by the cast. I love films like this. No high budget special effects. A solid story about a life's journey and how people can connect in such an unexpected way. I was captivated by the opening act and never lost interest. I was surprised in the pivotal scene with Cassies flashback to her younger self. Such a small moment in tune, recalled years later to complete this puzzle, this mystery. Looking forward to seeing more performances by this incredible group!
