Thrasher Road

The story and the characters in Thrasher Road totally absorbed our friends and family. It's ultimately a tale of about how the often tragic life-long effects of divorce on children and parents —anger, misunderstanding, loss— can be softened by fate and necessity....and then begin to be healed. From Los Angeles to Mississippi to Vermont, the "Thrasher Road" road trip is moving and, without melodrama, healing and hopeful. If you've ever driven across America, the locations are authentic and the cinematography (movies was shot on film), is sharp and beautiful.

A daughter's journey, a father's journey and a dog's journey all rolled into this heartfelt indie. This is a movie worthy of theatrical release with expert execution in all areas. Samantha Davidson Green does a superb job with her actors, camera and music. Everything here is thoroughly professional, and you'll find yourself touched and heartened if you spend the time and a couple of bucks to watch this one.

Nicely done movie that deals with adversity, fractured family relationships and asking for help. It is well filmed and a solid script. Acting is pretty good, certainly from the principal characters. Nice job by the director. Quality movie worth a watch.

Excellent Independent film. Shows you don't have to spend millions to tell a great story.

Dave and I have an agreement when it comes to movies. If I pick it, he is free to leave after twenty minutes if he doesn't like it, and vice versa. For this movie, neither one of us budged; both of us sat there entranced, not wanting it to end. The movie is touching without being maudlin. It conveys a message that anyone who's experienced loss—and redemption—can relate to. You'll find the themes linger long after the closing credits. Dave and I agree this is one of the best, if not THE best film, we've seen this year. Do yourself a favor and see this remarkable movie.

This movie was raw, real, and you root for the characters throughout. Loved the honest portrayal of the US and her people.

Thrasher Road tackles the emotional journey of coming to terms with our continual search for love. It's the story of a young woman on the verge of motherhood confronting her estranged father and attempting to heal their relationship. The film poetically touches on how difficult it is to be a good parent and the lasting effect our decisions have on our children. The characters are nuanced, the writing is layered and the acting is very natural. In addition, the story takes us on a stunning cross-country trip across America with striking landscapes and unique communities playing a role in the drama. It is a beautiful film that takes on a difficult subject that needs to be addressed and talked about. I loved the movie!

This is the BEST movie I've seen in a long time. REAL human and canine relationships, with all the humor, heartbreak and joy of life's journey.

This beautiful road trip film does not disappoint. It's a moving and thoughtful story of love and redemption with wonderful performances. And if you're a dog lover you shouldn't miss it!

Who doesn't love a good road trip movie? This is a great one! Lots of laugh-out-loud moments, beautifully shot, moving music. And a feeling at the end that the story will stick with you, provoking big-picture questions about human nature and relationships and what it's all really about here in this big, mysterious world. Kudos to everyone involved in the making of this film.
