What Goes Around...

Good effort. Interesting script and some of the acting was good. The actress, Lisa Miller, who played the beautiful/unstable, Angela, was actually quite good. She delivered a near-stellar performance and is diffidently the main reason to see this movie. I believed her and hope to see her in bigger-budgeted films in the near future. I happened to see "What Goes Around" attending a film festival in Memphis. While it certainly wasn't the highlight of the festival, better production and a more original soundtrack could have made this a movie worthy of a seven-star vote. This story's been told before (many times) but Rod Pitts did a fine job and I know with (a lot) more production money at his disposal, we can expect really nice things from him in the future. Congrats to all involved and keep making movies.

Caught this film at Indie Memphis a few years ago and loved every minute of it. Being one of the only black films in the festival that year it stood out for several reasons. One reason being that it was reminiscent of Spike Lee's first classic "She's Gotta Have It". It was shot black & white and had some beautifully composed scenes. I felt some of the graininess complimented the tone of the film very well. Another reason this film stood out was the acting. This film has very naturalistic acting from the cast. Lisa Miller (Angela), Chris Brown (Marie), Patrick Henry (Talal) and Domino Maximillian (T.R.) give outstanding and very memorable performances. The overall feel of "What Goes Around..." was good. There were some things that could have been improved upon sure, but with the non-existent budget the writer-director Rod Pitts spoke about in his Q&A, I think this was a masterful piece of work and am very much looking forward to Pitts' next film.
