I know a lot of work and heart went into making this. It looks like everyone cared and wanted to creat something moving. From the trailer. I personally wasn't moved to watch the entire film. I will watch it as to not be disrespectful. More to come.

After seeing this staged in Los Angeles and absolutely loving it, I was nervous to see its realization in film format. It's like reading a book and seeing the film after, right? Rarely going to be a positive transition.

That is why this was such a unique experience! It made me so happy that the powerful story that I saw on stage had the same strong impact on me as a film.

I have seen other projects done by this creative team, and they consistently have a strong social impact, while keeping me raptly entertained I'm definitely going to keep watching.

The 90's could be look upon fondly until recent truths of the abuse of power and the destruction of innocence have become illuminated through the MeToo movement. The cast and pace of the show are incredible, so engaged and passionate in transporting the audience to this glamorous, superficial time through the eyes of the victims. One can only imagine the emotions associated with doing this show night after night. Be prepared to be educated, be ready to invest your heart into the loss of youth too soon and your soul in the abuse of power that cannot be forgiven. Don't engage to be entertained, engage to get angry and support these voices that need to be heard.

The staging by Michael Leoni is impeccable and superbly mastered. The "theatrical" setting, the light, the soundtrack, music by Youngblood and the rhythm of the editing with constantly simultaneous scenes are perfect, and bring a dimension of chaos that plays out for the characters and for Jason, admirably well interpreted by everyone. Based on the omnipresent abuse and remorse of the past that he lives in synchronization in his mind and on stage between adolescence and the adult of today, Jason confronts his demons by trying to control all that escapes him, and to attempt to warn the younger actors of the threat that threatens .... and to exonerate himself in order to rebuild himself.

I actually really liked this one and there's nothing fake about me or my opinion. Especially resonates if you ever lived in LA. Different Strokes for different folks.
