No Right Way

Chelsea Bo takes you on a very real journey through the life of a very real family unit. In today's unique society, raising children is not easy. This movie gives the audience a glimpse into the challenges and triumphs that many people truly are experiencing in today's world. The audience will experience the highs and lows right along with Harper, Georgie and the rest of the cast. No Right Way is heartfelt and inspiring in a way that I have never experienced before. I will recommend this movie to anyone and everyone who enjoys an extremely well written and directed film that is from the heart.

My wife and I had the chance to see this at the Lone Star Film Festival and we were both just floored. The story itself is incredible, but it's in the acting where the film just soars. Director Chelsea Bo set her lightning-in-a-bottle cast free and the result is a realistic, tender, and honest portrayal of the human condition set against a background that is both beautiful and ugly at the same time. This is one of those movies that sticks with you long after the credits have rolled. I remember thinking that I wanted to see more, and could have watched the onscreen chemistry all day.

This was the festival standout to me, and I'm so glad we had the opportunity to see it.

In a world where most people are only concerned with themselves, it's refreshing to see a movie that recognizes the importance of family, the value of putting someone else first, the patience of love. This movie is for everyone who ever felt they needed to step up and step in. One person can make a difference. This movie is also for teachers. It brings up the idea that life gets in the way of schoolwork. Connecting with students, understanding the challenges they face outside of school is far more important than anything that can be taught in school. This movie tells the story of one girl. One girl who represents so many young people who are safer in school than beyond the classroom doors.

Viewed this film at the Alameda International Film Festival, and frankly was surprised with the skilled and professional presentation.

I so enjoyed the film, it is really fun while telling a hard story.

Shout out to Chelsea Bo and her team. This story, out of true life origins, tells the story of two half sisters and their journey to trying find family.

Ava Acres - who plays the younger sister - does a fantastic job with an extremely believable performance. An actor to watch for her future work.

Sufe Bradshaw gives a performance and dialog that I would love to see more of, but loved her small but important role.

Eliza Coupe gives a compelling performance as well.

Of course a movie takes a whole team, and it seems that Chelsea and Sean created a great team, which apparently they have been working on for a few years.

Chelsea, the writer, director, editor and lead actor playing the older sister deserves so much credit. I can not imagine all the work she did to create this film.

Chelsea's performance is authentic, compelling and heartfelt.

I am no critic, but hearing that the script was improv style seems to make so much sense seeing how the actors seem to react off each other so well.

Looking forward to seeing more of Chelsea, Ava and the others work.

With the simplest of budgets, a complicated journey is told through just a few weeks span of Georgie's life. I was surprised to find out that this wonderful storytelling that made me smile, laugh and cry, was primarily improvised. The women in this film opened my eyes and effectively reminded me that my life's treasure can look very different from somebody else's treasure. The film also reminded me to withhold judgement, keep an open heart and mind, and to operate from a place of love. The characters all had flaws revealed and yet I walked away only remembering and being inspired by their best traits. Thank you for a beautiful film. The message reaches a wide audience, inspiring youth and adults alike, encouraging all sorts of people from all walks of life.
