If I Could Tell You

"If I Could Tell You" is a short film (I'd call it a mini-feature) which tackles a unique, dramatic topic and does so with style. These days who doesn't know someone who has struggled with infertility if we haven't struggled ourselves? This movie dives into that topic and scratches the surface of dramatic possibilities with the issue. I could see this a pilot for a prime cable show, or streaming series. All aspects of the production (the writing and directing, the cinematography, sound, and particularly the acting) are first rate. Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson may surprise you with his acting chops, and there is a great turn from the ageless Sharon Lawrence and comic relief from Jim O'Heir (of PARKS & REC), as well as Ryan Spahn, but it is the lead performance by the relatively unknown Avery Clyde that is the real stand out. Deep emotions, without over acting. Restrained, yet moving. More than worth a watch!
