Better Than Love

It's not a great film, despite the raw material to be so. The film feels like it was rushed in production. But it's still worth a watch given that it's based on a true story. And Andrew Lawrence once again proves he's the most talented of the three Lawrence brothers. He's handsome, sure. But more importantly he's emotive and full of range. In one scene he's naive and innocent, and in the next scene, he's manipulative and disturbed. Yet it's all wrapped up into one seamless character. He quite literally saves the movie. In a lesser actor's hand, this could have gone comically wrong. Basically, I recommend this to any AL fans out there. Otherwise, it's a crapshoot as to whether or not you'll like it.

Better Than Love is a moving film about a drug dealer trying to improve his lot in life. Explores the dangers of addictive opioids and how they can tear people's lives apart. Lead actor Andrew Lawrence gives a great performance. Really liked the score and cinematography.

Ted Carney does a terrific job keeping the tension, the love story and the personal story all going at once. Stellar performances from all the cast. Painful and hopeful, this indie film is well worth the time spent. Watch it.

This is more than likely not what you might expect. With excellent performances all round, this hard-hitting drama shows the pervasive problem of opioid addiction and its consequences. The characters are so vividly drawn that you can't help but feel their plight on a visceral level. Definitely worth a watch.

This film sets a new standard for down to earth realism and depiction of a nasty industry. The script, direction and acting are very professional. The story line is gripping and suspenseful. The only downside to this film is that it is not a show for everyone. It is gripping and pretty raw. /still well worth watching
