It's one thing to hear about, or read about, the twelve steps to recovery... but it's a whole 'nother thing to walk alongside a damaged young man as he seeks to get out of addiction and back into a normal life.

This being writer/director Ryan Watson's first feature-length project, it is amazingly well made. Successfully delivering a 3-act film that takes viewers thru a 12-step program is no mean feat.

Every low budget film has to recognize the reality of their limitations-and make certain that the basics are well-covered. Storywise, the main task is establishing an understandable premise, making certain the characters are developed in support of the film's end-point. It's also helpful to introduce and properly play out any subplots, which "12 Steps" does very well.

The lighting is sold, the shots are in focus, the audio is clear, and the message comes thru very strongly. "12 Steps To Recovery" is definitely worth watching!
