The Parker Sessions

Slow burn but well worth it, funny, dark, realistic, well-acted, well-made, interesting, unpredictable, and entertaining with an amazing twist.

Hands down my favorite feature of the festival. Looking forward to seeing more from this director.

This movie had me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole screening. Dark, Emotional, Bloody and Violent in all the right places. Rachell Sean and Danny James both pull strong performances. I wish this film was a little longer. Can't wait to see what the director makes next!

Creative mind at its finest! A step in bringing awareness to the sad truth of someone's every day reality even to celebrity life. How a blind eye can be so easily turned out of pure ignorance.

I dont normally write movie reviews, but after seeing The Parker Sessions I had to make an exception. I first saw The Parker sessions at Macabre Faire film festival and was immedietly engrossed. The film follows Parker, a young girl dealing with emotional turmoil becuase of her disturbing past. So she seeks out help from a counselor to help stop her night terrors.

Sometimes films involving therapy sessions and mental health can feel cliche and overdone but that was not the case with this film. Rachell seans performance was raw and real. And the cat and mouse scenes between her and Danny James(counselor) were fun and intriguing to watch. Especially as the film goes on and things start to unravel in an unexpexted and wild way.

The writing was smart, and the black and white cinemetography was beautiful and captivating. Overall the film is a great watch with a wild payoff at the end. And for Stephen King Simmons first feature film, im impressed and cant wait to see what he does next!

This film is a triumph. It is overall a simple story but every time you think you know what you are watching, there is a twist and that sends you on a different journey until the very end.
