12 Steps to Recovery

12 Steps to Recovery is full of many emotions: love, despair, struggle, sadness, and some good laughs. There are several plot twists that keep the viewers engaged and wanting more. The cinematography is well done, with lots of aesthetically pleasing shots. Watching Josh go through his 12 step program to achieve a full recovery is heart wrenching. It makes you feel for addicts, their family, and their friends who care for them. It shows the true struggle behind addiction and getting to a place of recovery. It also brings the reality of the meetings and steps to life for viewers who may not have experienced anything like it before. I know this movie opened my eyes to addicts and their struggles. I was well pleased with this movie and would definitely watch it again. I will be sharing it with my loved ones!

Incredible story of pulling out of an nose-dive of addiction and loss. Definitely recommend seeing this if you or a loved one are struggling to get through addiction. You really find yourself relating to these characters and feeling the roller-coaster of emotions/trials they're going through as you watch. Perfect example of a slow battle with addiction that can be lost with any trial we are faced with. The romance and the overall storyline are excellent with plot twists to keep you on your toes. Excellent work by all cast members and crew. There's really a lot to say about the film but it's better if you watch it and see for yourself. ENJOY!

One of my friends posted online about this film and I wanted to give it a look. Josh is someone that a lot of people including myself can relate to. I enjoyed the emotion, the romance and SPICYNESS, the drama, the suspense. I don't think we learn enough about the struggle people and their families go through on a day-to-day basis when it comes to addiction. You could see in Josh's eyes throughout the movie that he was going through a lot and needed God. It would be awesome to have a 2nd movie to see what happens with Josh and Kate. I definitely recommend watching this film. I hope we see more Arizona films in 2024!

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!

As an older mom who has seen her fair share of life's ups and downs, "12 Steps to Recovery" hit home in a way few films do. This heartfelt drama tells the story of Joshua, a man battling addiction and seeking redemption, and it does so with such authenticity and emotion. Watching Joshua, I saw not just an actor, but a person struggling with the weight of his past mistakes and trying desperately to make amends. Joshua captures the raw pain and desperation of a man at his lowest point, and his journey towards recovery is both moving and inspiring. His portrayal is a masterclass in acting, filled with moments of intense emotion and quiet reflection. As a mother, I found myself empathizing with Joshua's struggles and cheering for his triumphs. 12 Steps to Recovery is a deeply moving film that offers a realistic and compassionate look at addiction and recovery. Joshua was a must-watch for anyone who appreciates powerful storytelling and exceptional acting. This film is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the enduring power of love and forgiveness. I highly recommend it.
