Shredded

This is an emotional story of two people carrying the weight of the traumatic events in their lives. There isn't a soul on the planet that can't relate to the experience of the characters in this film.

As Riley and Logan journey through their pain, you will find yourself reflecting on your own experiences in life. We all put up walls of defense at some point in our lives and the story does a great job of connecting the audience with the raw emotion that this can cause.

I could see this film rolling into a sequel or series because their are several storylines that could be explored even deeper.

You might be surprised by some of the things you learn in this film. It's clear that the filmmakers worked with care and respect for their subject and the folks involved. The film deals with how different people deal with trauma and cope with hard experiences. The conversations the characters feel real-- which might sound obvious, but some dialogue in other films doesn't feel realistic. The conversations are meaningful and thoughtful. These characters feel like people you could meet in your own life. Beautifully shot-- in particular, the scenes on the beach and in the water are pretty amazing.

I was so fortunate to be able to attend the premier of this film, and I must say what a RIDE!

A very introspective and modern telling of the age-old tale of two strangers connected by pain and trauma who are perhaps divinely brought together to heal each other in a way that only they can.

This story had an ending I didn't fully expect, but was so warmed and comforted by.

The chemistry was lovey, the writing and scene work were so authentic, and I genuinely enjoyed the filmography and the role it played in furthering the plot.

A brave and bold artistic expression of real life events that shaped the reality of the film's creators. Who could ask for a more cathartic piece of cinematic art? Bravo.

I've seen this film twice, and it held up both times. The second watch made me appreciate some beautifully heartbreaking moments I missed on the first watch. It felt personal to one or both of the writers, who also star in it, and they did a solid job. Their chemistry felt real, like two people who slowly let their guards down over time. Like real humans do especially ones with trauma. It didn't feel forced or rushed, just natural and honest. I don't usually watch this genre, but this one kept me hooked. It's the kind of film that sticks with you long after it's over, and I'm glad I gave it a chance. If you're into drama and crying I would definitely recommend!

This film truly moved me and brought me to tears. It's rare to see a film that has such heart and humanity, while not steering away from being honest about the rocky road towards healing, both of body, mind and spirit. The directing, acting performances and writing were grounded and real- and the genuine connection between the leads really made me think about how connected we all are to one another, and that it's through relationship and supporting each other that we can thrive. Also, the film was beautifully shot! It's a heartfelt and moving story that I highly recommend, and one i won't forget.
