All Souls

"All Souls" is an amazing movie that will keep you engaged from the beginning till the end. I was thrilled to see Gerald "G-Eazy" Gillum back on the big screen and he is getting better with each role he takes on. This time, he played the role of a villain drug trafficker named "Silas". He was also the father of 5-year-old "Mia Love Disnard" whom he had with his baby mother. "Mikey Madison" played the role of "River", a single mother in Los Angeles who was also the lead star of the movie. She did a wonderful job and there were a couple of crying and emotional scenes that she knocked out of the park. "Mia Love Disnard" played the role of the 5-year-old daughter and was lovely to watch in this film.

Emmanuelle Pickett directorial debut is impressive.

All Souls deliver beautiful cinematography, stellar performances from the likes of Mikey Madison, G-Eazy and Mia Love Disnard along with a score that adds an extra layer of drama and suspense. While All Souls takes us on a dangerous undercover operation in the street of a composite of Los Angeles, it also taps into the heart, resilience and desperation of a mother who is willing to do anything to protect her daughter. While there are moments that are predictable in the ploy the film dives heavy into character work that carries the film along with its production team.

Really looking forward to Emmanuelle Pickett next project along with the cast involved future in cinema.

What an absolute waste of time watching this. If I could give it zero stars I would. Feeble acting, diabolical script, poor sound quality. I will never watch this again. Sorry but it is truly hideous with 25percent of the words seeming to start with F. Good creative actor lines.... NOT!!! The best actor was the kid. God knows why they went out dressed like that. For someone who doesn't like violence against women and anti drugs, this could not have been a worse film to watch. Also lots of flashing lights and didn't see any warning g about it. I'm not easily offended but I would have been had I gone to the cinema to view it. Absolute rubbish!!

Fans of crime thrillers and dramas are sure to be delighted with this directorial debut from Emmanuelle Pickett. The intense journey of the protagonist and the great length she was willing to take was executed and shown in such relatable and straightforward manner. The performance of the protagonist was nothing short of amazing. I just wished that the movie was longer and the story was clearer. At times it gets confusing what was really happening because of too much shooting and confrontation scenes, and I wished that the story arcs of the characters were firmly established. Also, dark cinematography was too utilized which made the film too serious to watch.

Or Anora on the run - well no pun intended. And you may wonder what summary headline I'd have chosen if Anora did not exist - or I had watched this chronologically (so before her role in that Oscar movie came along) ... I can't tell you to be honest. Because let's be honest, while this is more than decent, it is also overall run by the mill .. or by Anora (Madison to use her real name).

So our main character has quite a lot to go through. Being a mother (having a kid) does not make things easier ... on the other hand it gives her reason to fight ... to stay strong and to never back down ... even when things seem hopeless. Good thriller ... but nothing that you will get too crazy about!
