Joy of Horses

The movies was cute, spiritual, etc. And the acting was fair. Tje story is about a teenage coming of iage girl that lost her mother. She is dealing with the loss and navigating the world of dating. She has issues with her imaturity and lack of guidance.

BUT, the soundtrack was horrible. I am not sure what the big studios do ( bass enhancement, background music, etc.) but the big studios have profession sound processing.

If the soundtrack was better this movie would be worth watching, but it was pretty hard to watch.

I stuck with it and made it through the end, but the sound quality made this hard to appreciate.

How this movie currently have a 7.7 score here at IMDB is a mystery. The movie quality is horrible. The acting stiff without any sense of empathy or feeling. The directing seems non existing and the cutting and sound does not add to the mixture. It was a pain to watch.

Ava's healing process after the death of her mother is the main theme and is depicted dutifully throughout the film. The romances in the love triangle fumble in the dark without any emotional depth. It feels as though there has been an effort to deliver the story according to the script, without understanding that it also needs to feel genuine. All the components for the story are borrowed from better films but then adapted without an understanding of what is necessary to make it credible.

For the story - I was catapulted into a world of romantic drama that stirred up my emotions in the most delightful way. The concept of the movie was very titillating. I enjoyed the emotional conflict that most people deal with everyday when it comes to loss and love.

For the production - It needs work, but to even be able to get it completed is success in itself. As everyone in the film industry knows, that is very impressive. I have heard about a lot of drama on set. DP'd leaving with the footage because they want more money. After already agreeing to the money offered. Or producers backing out of a project for whatever reason. Or a number of other things. So congrats guys for making this happen. Much success in the future.
