    Terrible Script

    I ordered this and want my money back. The script makes no sense and seems like it was improvised. The scenes were very folding and dark. All the characters are one dimensional and difficult to comprehend since the sound of quality is very poor. The actress names Renee does a good impression of a clown when she makes believe she is crying to the point this comes out as a comedy. Former real estate agent Michele Frantzeskos is not a good actress. The worst actor in this travesty is William Demeo who seems very confused when playing the role of a psychiatrist. Seems like the positive reviews are inflated.

    Not so good

    I watched this with my girlfriend because I was interested in watching a show that talked about the Covid pandemic quarantine, and the mental health effects had a different communities. The show has no diversity and does not talk about quarantine Covid so the title is very misleading rather you see a FaceTime video of four people talking about their personal lives and they never seem to discuss the impact that the pandemic has on them so it was misleading. Also, the script made no sense. Not sure how this was filmed, as it looks like, for FaceTime videos consolidated into one, but it was not professionally filmed, and the lighting in each of the four characters backgrounds was very dim and empty.

    Award winning film to help people

    This award winning cast and film is inspirational and lets u know "it's ok" to "just be yourself." It helps people to feel good about themselves through turbulent times and gives you the strength and courage to know there is always help out there! So many individuals are afraid to get "naked mentally" this film will give you the strength to be proud of who and what you are no matter what you are going through. The characters are very relatable and this film reaches a broad audience. I highly recommend this film! It's a great self help film, that will empower and inspire you to be proud of your authentic self.

    Amazing cast

    Wow! What an excellent film! The cast was beyond talented and the topic was beyond real. The cast and crew deserve praise and recognition for this award winning film. The acting was authentic and real. Directors Renee Wood and Michele Frantzeskos did an amazing job! All female production. Jane Dashow did an incredible job with editing and sound. I'm hoping to see another film with this cast. They all have amazing charisma and did an outstanding performance on this topic. Mental health is real and I thank everyone involved with this film!! U all did an extraordinary job! Covid was a hard tough time for this planet and I commend all who were involved in this movie to help raise awareness for mental health and to feel safe to talk about your feelings and emotions.

    Terrible Show; Poorly Done

    This is the absolute worst show I have ever seen. The acting was very bad especially by Renee Wood who over acts the role and sheds fake tears. Michele Frantzeskos is barely audible and speaks very low you cannot hear anything. Their worst actor was William Demeo who tries to play a psychiatrist and is not convincing. The only actor that was good was Steve Stanilus who did a good job delivering his lines. Also, the cinematography was non existent and this looks like it was filmed in zoom. My favorite scene was when Michele tells Renee she will do whatever it takes to remove criticism she does not like.
