    One with God

    Triple threat Dzifa Mallet shines as director, writer and lead in this tale of wasted youth. It's not until Darnell hits rock bottom that he is able to see the divine light towards redemption. Challenged by vices and sin, he finds a second chance through a chance meeting with Imani. The glue that holds this highly emotional film about redemption is the great onscreen chemistry between Dzifa Mallet and Brittney Seals. This film balances upbeat moments with captivating emotional hardship taking place in some of the most depressing settings, ie: hospital, funeral home.

    One hundred percent recommended.

    Redemption, Love, Forgiveness

    Dzifa Mallet, the writer, director and star, did an amazing job. I thought this was going to be a totally different film from the beginning scenes. I was pleasantly surprised. It's a story of ego, suffering, hope, redemption, love and forgiveness. The cast was excellent with standouts in the roles of Darnell (Dzifa Mallet)...Estelle/Mom (Missy Lee)...Imani (Brittany Seals). The story was a bit formulaic, but there were some surprises along the way and it was directed and shot in such a way that was very interesting to watch as well as the use of some great locations. The multi-talented Mr. Mallet has a great future.

    Straight to the heart.

    I just watched the movie THE REMEDY FOR A BROKEN HEART.

    The movie has a lot of strong scenes that I enjoyed watching.

    The movie is directed by Dzifa Mallet. Lead actors I enjoyed watching were also Dzifa Mallet playing the character of Darnel and Brittany Seals playing the character of Imani. . The movie has good suspense, very good dialogue and drama, and was also shot in a cool way. The production value is quite high! Even though the societal situation of homelessness is addressed in the movie, that's not the main focus of the movie. I enjoyed watching the character of Darnel as he can be inspirational and overcomes what society and life seem to throw at him. Your heart may be pulled in many directions as you're watching this movie. I also thought the two lead actors had great onscreen chemistry- they were cute together and I was rooting for them.. I look forward to what this director and actor can achieve in his bright career! Check this movie out!

    Real Life issues in a solid drama film

    This film definitely hits home with many features of homelessness present but while that is the protagonists main situation, the film is not all about being homeless. Its the story of a young man defying the modern stereotype and trying to be better and make others lives better around him. The two main characters Darnell and Imani are somewhat unlikely but they give great performances and we can feel for Darnell as he struggles with what life throws at him. Some good plot twists and and good ending but not too cheesy. Overall a good watchable character romance drama film and enjoyable for a Sunday afternoon at home watching movies.

    Great message

    I love the message that went along with this movie. This movie is a powerful reminder of what determination and hope can achieve! The storytelling is gripping, and the performances are truly inspiring.

    It takes you on heartwarming journey that uplifts your spirit and encourages us not to judge a book by its cover. It also reminds us of the power of perseverance and hope. The lead characters delivers a stunning performance as they fight against all odds for a better life and they each deal with hardships prior to crossing paths with each other.

    The film beautifully captures the essence of resilience, showing that with dedication and unwavering faith, dreams can indeed come true. I highly recommend this film as it is a must-watch for anyone facing challenges and are in need of inspiration.

    It will take you on an emotional roller coaster where you'll find yourself laughing one minute and crying the next.

    This is a great family movie and I highly recommend this movie especially if you are in need of some inspiration.
