No Turning Back

One of the best films I've seen this year! With the market being so over saturated with typical 'good guy, bad guy' Hollywood movies, it's a refreshing change to run into a movie that so beautifully captures humanity. Thank you to the director for taking on such a tough subject and not forcing you to feel a certain way about the subject matter but allowing you to experience all sides of the conflict. The acting is wonderful on so many levels. The father and daughter specifically give knockout performances. The story will keep you on the edge of your seat. The added benefit being that it'll touch your heart on a deep level. It's no wonder this film has won so many awards. If you're not convinced, go check out the film's website for the trailer.

Mr Nebot did an excellent job in picking a great story to tell and then telling it so well. His acting was marvelous. I would love to see this movie come out on HBO. It is an ideal medium for a film like this.

This was an absolutely brilliant movie...you get to see past the mistakes and choices that we make and into the heart of love at every step in this movie.

The acting is Oscar worthy by Jesus Nebot...and the support cast was phenomenal. There wasn't one moment that I was not hooked into this movie from fade in...until the big ending!

I laughed, and I had tears in my eyes more than once...it is what movies are supposed to be about...the journey into people's souls.

This particular story covered so well, multiple viewpoints of all people involved in the story.

You can feel the overwhelming pain and love of each character so well...and with each step...once again, love, compassion, and connection wins.

Do not miss this movie...it will stir you inside and make you feel things you may have never felt before. It will open your heart's door to the meaning of what it means to have "unconditional love" for a child...and the choices we make to protect them.

May this movie and the filmmaker be blessed with much love. :-)

Just saw this film at Sedona Film Festival 2002 - my favorite at the Festival. Jesus gives a riveting and sensitive performance of a good man who faces insurmountable trials after a terrible accident. This is based on a true story and demonstrates the importance of seeing there's more than one side to any story. Hope this gets a broad distribution!

This film has a great message. Bad things happen to good people, and you cannot always control the direction your life takes. Everyone in this movie has internal conflicts that we can really see, which is so interesting to watch because everyone in life has an agenda. We are all forced to make choices everyday in order to survive. So many films today go for the happy ending, wrapping a big red bow around it, but unfortunately life doesn't always play out that way. There is no obvious good guy and bad guy here. Instead, we see the propensity in all of us to be both simultaneously. I look forward to future projects from this director, who also happens to be the lead actor, writer and producer. Very inspirational.
