Just perfect...

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I stumbled upon this film purely by word-of-mouth and was absolutely blown away.I had no idea what I had gotten myself into when I chose to watch this. I only knew that it was a coming-of-age film about a young guy from a small town who wanted to experience more beyond the confines of his sheltered home. The realization that I was watching a story about a curious and driven person who was challenged to balance duty to his family, loyalty to his friends, and inherent need to forge his own path was an incredible shock that resonated to my core. Moreover, I was also impressed by how this film skillfully portrayed delicate and complex issues including abandonment, domestic violence, and heartbreak in a way that truly felt organic and authentic. It made me laugh. It made me sad. It made me reflect on my own past and I thoroughly enjoyed this thought-provoking film. This film is definitely an amazing piece of work and I absolutely recommend checking it out!

Few films evoke true emotion from the audience. This surely one does. The viewer realizes that not all Americans have the same life opportunities due to the accident of birth into families of all types and socio-economic standings. The scenery and locales that the viewer experiences are true rural Florida. This film develops the specific characters to an extent that the personalities and spoken lines will resonate as one engages in his own life and among one's own world of real life characters. Viewers cringe as the characters live their lives and inflict their antics on each other. There are the rogues, the hussies and the innocent locals who can't see life's bigger picture.A little gem to see.

I saw Born And Raised, I loved the naturally of the performances, and the way the story was being told, helped you to understand and make you feel that you are part of the Film as well, the music by Jay Vincent is a perfect fit for the story, there's a balance between the movie and the music, and I think that's very important, Of course It's a must see movie, It's a very down to earth Drama, with no exaggerations, just straight to the point!I Like the color of the film, every character grows into you, as the film evolves, its a very professional job, and definitely is a film that keeps your mind busy after watching it, it has its funny moments and heart touching parts as well.Amazing cast and script, this is a living proof that, it is not needed a huge amount of money to make an amazing film.A must see!

A poignant story about the desire to expand one's horizons and the dangers of drifting away into emptiness and loneliness. The film centers on young Bubbs (Writer Nick Loritsch) wants to leave Panama City, Florida and travel the world like his grandfather who is despised by all in the town for the grief he has caused Bubbs' mother. The film features gorgeous photography of the Floridian Coast accompanied by a soundtrack featuring country music by Jay Vincent. The film's central focus and probably greatest asset is a tremendous performance by Jackson Pyle as Frank, Bubbs' free-spirited grandfather. Pyle carries himself with a strong sense of gravity, but always pokes in a little joviality when one least expects it, giving an otherwise weighty story some levity. The rest of the cast provides strong support, but it is Pyle who carries the film on his shoulders throughout.
