Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

karinrjeffrey Finding a safe place can be hard when you don't know where you belong.This drama is hard to watch, but engaging. Vanessa Hudgens turns in a compelling performance as a feisty street kid who is searching for her identity amid hard choices. Rosario Dawson, James Earl Jones and Brendan Fraser fully inhabit their roles. The film addresses poverty, class, systemic racism, white privilege and the problems in the shelter system. Not a big film, but thought provoking.

villavicencio9881 Seen on Netflix was excited because of the high ratings.. It was like one of those 80's and 90's aware movies they showed you in school to keep you from doing drugs, running away, or having premature sex. Basically it was a movie with sequence of worst case scenarios.. With really bad acting on Hudgens part and her obviously fake accent and Justin Bieber brown wig. It was a diss to the whole urban community from a suburban parents perspective. I was only able stomach 36 minutes of it before I shut it off. That is 36 minutes of life I could have been doing something else and will never get back... Boooo Vanessa Hudgens!! Stick with playing the "pretty girl" in your silly high school drama movies.. And leave the drama to the professionals.

peter-eldon Ronald Krauss, wrote, directed and produced this heartbreaking true story about Agnes "Apple" Bailey. Vanessa Hudgens plays Apple, a 16 year old pregnant girl, who is looking for shelter and a better future after being abused and left for herself all her life. Gimme Shelter is a well told and produced film about hope, family, society, and reality. This inspiring story makes you open your eyes, it makes you feel, think and understand all parts and sides of life. It will most certain leave you with a tear in your eye. Hudgens performance is so authentic you can feel all the emotions and tension the film portrays of her character. Hudgens has really taken her acting seriously and is growing as a respected actress. Since leaving Disney and performing in Harmony Korine's Spring Breaker 2012 together with another "Hollywood Made Innocent Sweetheart" – Selena Gomez. Hudgens has really been showing more of her personality and impressing with her skills and choices of films. I think she should of been awarded for this amazing and real acting. The casting in this movie picture is spot on and when looking at the path Hudgens seems to be taking, it doesn't look far off from the road cult hero Rosario Dawson, who plays her mother June in the film, took with her acting career. A couple of fun surprises with Brendan Fraser and James Earl Jones that I've not seen around for a while, also spoil us with some good and true performances.The last few years more independent films like this are breaking through on to the bigger stage and giving us the public quality films with a meaning that are raising big issues, and questions about the society we live in.

sanghaejang Amazing film...Never seen Vanessa this great before...She is totally amazing actress.I had not convinced she would able to break her "Disney" barriers until this film.Her performance is amazing and emotion are so real...The characters are amazing... Amazing story and so realistic.Could always relate to.It is totally about getting back up when you're at the bottom of your worst.Accepting help and finding who you are...Also about forgiveness and friendship and "HOPE"....
