I spend a lot of time looking for good movies to tell people about. Since I found this movie during it's amazing run through the festival circuit, I have not stopped talking about how good this movie is. Finding a story that works to tell a real story about people who are more than just paper thin stereotypes is hard enough, but then making you root for them not just during the movie, but wondering what they are doing when you as a view leaves them.
The director seems to have a keen ability to make things feel real. The cast is very talented as both actors and fighters.
I feel like I discovered a huge secret before anyone else. I can not wait to see what this group does next.
And - watch this movie. It is amazing and very much worth your time.

Very well performed
All of the acting in this flick is outstanding and potentially award winning. Shannon Murray and Catherine Erb were perfectly cast as Daughter & Mother.
An entertaining movie with a few surprises.

A great surprise
Excellent fighting drama. Emotional, observational. I liked it much more than I expected. Great cast, well done screenplay a few cliches, but satisfying and convincing. Promising filmmakers.
