Latest on American Violet
Last year was great for American independent cinema; this year, not so much. The lineup for the 35th annual Telluride Film Festival has been announced, and only two U.S. filmmakers made the cut -- Paul Schrader (Adam Resurrected) and Tim Disney (American...
One of my favorite things to do at Telluride is talk to people in line and on the gondola about what they've seen, what they've loved, and what they've hated. The folks who come to Telluride tend to be smart folks who love film, and I always have some...

This is the most oustanding, greatess movie that I came to enjoy. It showed just how some parts of Texas and other states are with dirty policemen and lawyers and judge\'s at the top of the list. I ... say this cause I\'m a Texans homegrown and retired law enforcement. I think every female should see this. I\'m glad it is on DVD so I can ********* my granddaughters can see it. Full Review
Great movie. The acting was good. The story is heartbreaking, but it is the reality many face in America. I would recommend you watch.
This is an excellent movie. The cast portrayed the characters very well. I also agree with rmccain15165 that all races should go and see this movie. Nicole Beharie will have a good future with her ... acting career. It seems that we will never be equal because the DA was re-elected. People of all races need to stand up for what is right and fair. We are not living in 1942 people lets get a reality check. My generation will not out without a fight. I totally agree with Dee Roberts for taking a stand in what she felt was right and not take the plea deal. Full Review

Excellent movie. Nicole Beharie is going to have a great career. The movie speaks to things that some people don't want to hear. I highly recommend it.
