Movie Reviews of 12 and Holding
Movie Review: This is a sad movie.
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie is full of gripping tragedy that grabs you and doesn't let go until the very end at the climax of the film. I wish I had stopped watching it many times as it played out because each phase these kids went through was so painful and hard to watch, but I wanted to see if there would be meaningful redemption and so I continued watching. Two of the three central characters transitioned through painful circumstances to have a hope for a better future and improved relationships with their parent/guardians. The third character and central story of the film is so deeply influenced by a grieving mother who wishes death for death, carries out a plan that will only lead to a lifetime of guilt and regret. I felt the director was saying that this was justice. I say there is no justice without mercy. The kid who carried out his mothers wish may never be free from what he did. It is so sad. As a piece of entertainment, it passed the time and left me sad and disappointed in humanity. As a piece of art, it explored some very important themes that left me feeling empty. I was moved. But I can't endorse this film. I suggest you avoid it.
