Please don't read the film's synopsis if you are interested in seeing this based on my spoiler-free review. While I don’t think that it’s considered a spoiler, part of the film's central theme comes as an exciting surprise.<\/p>\n

This is another entry from Saban Films (the same company responsible for the American incarnation of the Power Rangers). I’ve reviewed several films from Saban this year, and while I don’t know if they’ll be in the running for an Oscar anytime soon, they do something few direct-to-streaming style films do. They keep me consistently interested from start to finish. They’ve been consistently releasing films since 2015; the odds are even if you don’t realize it, you’ve probably seen some. (2017) POWER RANGERS, 3 FROM HELL, JAY AND SILENT BOB REBOOT, GUNS AKIMBO, (2021) WRONG TURN, and many more are just some examples of their releases. My personal favorite recent release was AMERICAN CARNAGE.<\/p>\n

A few minutes in, I wasn’t sure where the film would go; it reminded me of a standard rom-com. That isn’t a bad thing, but I wasn’t expecting much else, and then boom, the theme mentioned above came into play and completely changed the film. Making what could’ve been a mailed-in story far more interesting. I will say that the film deals with mental health, and I am far from a professional on the subject, so I don’t know if it was handled perfectly. I do feel that it was respectfully done, though.<\/p>\n

If you’re a fan of the Star Wars universe, you may recognize Bonnie Piesse, who played Aunt Beru in the Star Wars prequels and returned to the role for the recently released OBI-WAN KENOBI series on Disney+. She was the highlight of this film and made me appreciate her performance.<\/p>\n

As a whole, I think this is probably my second favorite release from Saban, and I hope they continue on this quality and trajectory of films. I have a few more releases of theirs coming up, so I will report back.<\/p>\n
