Fresh Kills

This is an absolute MUST-SEE!!! One of the best acting, writing , directed films I have seen!

Loved it!!! Amazing to see the focus on the women of the mob!!! Really difficult to watch cried several times but so glad I got to see this!!

This movie was spot on. This is a true glimpse into the life of a mobsters daughter. I am from Brooklyn /queens and grew up in fix era. This movie could have been a portrayal of a lot of my friends lives. From the accents which we have lol Yes we talk like Connie The clothes of that era The fighting , smoking , cursing I felt like if was a glimpse back into the 80’s and 90’s living in queens For those that aren’t familiar queens and brinks aren’t far from Staten Island. I enjoyed the movie I think Roses character was too quiet though A true Italian girl doesn’t keep her mouth shut 😀😀

Excellent movie! Very moving.

This movie was so raw and so real! It really gets under your skin and stays with you long after!! Incredible acting and holy cannoli(!!!) I did not see THAT coming!!!! :0

How is this movie not nominated? This movie should have several awards but yet not many know it exists 😞 Sad to see Hollywood hasn't changed!

A brilliantly refreshing view of the 'gangster' genre. Grabbed and held my attention for the duration, with brilliant performances all around. So good to see a film that's built on the emotional drama, and less on the male machismo and violence.

Having grown up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in Little Italy in the 1950s, through 1970s, and then living on Staten Island, I must say that this movie is so true to life. The way Martin Scorsese,, who grew up on my block, Elizabeth Street, portrayed real life in the old neighborhood in “Mean Streets,” this movie tells it like it was living in Staten Island in the 1980s and 1990s. This is real stuff…from the aromas of gravy in the hallways of the old block, to the shadows of the mob on Elizabeth Street and later in Great Kills, Staten Island, this is a Powerful portrayal of the Italian Mafia, and Italian family life that I so well remember.

It was a very good movie. I really liked the ending.

Jennifer Esposito really knocks it out of the park with her directorial debut. She's excellent at getting performances from her young actresses, including what just might be my favorite performance of the year. Emily Bader is sensational and heartbreaking as Rose. Well worth your time to see a different perspective of a world we're all familiar with thanks to so many mob movies. You haven't seen this one though.
