Reviews
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Mandy Ford This movie is a reminder of the roller coaster of emotions a movie should elicit in its viewers. Comprised of plenty of suspense, romance, action, and mystery, this film is enjoyable from start to finish. It revolves around Cassidy, a struggling actress who goes to audition after audition with no luck. Anxious and nerve-stricken about never making it big, she takes a job at her mom's boyfriend's jewelry store as a diamond runner to save money to move to Hollywood. When her paychecks aren't up to her standards, she teams up with the owner's son in a shady get-rich-quick heist that proves more challenging than they'd anticipated. With plenty of twists and turns, this movie will leave viewers guessing until the very end. Great lighting, special effects, and editing makes this movie pleasing to the eye and leaves much room for analysis by technical film fans. This is a movie for everyone: business owners, fashion-lovers, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, etc. The characters are vibrant, deep, and all so different that any type of viewer will relate to them in some way. Imperfections is simply a well-done, entertaining film that reminds us all that though we're not perfect like real diamonds, we're priceless in our own ways.
Isaac Landry I'm a huge film buff and have seen many crime/heist films in my day, however, one that stands out the most is a new movie I watched called Imperfections. It's a comedy/crime thriller that is sure to keep you at the edge of your seat the whole time! The story line is centered around a struggling actress named Cassidy who is at her wits end when it comes to getting a job. It isn't until her mom, Val, comes home from a date one night with a job opportunity at a diamond importer business in Chicago that she decides to get herself back on track. However, while at this new job she meets the owners son, Alex, who shares his get rich quick scheme with her in order to help pay off some debt, which sends the movie in an exciting new direction. I think that the directors did a great job making each character as realistic as possible, and the cinematography was excellent. My favorite aspect of the film has to be the comedic relief that pops up unexpectedly from scene to scene, to give the audience a break from the thrilling narrative. All in all, I loved this movie and highly recommend keeping it on your radar!
kaylifsutl Imperfections is laugh-out-loud funny! This romantic comedy/drama will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. If you liked Shameless, you will love this movie, Zach McGowan (from Shameless and Agents of Shield) is even in this movie! So are Ashton Holmes from Revenge and Virginia Kull from Boardwalk Empire. This all-star cast performs with perfect chemistry in this unpredictable suspense film. The film is well-paced and even has a twist ending making for a well layered movie. It is centered around Cassidy and her new job as a delivery girl for a jeweler in New York. She gets caught up in a get-rich-quick scheme that doesn't go according to plan and leaves her mixed up with some con-artists in a heist gone wrong. This film is full of dry humor and authentic characters that you are guaranteed to fall in love with. Fans of crime thrillers, romantic comedies and suspense films will love this movie!
David Trotter Comedy, romance, thrilling action; few movies can manage to include all of these elements at once, but Imperfections does so and uses each element expertly. Following Cassidy, an aspiring actor who – thanks to her financial situation – starts a job delivering diamonds for her mother's new boyfriend. When her boss's son reveals a way for them to steal diamonds without harming their business by faking a robbery, the two plot to get rich quick. Their plan is easier said than done however, and trying to put it into action leads complications, from the return of Cassidy's drug-dealing ex to entanglement with local gangsters. The cast, featuring familiar faces such as Zach McGowan (Shameless and The 100) and Virginia Kull (Boardwalk Empire), all seem to fit perfectly for their roles. The characters are realistic and relatable, and make you want to see them all succeed – even when they are at odds with each other. The writing in the film is phenomenal as well. Each character has their own hidden motives, all eventually revealing themselves and intertwining to make for a complex and interesting story. For a fun and unique heist movie, I have to recommend giving Imperfections a watch.
