Reviews
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
mattsantia The performances steal the show, but like Butler's other films, this is top notch filmmaking plain and simple. He loves to get into his character's psyche and take the audience on a ride. You can't get much better than this. I am impatiently waiting for his next film.
Munish Manjunath I was quite at awe on how much talent there is within Michigan from all backgrounds be it in Direction, Storytelling, Production & of course Acting. Only after watching the trailer I drove almost an hour & half, waited it out until late evening just to watch this film in person at the MadeInMichigan Film Festival(2017) in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Boy was I in for one good treat of a watch! Being an actor myself, I realized how much pain & hard work has gone both behind & in front of the camera. Brilliant direction by Robert with some great camera work! Amazing performances by leads Julie & good friend Aphrodita to say the least! All the very best to the entire team Girl On The Mat (GOTM).
