Editorial Reviews

Smart and popular high school senior Natalie (Elisabeth Harnois, TV's One Tree Hill) thinks she has her life figured out, but everything changes when she meets a mysterious boy with nothing to lose. International singing sensation Jesse McCartney (TV's Summerland) is unforgettable as Keith in his first major feature film role. Offbeat and free-spirited, Keith takes Natalie on a deliriously wild journey unlike anything she's ever experienced. But he's got a dark secret...one that becomes Natalie's obsession to uncover.

5.0 out of 5 stars This film brought me back to life! February 25, 2011

By Marisa Amorando

Format:DVD

I don't pretend to be someone who's big into online commentary. In fact, I'm 29 and this is the first review I've ever written. Although I do consider myself a movie buff, I've never felt the need to comment on any of the movies I've seen, simply because most of them were forgettable. Sure, at the time, I may have thought certain films were outstanding,even moving. But nothing, and I mean nothing, has ever caused me to feel so passionate and so involved as this movie. It haunts me still! I find myself thinking about it in the middle of my work day, causing me to smile, or shed a quiet tear.

I recently lost my best friend to illness (not cancer but similar) and it's been almost a year. I haven't cried over her. I continue on with my life thinking if I just push forward and don't feel anything, that things will be okay. When I stumbled upon this movie on netflix, I thought it would be a cheezy teen indie dramedy similar to countless others I've seen and at best, it will atleast put me to sleep quickly (I'm an insomniac). Suddenly, I stepped into Keith's world and found myself enthralled.

The acting was superb to say the least, and while I did enjoy Elisabeth Harnois' performance, I have to say that Jesse McCartney was phenomenal as Keith. His performance was impeccable, and so incredibly believable. The chemistry between these two was electric. I felt it's waves coming at me through the TV set. I can go on to discuss the writing, plot, beautiful imagery, etc, etc. But, we love movies not simply for what they are, but for the way they make us FEEL. This movie touched me and awakened a place in me that I thought had died a year ago, with my best friend. After seeing this movie, something happened. My heart opened up, and I felt sad, and happy, and full again. I must have cried for hours after that movie ended, and that night, I had the best sleep I've had in a year. If you're tired of the same old thing, and you, like me are looking for something, something REAL, and TRUE, and moving, then please, see this movie. And remember its true message: That above all things, LOVE in its TRUEST and DEEPEST form, never dies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Whatever you've read or heard, Keith is better than that. January 31, 2010

By J. Martin

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

Keith is a movie about teenagers in high school, but it is not a high school movie. Reviewers who put it into that category, or who recommend it for teenagers only, are missing the point. The characters could be almost any age and in almost any situation, and very little else would have to change. Having them be attractive teenagers only means more people will see the movie, which is good.

Keith is one of the most beautiful, powerful, serious, joyful, triumphant, and universally relevant movies any of us will ever see. It is about what it means to be a human being in a random world, about how it feels to be inside--and outside--a powerful social and political system.

But above all Keith is about love--not the phony, sentimental melodrama of Hollywood romance, and not the impulsive, hormone-fueled engine of adolescence, but the love that selects two people, draws them together into one, and carries them together through every challenge that comes against them. Keith is about real joy and real pain, about life and death and everything in between.

Keith is a remarkable and very rare work of art. Every word, every gesture, every expression on every actor's face, every scene, every moment of this movie is perfect. Characters emerge and develop and grow and interact and fail and overcome as they should in every movie but almost never do.

I've been watching and loving movies for almost 60 years, and I've seen thousands of great ones, but if I could keep only one DVD in my collection, Keith would be it.

5.0 out of 5 stars "I haven't lied to ya this far, so I'm not gonna start now." September 15, 2009

By Lacy

Format:DVD

If you're looking for something unpredictable, gut-wrenching, utterly wonderful,and something to fall in love with, then this is the movie for you. The words the characters speak, speak true to you even if your story doesn't match theirs. Both of the actors were so set in themselves and in the story that to me it was top notch acting. I without a doubt, advise you to watch this movie, and dare you to let it move you the way it moved me. Excellent, 5 stars.
