This one is like watching a home video of someone you know personally. Although I don't agree with (or condone) much of what Niecy does, I can most definitely understand her making the decisions she made. Just watching the relationship between her and her mother made things easier to relate to.

Often times, it's the very same people that hold you to unobtainable standards, that push you to do emorale and/or illegal things in the first place. It's the unspoken words that sometimes hold the heaviest weight.

Without giving away any plot destroying information, I would like to say that this film proves that there are those out there on the wrong path that can, and will be able to turn their lives around for the better...

As always, Kerry Washington gives a brilliant performance.

I highly recommend this film...

Just like life, every character in this movie has flaws... including the intelligent and clean-cut main character who's shoplifting big-ticket items even though she has a nice job. Her mother requests an expensive necklace, which will require a jewelry store heist to acquire. She decides to go ahead with the robbery, although her boyfriend begs her not to do it. To complicate things, she then learns that she is pregnant. Is she willing to risk everything to please her selfish mother? This movie gets into the psyche of each character, which is really the reason I loved watching it. It's not about stealing as much as it is about family, forgiveness and love.

THIS IS GREAT "HOOD" MOVIE WITH A LOT OF STARS IN IT. I 1ST SAW THIS ON BET, BUT IT WAS EDITED FOR TV. I RECOMMEND THIS FOR ANY WHO COLLECT GOODIES LIKE FRESH, G, AND CLOCKERS!!

This was an excellent movie. Well written and well acted. I wish this movie had a sound track. I really liked the song "Solitaire" that played at the end.

All the cast did their thing! I also noticed that some Bosyon Hip Hop artists were in there like Beyonder and DL! That was hot!

"Lift" is a great film addressing organized urban crime. The more significant message, however, is the depiction of inter-generational patterned behavior. Kerry Washington and Lonette Mckee shine as mother and daughter each acting out of their own individual emotional turmoil.The interaction is remarkably true to life. Director Demane Davis brings inter-generational issues to the surface and forces viewers to face behaviors most people would rather hide in their closets. Watch it!

If I never see another film, my thirst for sincere and captivating performances will be quenched by the shining Ms. Washington and the amazing Barbara Montgomery. This film, despite its rather gloomy setting, is eventually all about redemption and hope. The stories of those in Lift are noble, real narratives about love, courage, and transformations. I loved seeing Kerry Washington running so fast in this movie and she was pregnant and not wearing running shoes.

I like this movie because it shows there is more then one reason for crime. The movie explolres the strained family relations based on abuse and how the family goes on a very dysfunctional roller coaster ride.

I purchased this movie because I kept seeing the case in Blockbuster but they never had the movie. I like this film. Kerry Washington pl layed a great roll as a booster of high priced merchandise. She was so smooth in everything that she did, but eventually had to pay the consequences. I would definitely recommend this movie. I like the look of the film in that it is not highly stylized but looks like an independent film.

I THINK THIS IS A GOOD MOVIE!
