5.0 out of 5 stars An Incredible Experience, September 18, 2004
This review is from: Anne B. Real (DVD)
I'm no fan of most rap and hip hop or most poetry, for that matter, so I was amazed by this movie. It captured me. Not only did it give me a new appreciation for the art of "rhyming," but the compelling story and talented cast really won me over.

At the risk of mis-branding this film a "chick flick," Lisa France has tapped into an inner voice and angst that's too typical of American teenage girls (and women). When we allow others (let alone ourselves) to discourage us from pursuing our dreams and talents, we are our truly own worst enemies.

In reality, this is no "chick flick." It's a gritty slice of city life, with its share of violence and loss. You won't find any incarnation of Meg Ryan here (not even in the pleasant surprise of Jackie Martling's brief stint as a curmudgeonly teacher).

Simply put, I was swept away, by the music, by the energy, by the writing, by the acting, by the vision and visuals, and, of course, by the unique play of words flowing from the experience of this aspiring teen "rhymer" against the inspirational words of Anne Frank and the resulting evolution of this teenage girl.

This is a movie you will want to own and share with friends of all ages and watch over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic film!, July 26, 2005
By DreaGFunk (Nashville,TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anne B. Real (DVD)
Although I love the music, I'm not normally a fan of hip-hop/rap movies, but this one really struck a cord with me.
Anne Frank's diary has been my favorite book since I was a small child. It's one I've related to through my life just as Cynthia did in this film.
It's very rare I can say this, but...I have nothing bad to say about this film. It is just phenomenal!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real 8 Mile, October 22, 2003
By Jamie (Menomonie, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anne B. Real (DVD)
I had the pleasure of viewing this feature at my university and talk with the director after. This movie to put it simply is amazing. Anne B Real captures the true story of a young girl with dreams beyond any of her friends and families comprehension. Half black and half latino, no believes she has a chance to make anything out of herself in the world. Death helps her find her way and helps Anne break out of the little box she was trapped in since her fathers death.

This movie is a must see for anyone who liked 8 mile. This would be a bigger hit, if 8 mile wouldn't have came out at the same time. Unlike 8 mile it doesn't sugar coat the way life is on the street, and doesn't rely on big names stars to help promote the film. There are a few known actors in the movie but for half of the actors, this is their first time in front of the camera.

The director is amazing in her camera work and her story line. She struggled hard to make sure there wasn't a single swear word in the entire movie, a feat never heard of these days. I look forward to seeing more of her films in the future and wish her luck on all her ventures.
