Toe to Toe NY Times film review
NY Times rave review says the film "Toe To Toe," which opens in NYC today, "is likely to languish in art-house limbo, far from the eyes of its ideal audience. That is a shame because Ms. Abt provides an unsually honest, compassionate and challengeing view of contemporary youth, neither sugarcoated nor prurient." Has anyone heard of this film since it was shown in the competition at Sundance last year?
The line in the Fandango review that explains that the drama was "inspired by a study that indicates interracial friendships end at age 14 for approxiamtely 87%of American teenages" won't help get this film an audience.
No one mentions the sex that may get it an R rating or the great dancing combined with very well recieved sound track with some Arab takes on hip hop. I think trying to get this movie on Oprah might be its only hope to be seen.
Have your say!
