Vincent N Roxxy (2016)

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Blistering performances.

Vincent and Roxxy is not going to get any gongs at the Academy Awards buy it's a hell of a ride. Tough farm boy saves hard-up ghetto chick, niggly sexual tension ensues, inevitably there's a love scene, the past catches up and the ending is very gratifying. What in god's name is not to like? But I guess stories with twists, sympathetic characters, unlikely interracial love stories and righteous kickass endings aren't what people go in for anymore. Go figure. Anyway, I've given up looking for echoes in this world.

Vincent (Emile Hirsch) rescues Roxxy (Zoë Kravitz) from being attacked. She reveals that she's in trouble after her brother's murder. Vincent is reluctantly helping his brother JC (Emory Cohen) start his own garage. JC's girlfriend Kate (Zoey Deutch) helps Roxxy get a job at the bar. JC is unable to let go of violence and Roxxy's trouble follows her.This is a violent crime drama. With a couple of intriguing actors, this seems set for an interesting movie. In the end, the writing is not up to the job and the directing has limitations. It needs to get to the conflict sooner. There are too many filler scenes especially in the first act. The dialogue is weak. Hirsch and Kravitz could have been great but they are allowed to be static. The violence is a little shocking at first but it is nowhere enough to save this.

...that makes you think about life. About the choices you 've made and the wrong turns you took, to end up spending your time, watching movies like this one.But since you can not turn back time, the only thing you can do, is warn other people to stay away.

Directed by Gary Michael Schultz, Vincent N Roxxy is an amazing film. It's a simple story, superbly written, faultlessly directed, and delightfully executed. This is a love story of sorts; love of family, friends, significant others, and money, even. The film is intimate, and you'll find yourselves embracing these characters, faults and all. My reason for giving this movie ten stars? Half of those stars are for the performance of the actors, direction, soundtrack (provided by ?estlove), and production. The other five stars are for the experience of having watched this film. Not many films have touched me the way Vincent N Roxxy has.It stars Emile Hirsch as Vincent, and Zoë Kravitz as Roxxy. Both of whom put on an outstanding performance! Zoë Kravitz, however, shocked and amazed! She puts on a jaw-to-the-ground performance at one point in the film, none of us in the theater imagined would take place.If I had to label the film, I would call it a "hard-boiled romance". Hopefully, Vincent N Roxxy picks up a good distribution deal, and finds a larger audience. It truly is that good.
