Gimme Shelter (2013)

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Right after my weekend watching High School Musical, and surf the channels to watch this film really surprises me. Vanessa has always been the actress with sweet smile and sweet character, I was always thought that with her face expression, there is no way for her to step out from that kind of image from the audience. You may think of Spring Break, I know, but her acting and outstanding performance in Gimme Shelter, is totally shocking me. This time, she puts out all of her acting skills and live with this character "Apple". If you are well aware of her works, you will see a different eye in "Apple". Those desire and desperate of her feelings, is something that you can't see in her previous works. (Not to mention her famous HSL, that was total immature) I gave this film a 10 stars ranking, not only because of V's excellent work, I do enjoy the story. Good movies can inspire people to be better and to be kind to other people, I hope you will fell that same.

Amazing film...Never seen Vanessa this great before...She is totally amazing actress.I had not convinced she would able to break her "Disney" barriers until this film.Her performance is amazing and emotion are so real...The characters are amazing... Amazing story and so realistic.Could always relate to.It is totally about getting back up when you're at the bottom of your worst.Accepting help and finding who you are...Also about forgiveness and friendship and "HOPE"....

Review: This is an extremely deep and emotional movie about a girl who has a disturbing upbringing and ends up on the streets, pregnant. After trying to make a connection with her father, she finds herself with no were to go and a priest points her in the direction of a shelter which helps her through her pregnancy. She then finds out that there are other girls that are in her position and she finds friendship within the girls and the owner of the shelter. The performance from the leading character was brilliant and extremely real. Nowadays, all teenagers think that they know better than adults which is shown throughout this movie until the main character accepts the help from a stranger, played by James Earl Jones, who was a great choice. I really enjoyed this emotional drama, especially when you see how Apple's world totally turns around for the best. When you see the real girls at the end of the movie, it really does touch the heart and it makes the whole movie seem more real. Enjoyable!   Round-Up: Apple, whose played by Vanessa Hudgens, is mostly known for her role in the High School Musical franchise and she has also played violent characters in Sucker a Punch and Spring Breakers. She was a great choice for the main role because she brought emotion and realism to her character. Rosario Dawson usually looks stunning in her movies, but she looked awful as the demon mother who doesn't know how to love and struggles with drug addiction but she played her part extremely well. Brendan Fraser wouldn't have been my first choice as the father of Apple but, surprisingly, I like watching him play a serious role, for a change. It's great to see James Earl Jones back on the big screen and he never fails to put in a emotional performance. I have to give full respect to the girls who have to go through these difficult situations in real life. Thank God that there are shelters that can help them through trying times.Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $1.6million (Terrible!)I recommend this movie to people who are into there emotional dramas about a homeless girl whose pregnant and has no way to turn. 6/10

I am not one to cry at films, actually I have never cried over a film, except maybe for Bambi as a child; I cried during most of this film. The emotion of Apple was raw, real, and very believable. The situation of these girls was so sad, and yet was wonderful how they all found each other and had a safe, happy place to live. Vanessa Hudgens is a wonderful actress. I hope that this film inspires others to lend a helping hand to children, teenagers, young adults that were or are in similar situations as the girls in this movie. To no have one person in this world that actually cares what happens to you must be the worst thing to experience.
