Dying to Be Loved (2016)

Excellent, a Must See

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

I didn't like the story at all I mean think about it she's a lawyer yet she's going about doing all this stuff without telling anybody about it, except the Man's brother who she suspects. Sometimes I cannot watch shows because it's just so ridiculous she's on the phone with the man yet she doesn't tell him where she is. The movie is almost over yet still I feel I just want to turn it off because it's so typical what's going to happen

First off there's a lot that doesn't meet with real life in this one. The boy with a record wouldn't have been allowed to work as a security guard anywhere. The policeman brother would have not been allowed to do anything on the case because it involved a family member. The boy would have been locked up in jail for the murder charges. The mother should have filed a complaint against the policeman brother with his commanding officer. The policeman brother would be under investigation by internal affairs and possibly suspended from duty. The movie would have a more believable plot!! I can think of more, but mainly I'm sitting here thinking about fast forwarding to the end. By the way, I do like Lindsay Hartley so started it because she's in it!!

***SPOILERS*** They were young and in love but not all there in the head especially the girl Emily Yates, Paloma Kwiatkowski, as they decided to take a lovers leap off the bridge and end it all as we see at the start of the film. Why did these two young persons Gary Smith, Jedidiah Goodacre, and his 16 year old girlfriend Emily with everything to live for do themselves in at such a young age? The reason is simple in that because all they had to look forward to in life was for was a long stretch behind bars in a road rage murder and assisted murder conviction waiting for them back home in court! It's Emily's mom Jill Yates, Lindsay Hartley who refuses to accept her daughter and her daughter's boyfriend Gary's death and since the bodies were never recovered Jill feels that they faked their suicides and planned to start a new lives together somewhere in the "Sky Country" of Montana as husband & wife raising and selling cattle to the public! As Jill soon finds out she was half right in her assumptions. With the help of private investigator Al Jennings, Jay Brazeau, Jill finds out that it was bad boy Gary who not only planned the whole thing but is holding Emily hostage by keeping her comatose and off her meds to get Jill not to only put out for him, Gary has this thing about older women, but pay him some 25 grand as ransom.***SPOILERS*** With her wimpy and scared of his own shadow but well built, like Arnold Schwarzenegger, 6 foot 4 inch 230 pound live in boyfriend Connor, Dan Payne, not willing to do anything but leave it to the out of touch local police who by now dropped the case. Jill goes on her own to save her daughter Emily risking both her and her daughters lives whom Gary and his brother a member of the police department Ritchie, James Pizzinato, are planning to murder if she doesn't come through with their demands. Gary despite being a 1st class mountain man gets himself together with his brother Ritchie lost in the woods trying to track down Jill and her daughter Emily who escaped from his confinement and trying to get back to civilization. Being a poor shot Gary guns down Ritchie, who looks nothing like the two women he's chasing, by mistake and then finishes him off to keep Ritchie from spending the rest of his life, when he's caught, behind bars with every convict there looking to get a piece, in Ritchie being an ex-policeman, of him. As for Gary he ends up like he started at the beginning of the movie in trying to fake his death by falling off a cliff to his death, after Jill whacked him, and this time cracking his skull on the rocks below!

Annoying leading lady Lindsay Hartley snoops around for her lost daughter. She's got these bug eyes, treats her boy friend like crap, goes against almost everyone to carry out her purpose. But she fails. Gets caught by the her daughter's boyfriend and then I just turned it off as I was sick of watching this silly nonsense. No acting laurels in this one. I just had not feelings for anyone in this. Maybe the boyfriend who Hartley was terrible to named Connor. He tried to help but she was really lousy to him. I hope when the film ends, he is gone. I'll never know as I don't want to know how this ends, believe me. I see I need more lines about this. Hard to find anything else to critique. Only to repeat what I already said about Hartley not being good and rest of cast at the mercy of a bad script and not too good acting.
