Heart Warming and Thought Provoking
Hiding in Plain Sight is a story that may not be very foreign to those reading this review. A tale (based on real experiences) of a family effected by the recent economic crises. Kelly O'Neil Jackson gives a riveting performance as Darius Blackmon...trying to make a way for his wife and two children. Its a story of true love, compassion and faith. This is a MUST SEE movie. You will leave the theater with a sense of gratitude but also a true need to do for those less fortunate. Beautifully directed by M. Legend Brown. He has proved to be a force to be reckoned with. Get out to see this film and request that it be screened in your city! --- MUST SEE/NEED TO SEE---
god Awful!
With such a high rating I decided to watch this movie. Have I watched the same movie as you?! Seriously?! Terrible acting. Sounded like a good storyline but too many instances that would just not happen in real life. You wouldn't take your children with you to live on the streets if you had family who could help. They were living out of their vehicle (which must have run on free gas!) for 6 months before they approached their mother for help. When the homeless Mum approached her Mother to confide she had previously mentioned she had plenty of leftovers but yet no mention of accepting them for the kids when she left. Also why didn't the homeless Mum go have a shower at her Mothers before going for interviews?! If the boots were the answer to all their troubles then why didn't they ask family or their church for this small token of help. $500 at a church service?! Does this really happen?! If so why aren't churches providing room for their homeless with the amount of money they are making. The other family who were also homeless received a hotel voucher and simply disappeared never to be seen again. This would not happen, you would never turn your back on people going through the same experience of troubles, knowing firsthand how awful it is. When their free gas running vehicle was broken into... who would sleep at night with all vehicle doors unlocked?! Utter nonsense. Burn the bible I say and save your $500 for your family.
Poor acting hurt this story.
The message was heartfelt, but the acting was awful- forced and stiff.
Powerful Story
Hiding in Plain Sight touched my Heart Soul and Spirit. Words, I pulled from this incredible story...God, Family, Love, Unity, Faith, Believe Trust and triumph (Words to Live By)- Let Go and Let God!!!! (Powerful Life Changing Words) This movie makes you stop and Think, as well as Appreciate what you have in your life at the present time, because at any given second, it all could change. In today's economy, Who can't relate to this story? Education and a man's Love and Care to make a Difference. We need more of this in the world today. There was struggle in each part of the movie, even with the family that seemed to have it all. BUT when you also have Trust, Understanding and Compassion, it changes things. Sometimes, I wish people could see through the eyes of those living in despair. Although this story had a happy ending, not every story will, but that doesn't mean....Give up. "Let Go and Let God!!! Oh one more Word...."BOOTS", who knew hearing the word Boots would be a tear-jerker! I give this movie 5***** You my dear, you poured every emotion you had into it, your energy was so strong, down to your facial expressions of pain. Kudos to Sharice and the rest of the cast, you all were simply... AMAZING AMAZING!!! AMAZING!!!
