Catch the Fair One Reviews
Gritty, raw yet powerful. Sheds a light on issue that’s not talked about.
I was an extra in the movie. Being a pro fighter anything violent kali portrayed naturally. Her acting was serious and on point great flick. I just found out today she's in true detective 4. I'm litterally going to get HBO max today to watch.
The story of redemption by sacrifice, the ultimate stoic warrior.
...lástima el final....
Shite! Minimum characters not met so shite again!
Gripping viewing but it's quite short and ends abruptly, which makes for a feeling of having been robbed of a proper ending. Obviously there can't always be a 'happy ending' but the ending didn't fit the build up.
Undoubtedly , this is one of the best movies of the year. It keeps it real and doesn't tie everything up in a nice bow tied Hollywood happy ending. The missing women in the US, Mexico, and the Indigenous population don't want to hear the whiners who complained during their reviews about the disappointing ending. GET OVER IT! That is the reality for the thousands of girls who go missing every year in this world. As was stated in the movie, "no one's looking for them, because no on cares". We know who runs this world and they were prominently displayed as the antagonists in the film. I guess that's why no Oscars and other awards this film is richly deserving.
A gritty and grim independent film experience that has a lot to note on the realities of human trafficking, especially the more vulnerable demographics. The film spares no time (and even seems to suggest how quickly things happen with this subject matter) transporting viewers to the waist-deep aspects of its conflict. Kali Reis gives an impressive physical performance here, and even holds her own in the more emotional scenes. Director Wladyka keeps the action grounded to the main protagonist, never letting us the viewers feel above her experiences.
Kali is a powerhouse.Should have earned an Academy Award nomination.She is that good.
Kali Reis is a star in a film that one day we will look back on as the beginning of a wonderful career in the acting profession. This picture is about human trafficking and how it is happening in plain sight. The dramatic feature, written and directed by Josef Kubota Wladyka, is tense and taught. The final scene may take you out of the movie, but stick with it and it will all make sense. There was one character that took me out of the film. If you watched Ozark and know of Darlene Snell, you'll understand that Lisa Emory is basically playing the same person and there is one scene in particular that is eerily reminiscent to a scene in Ozark. A horrible casting choice. This one will be in the wheelhouse of watchers of Ozark, and that will be all those people will be thinking about. That being said, it is a really good film and the spotlight should shine bright in trying to stop the crime that was mentioned above. This film is as good as I've seen in doing that! Final Score: 7.7/10
It was horrible. She dies in the end getting shot..... doesn't even get to question the guy behind it all and we have no idea whether the sister is alive or dead. Pointless movie.
O filme é sombrio demais, apressado na construção dos personagens, e um tanto quanto inverossímil. Só inicia após 30 minutos.
An impressive movie by director/writer Wladyka in just his second full-length picture, and by Kali Reis in her first. Reise gives a strong, authentic performance here as a Kaylee, a woman suffering from great loss, both in her family and her professional career. Once a champion in the ring with a loving sister and mother, she's now a shell of her former very powerful self, living with guilt of her lost sister and a mother who still blames Kaylee for that loss. 3 stars
It tells a pretty grim tale, but does it well. An awesome acting debut for its lead.
This story behind sex trafficking young girls, especially native Americans, and the violence, and seemingly unsolvable nature of these crimes, was exceptionally and powerfully protrade by the lead actress. This was powerful, a must see.
Catch the Fair One (Tribeca) is a movie about a former boxer looking for her lost sister. It has some of the feel of a revenge movie but is closer in look and tone to the Vanishing (1993). It is more about how far you would go to get someone back. It stars actual boxer Kali Reis, and she has real acting talent. Of the films so far out of Tribeca, this is the one that could be a crossover mainstream hit. 3 1/2 stars out of 5. Catch the fair one is slang for "to fight"
