Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

karoline480-859-766509 Jeremy Renner has to be one of Hollywoods finest. He plays the role of a neo-nazi serving time for a race related crime in a mental hospital with brilliant ease. At the facility, he meets a young African American woman who believes she is Adolf Hitler. The two of them forms a strong bond that lead Ned (Jeremy Renner) to a new found path of love rather than hate. The movie itself is quite remarkable, painting a picture of a unique relationship without falling into any plot shattering clichés. Both lead characters Ned and Racheal (Gabrielle Union) provide stories that are both complex and heart breaking. The movie does rely on the viewer to figure out the main character Ned, which is far from a problem. Renner plays the part with such a strong conviction that the audience is left feeling what his character does, and not once does he make the character feel unrealistic or synthetic. As far as Unions role goes, she has no problem following her male college. She proves she is more that capable of playing deep interesting roles, and that her talents go way beyond her repetition. The movie might not be perfect; from a personal point of view the soundtrack may be a bit of and does not complete the vibe in the movie. But all those little things is forgotten thanks to such brilliant acting and a well written and heart-warming/breaking story.

RebeccaWood Heard of Neo Ned? Not too many have. I, in fact, discovered it last night while I was working the closing shift at the movie theater in my town. As it turns out, the producer of the film is from here and decided to offer a free showing with a Q&A at the end. My opinion: this movie should not have been free. In fact, I wouldn't have minded paying $10.00+ to view it. I would even dare to say that it far surpassed every other film in our theater, and possibly every film that we've had for the last six months. So, to shorten and conclude my rant: It was amazing.Neo Ned is a story about love, or as a previous audience member mentioned "anti-hate". Ned is a neo-Nazi who grew up in an array of torn homes and who witnessed his father's arrest, which tore him away from his son for many years. As an adult, he ends up in a psych ward, only to meet a black woman, whom he falls in love with.This is certainly not your traditional love story. In all actuality, it quite possibly breaks many, if not all, of the rules of tradition. But who really cares? Overall, the writing, directing, and acting were superb. Hollywood: stop giving us your half-baked movies and start putting real movies with real stories in our theaters. Neo Ned would be a great way to start.

friendsoflime I just saw this movie at the Ashland Independent Film Festival and it was amazing. The acting was top notch, the script great, the story interesting and compelling. It was absolutely hilarious and heartwarming, while maintaining that rare sense of reality. It was all around a good quality movie. Don't let the scary and twisted plot outline throw you off, the movie is about so much more. Gabrielle Union and Jeremy Renner had great chemistry on screen and they both did well in their respected roles. I would highly recommend this film to anyone and I would love to see it hit theaters nationwide. The rest of the audience I saw it with enjoyed it as much as I did. Afterward there was a Q&A session with Van Fischer the director, one of the producers and one of the actresses, it was pretty awesome. again, highly recommend, go see it when it comes near you, you wont be disappointed.-Dooder

fmg05 I was able to see this film at the Tribeca Film Festival last week and walked away incredibly impressed with Jeremy Renner. I'd seen him in Dahmer so expected another good performance, but was truly blown away. The Village Voice compared his performance to DeNiro's in Taxi Driver and I can see why. Gabrielle Union was also good - this film is nothing like her previous work. I admire her for playing this part and also for defending her decision to do so. I think the director Van Fischer should be commended for spotting this interesting screenplay, having the vision to create such a compelling story of love, and being able to make it actually happen. If you like quirky romances, this film will satisfy you and then some.
