Barbara B @barbfrmrp Oct 31, 2026 It was a nice film about your first love affair. The acting was great. Loved Catalina Sandino Moreno as Sarah. She was a great find. It was a good independent film. I could see in the future that William became a rap songwriter with all his poems, and got to get along with his father and all his stepfamily. See more

Nov 26, 2019 Borne out of a novel written by Ethan Hawke The Hottest State is a valiant effort and one that should get more artsy credence thrown towards Mr. Hawke's way. The Hottest State makes two interesting changes from the book. The first is to move the vacation location from Paris to Mexico. The reason for this is likely due to economic and/or logistical factors, but it's seamless. For the purposes of the story, one location does as well as the other. The second change is to replace the book's overweight, "funny looking" Sarah with the gorgeous Moreno. This subtly alters the dynamic between William and Sarah. The Hottest State is a little talky but the conversations are generally true-to-life and interesting. The book is perceptive and the movie, which directly excerpts whole conversations from it, is no less so. This kind of thing that can happen when the writer of the source material has complete creative control over the movie adaptation. See more

Oct 10, 2013 The folksy music assists the storyline with mood and emotions that compliment the actors as they expound the script. Naturalistic acting gives an overall sense of the complicated web of the mind as it seeks to comprehend the beauty within a relationship. Softly acted, bringing forth many thoughts and emotions as the heart breaks. Nibbles: Carrot cake and butterscotch sauce. See more

Jan 13, 2013 A játékid? egy jelent?s részében ez töltötte ki a gondolataimat: "Zzzzzzzzzzz..." A maradékban pedig ez (ahogy a f?h?s verg?dését elnéztem): "Mi a f@sz bajod van neked???" See more
