Fresh Kills really hit home. It was so good, that it actually made me uncomfortable.
The visual esthetics, the characters and the overall sad story. Only someone who had lived or experienced that time could have put that much detail into a film. I thought all the actors did such a great job. Jennifer Esposito did an outstanding job both in producing and acting in this film. It was impressive to see a film focus strongly on women's perspectives in the context of the story. Traditionally, in films of this nature, they are dominated by male roles. The approach of coming from a woman's perspective was empowering and also heartfelt and painful to witness the realities of some families. I would definitely recommend seeing this film. Bravo to all involved.
