Stay dangerous

A pleasant surprise.It rapidly establishes the setting, the deep attachment between a mother and her 5-year-old daughter in a low-income drug trafficking environment in which she appears to be embroiled.This works wonderfully, as I can testify because I had the kind of daughter adopted at the age of five, who had the similar flamboyant, ironic demeanour. Little Mia Love Disnard is a natural in acting, and we will see more of her. She will brake many male hearts too, when she grows up...Their interaction with the outside world is likewise truly natural and refreshing.While the mother has a caring heart for her child, she has learnt to be rather bitchy in order to endure in the outside world, where best friends may become deadliest foes by the blink of an eye. Seeking protection from Santa Muerte, the patron saint of those living on the outside, mother and daughter paint half of their faces symmetrically with a bony skull to become one. Brilliant symbolism. Their common tagline is "Stay dangerous".Two wannabe-promoted narcotics investigators threaten her with Child Protective Services if she does not agree to fool a drug boss by wearing a wire. However, the surveillance goes wrong, the wire malfunctions, and the trap fails to operate as intended.From that point forward, the film accelerates progressively and steadily, both in camera cuts and shakes (which I typically despise), razorsharp with a furious rythmic score until the last scenes, up to what I personally consider sustainable. It's all really spontaneous and short. There are no boring moments.And some unreasonable choices are plausible given everyone's emotional stress levels.The film is not particularly imaginative, it appears to be a narration of a terrifying life experience without delving too deeply into the characters' backgrounds. However, the primary characters are adequately distinct, the narrative is straightforward, and the outcome is transparent.A refreshingly spontaneous entertaining film that simply does what it means, with no pretensions.

A POTENTIAL CULT CLASSIC

Fans of crime thrillers and dramas are sure to be delighted with this directorial debut from Emmanuelle Pickett. The intense journey of the protagonist and the great length she was willing to take was executed and shown in such relatable and straightforward manner. The performance of the protagonist was nothing short of amazing. I just wished that the movie was longer and the story was clearer. At times it gets confusing what was really happening because of too much shooting and confrontation scenes, and I wished that the story arcs of the characters were firmly established. Also, dark cinematography was too utilized which made the film too serious to watch.

Impressive Directorial Debut

Emmanuelle Pickett directorial debut is impressive.All Souls deliver beautiful cinematography, stellar performances from the likes of Mikey Madison, G-Eazy and Mia Love Disnard along with a score that adds an extra layer of drama and suspense. While All Souls takes us on a dangerous undercover operation in the street of a composite of Los Angeles, it also taps into the heart, resilience and desperation of a mother who is willing to do anything to protect her daughter. While there are moments that are predictable in the ploy the film dives heavy into character work that carries the film along with its production team.Really looking forward to Emmanuelle Pickett next project along with the cast involved future in cinema.
