I am now living in the heart of the film industry and have been involved in the film and theates industry for almost 50 years.I started out in New York...

I would not be welcomed by the Rileys

Welcome to the Rileys hassome excellent performance by actors James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo withKristin Stewart portraying a stripper /hooker who steals the film her realitybased character,

 

 

Director Jake Scott uses theNew Orleans backdrop for most of the film and uses the city'scharacter to create an emotional link but Ken Hixon’s script falls short for meon a very personal level. I lost my son Adam a few years back and mydaughter Lea has a Kristin Stewart feel so the script misses the point of whatthe reality of what that loss is like. Most pieces are missing in the puzzleand we cannot fault the actors who do their best based on the dialogue .Yesthere is a sense of loss but when it really hits you and you have children whocan fit these characters ,it would not be like this ,Ask me and will answer youfrom my heart
