Review of A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006) by Sabrina L — 02 Jun 2009
In his filmmaking debut, Montiel draws many an excellent turn from a young cast of actors that I didn't think had performances of this calibre in them -- Tatum and LaBeouf in particular. He wrings his life story for every ounce of drama it's worth, and the film he creates is very worthwhile.
Honest, moving, at times shockingly dramatic. There are moments that left me breathless. A very strong debut piece, and I'm excited to see Montiel work with material that isn't his own life.
