Review of Guys Reading Poems (2016) by Melinda H — 02 Mar 2018

This exceptional film had a tremendous impact on me. Not only is this film a cathartic experience to anyone who has suffered childhood abuse but the take-away is that forgiveness must be the last piece of healing.

Powerful performances make this a film you cannot take your eyes off of. The poetry is thoroughly entertaining and thought provoking. The film keeps you thinking long past leaving the theater. Vasquez brings a humanity to her character that invokes equal parts rage and empathy from the viewer.

Impressive film from Hughes. I look forward to his next project.
