It requires you to think, stay the course, and appreciate the writer/director's message. I thought it was an excellent first film for a director, and the acting was well executed.

It is true this movie is a bit slow at first. But, all great movies are carefully crafted to open up layers gradually revealing the truth and the message. I would watch this film again and again. What a wonderful cast!!! The directions is real and masterful. The film is a visual feast even though it is set in a tacky burrow of New York of the 70's. Great selections of background misic clips too. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreIt positively crackles with energy, featuring startlingly raw performances from Shia LaBeouf as the young Dito, and Channing Tatum as Young Antonio. A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints is a lively, powerful coming-of-age tale with winning performances and sharp direction from first-timer Dito Montiel which makes this small overlooked film into a big hearted breathtaking movie for everyone.

this is not your typical superficial feel-good movie where problems are ironed out in the last 5 minutes with a few words and kisses. It is more real than that, and at times very disturbing.

It is more real than that, and at times very disturbing. To me, it was worth it though because it reached an emotional depth that is unusual in most of these types of coming of age dramas and the strength of the acting was phenomenal.
