A drama of four interconnecting stories revolving around love, drugs and poverty in Philadelphia.
Leave your thoughts about Explicit Ills.
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferAn impressive directorial debut that manages to be a throughly compelling, honest and socially conscious drama |
| Not Coming to a Theater Near YouRumsey TaylorExplicit Ills is a filmic tapestry, and it is a cohesive, fluid one. |
| Minneapolis Star TribunePeter SchillingIt's the best reflection of inner city life, and its effect on children, since Charles Burnett's 1977 drama Killer of Sheep. |
| Time OutAlison WillmoreThe film's cast and the fluid camerawork are as hip as can be, and in this age of Obama, so is the sentiment -- unflinching but optimistic. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyWebber is good with his actors, but he tries to do too much, depict a portrait of the lower-depths in Philadelphia, present a cautionary tale and call to arms, and also suggest a personal memoir or living in this particular city. |
| Boxoffice MagazineMark KeizerInitially promising but ultimately maddening. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonA good first effort with heart felt acting but this film does not provide the thrills and spills some expect from inner city explorations |
| New York TimesManohla DargisIt's a beautiful message: surely there's no arguing with "Hey, hey, ho, ho, poverty has got to go!" But there is much to argue with, and much to regret, about a film whose director thinks he needs to drop an anvil on our heads when art would suffice. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisA tender ensemble slice of inner-city Philly life. |
| Metromix.comMatt PaisA serious social drama without insight, a unique point of view or, seemingly, much of an understanding of its own issues. |
