Highly recommended for all, surprised twist that I did not see coming, but in the end, it all made sense. Great acting and directing, worth a second watch just in case you missed anything the first time.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Within the first 5 minutes, you know how most of the film will play out. It has one pretty good twist, but the rest of the story has been done before. Besides that, the acting is pretty good, the action scenes don't have too many cuts, and the camera feels fluid. \#luigi

"Sweet Girl" has a strong start, delivering a solid first act with compelling character development and an emotional premise that pulls you in. The performances, especially from the leads, are genuinely good and carry much of the film’s weight. However, as the story shifts into the second act, it begins to lose momentum. While the emotional potential is there, the dialogue often feels overly scripted, missing the natural flow and depth needed to fully connect with the audience. It tries hard to tug at your heartstrings but doesn’t quite land the emotional impact it aims for. The subplot involving the detectives feels unnecessary and poorly developed, adding little to the main narrative or the characters. Their inclusion feels like a missed opportunity to add depth to the story. On the technical side, the cinematography is serviceable but not particularly memorable, and the score doesn’t stand out except in a few moments. Overall, "Sweet Girl" is a movie with great potential and some enjoyable elements, but its missteps in execution prevent it from being truly impactful. It’s worth a watch, especially for the father-daughter dynamic, but don’t expect a fully satisfying emotional or narrative payoff.
