Forbidden Fruit

About This Movie

Forbidden Fruit is an intriguing piece that dives into some heavy themes without flinching. The atmosphere is thick with tension as the preacher's daughter grapples with her decision to step into the world of dance, all to cover her father's medical expenses. It’s not just about the choices she makes but the ripple effects on her personal relationships, which gives it a real emotional weight. The pacing feels deliberate, letting moments breathe, which adds to the character development. While the direction is from an unknown filmmaker, there’s a rawness in the performances that feels authentic, capturing the inner turmoil without glossing over the grittiness of her new life. Definitely a film that evokes conversation afterwards.
