I don’t quite remember how I came about this film, but from
what I do remember the performance of the main character James White played by
Christopher Abbot was something to behold. As I watched it was terribly hard
not to feel for this character and want to help ease the pain he was going
through of having to deal with some tough life issues. Of course there were
parts where you just wished he’d just stop being an asshole and suck it up, but
as a viewer that is easy to say and to actually live it, is another. I really
appreciated that about this film having lost loved ones at an early age I could
relate to the feeling of helplessness and the dull nagging pain of the ultimate
loss. So for JAMES WHITE I give it 4 stars as I enjoyed the emotional story,
the performances of Christopher Abbot and Scott Mescudi. Further more I would
also recommend this film to certain friends who could appreciate the dark
story.
