It's a slice of life story with pathos, tragedy and social relevance . The acting is quite capable but the three child actors tend to outshine. The main problem with the movie is that it appears to be completely shot with a single hand held camera -- this gives some immediacy and intimacy to the story, but it becomes virtually unwatchable in places with excessive use of 'sweep' shots.

I give this Film a 10 it was a Wonderful Film. I am 48 years old. I grew up as a White Man but "UNFORTUNATELY" IN A VERY RASIT HOME LIFE. So watching this Film I understand alot of what she was going threw. It's not that she was "ANGRY" with her two children. But working for such IDIOTS SHE MUST BE CARFUL BUT. The lost of her Husband and Single now. She kind of put up a wall a bit. She didn't mean to just being Careful. But I really Loved how this Film had a very nice Ending to it. Oh and that little song at the End was pretty Awesome Lol. Great Film it is a must watch. Even tho it is a very low rated Film. You must watch it anyways Great Sunday Night Film.

Stephanie Turner portrays an illogical character who's too difficult to properly connect with, but at least her performance is slightly better than the stereotypically tedious plot itself. If you reckon you've viewed enough dramas about relationship struggles and dramatic characters, that's all Justine really is, so just avoid it.

Whilst the performances may be faintly strong, most of the characters are just plain foolish and certainly aren't attachable. The characters will just anger and bore you, leaving you in frustrating disappointment. The acting can't even save how visually hideous the whole movie is. It was honestly a great idea to have the camera moving around frequently and focusing on certain subjects, but it got to the point where it appeared as if there weren't any tripod to sit the camera on and move clearly.

Justine is also a very noticeably independent film. That's always due to the quality, but the storyline of an unexpected friendship between two struggling characters is so average, predictable and completely unoriginal. Those calling the film a divine must-watch or a heartfelt tale clearly haven't seen many of these kinds of movies. If it sounds appealing to you, it probably will be, but Justine is just an unfortunate bore-fest.
