The longest standing ovation (full house too)I can recall in many years at The Woodstock Film Festival. This film is fully engaging and so moving. We all attached to the characters and shared their discomfort, anger, sadness and confusion. The music was seamlessly worked into the dialog and it was varied and emotionally real. There wasn't a soul who left without vowing to be a more open and less judgmental person in life. GO! whenever it gets distribution!
Plot summary
A New York City subway train stops in the tunnel beneath the city with six complete strangers stuck inside the rear car. The strangers are a cross section of New Yorkers, of different race, culture and age. The emotions of the trapped, frustrated strangers explode, as the subway car becomes a kind of magical, musical, conduit cell. A place where strangers reveal through song more of themselves than any of them ever could have imagined.

A must see
A simple premise, executed efficiently...
A simple premise, executed efficiently, six problematic and completely different people involved in a musical debate, at the same time dramatic becomes fun and a very emotional ending, here we see that no one enters our life by chance, each one has a purpose to get in or out of it...
Stuck is a fine musical about disparate characters on a subway train singing about their troubles
Just watched this at the Louisiana International Film Festival & Mentorship Program at my local Baton Rouge Cinemark theatre. It was the last film presented there. Giancarlo Esposito and Amy Madigan are among the players stuck on a stalled subway car. There's at least four more in this same car-two male and two female-sharing their frustrations in song. This was quite an eye-opener concerning different people of different races and classes. I highly enjoyed this as well as a short that preceded it called Spell. I also enjoyed a documentary about the Louisiana flood of 2016 called 1000 Year Flood about something I personally experienced during that period. So on that note, I highly recommend Stuck and those other films I mentioned.
