There is something about character-driven dramas that gets to the heart of the human experience, turning a simple, yet effective, movie into more of an emotional ride for audiences. Directed by Ben Snyder from a screenplay by Elizabeth Rodriguez (who also stars), Allswell in New York (previously titled Allswell) captures the beauty of a heartfelt, and generally well-told character-driven drama. The film brings the drama, but its never overdone and the performances from the cast elevate the material, adding dimensions to the characters lives.
