'Honor Roll Boys' (MiamisFF Review): A Bit of Harmless Fun
Initially feeling like a passionate group having a bit of harmless fun with filmmaking, it leads to something sinister enough to leave a mark.

Rebecca (Anny Duperey), a lawyer, realizes that the young man (Julien Crampon) whom she has exonerated after a brilliant defense could in fact be the culprit of the murder he is accused of, and that he may be planning another crime. Rebecca's personal inquiry leads her all the way to Belgium, where she crosses her ethical 'red line' when she meets Malice (Emilie de Preissac), a young police officer. An impulsive hot head, Malice leads her on a wild ride through Brussels.

Throughout the film, Kate desperately tries keeping her status as an influential YouTuber; however, her follower and view count crumble, mirroring the world around her.
The film does not add anything to its own conversation or genre, and falls flat once it’s about to end and must declare some sort of conclusion.
A quiet film that does not demand your tears but earns them. It explores love that lingers, timing that fails, and the silence between what was and what could have been.
Earth and Blood is slow, but it still has it’s entertaining moments. If you’re into thrillers, or want to watch something new, then this film might be for you. As for me, Earth and Blood was tolerable enough.
