Motel Room

This excellent piece is heartbreakingly poignant and, at the same time, so powerfully hopeful. In a superb performance, Kaitz gives her Megan a depth and a sensitivity that belie the sex-worker stereotype, letting her maternal instincts spill out with young Sevag which allows him, for the first time, to reveal his secret. Encouraging him to unload this burden, she becomes his champion, igniting in this fragile boy the idea that he is deserving of his dream and that it can be his reality. After he leaves, we see Megan automatically revert to her own bleak existence, leaving us aching for her and her own broken dreams. This beautiful film carries the important and always-timely message of acceptance, affirmation and love. Gorgeously shot, wonderful performances!

I loved MOTEL ROOM! Tammy Kaitz was absolutely wonderful. What a beautiful, subtle, heartfelt performance. The other characters were also spot on. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is struggling with problems of identity and exclusion. Bravo!!
