Ripple Effect Reviews:
introsection for a winner turned loser 
2009-10-09 - What are the sins of a man that weight him down
toward death? There are real events that hang on
our consciences? Here a fashion designer has to face his agony
of remorse and finds an unexpected result.
The end of the movie leaves the conflict of the theme unresolved for me.
The movie has great acting and is well written mostly, but
some of the elements are mysteries like why the rich friend
go back on his 12 million dollar promise.
For a movie that deals with fate and motivation,
the result is more artistic than constructive?
An enduring and positive tale of human redemption, highly recommended

Weaving the tale of African-American cutting-edge clothing designer Amer Atrash, Ripple Effect explores a burgeoning crisis that threatens to destroy Atrash's business and his marriage. Re-examining himself, Atrash reasons that the source of his ills comes from a detrimental deed he committed fifteen years earlier, and sets out to atone for his wrong. In the process he undergoes a revitalization of the spirit, awakening to the value of compassion. An enduring and positive tale of human redemption, highly recommended. 83 minutes, 16:9 aspect ratio, color.
