    This is beautiful!! It gave me teary eyed. This is a wonderful initiation to a lengthy movie. I'm sure he's going to explore the, "What next", which will be a wonderful outcome and conclusion. Please convey my insight, and my eagerness for the lengthy version of said movie. Congratulations Tarik!!! Exceptional work.👍👍👍👍👍

    This short film is clean with well defined characters. It tugs at the heart! It is relatable as it is memorable.
    I feel elements of “The Prodigal Son” - how his mother met him almost at the gate, how she ignored the envelope, that hug she gave!
    This is top notch Tarik.
    Part 2 please.

    I am hungry for the other 1 hrs and 11 mins 😇.
    Tarik's short film had all the right elements, warmth, lighting, background music, passion, layers of emotions, and depth, and it stimulated laughter, excitement, anxiety, raw feelings of vulnerability and it left me wanting to see more.
    ✅First world.
    ✅First class.
    ✅State of the art.
    ✅Magnificent Excellence!

    This is such an awesome film!! I need to see the rest!! It reminds me so much of the Prodigal Son (me) and His Father (Christ) waiting with arms wide open to welcome me Home. He wants nothing to do with my past. He's just happy to have me back. Beautiful!!!

    Hey man! When the mother and son hugged in that final scene... One bag of emotions came over me... Mi get goose bumps! That hug says everything is alright and will be alright. Again we all make mistakes, and sometimes we just need that hug, that assurance that it will be alright. We will beat up ourselves, but at the end of it all. We will be alright. I wish I could have the embrace of my mother one last time... The amount of unloading I would do on her shoulders, just through my tears. #wonderfulfilmBro #TimeHeals

    I loved this short but intensely emotional film. You could feel the overwhelming sense of guilt from the young man, for he cared that he lost his mom's money in a venture he went into but failed. And the forgiveness she showed was heartwarming. Once again excellent script and acting.

    This film “Time Heals” is an excellent production. The story, characters, acting, impact and originality are all excellent. Showcasing such a quality production with all Jamaican talents, all Jamaican cast and all Jamaican setting has demonstrated that good quality film suitable for family to watch can be produced here. The only difficulty I have is that this film is too short. It should be minimum, 30 minutes long.

    Very powerful short film. It took me through a range of emotions.....identifying with "failure" and the shame that comes with it. In the end though Daniel's apprehension was over rided by his mother's forgiveness

    I endorse this short film because the theme of a mother's love for her child is so precious and forgiveness by a mother to her child is a given.
    I have noticed the many young men do not have a good relationship with their mothers.
    I love it.
    Congratulations Tariq.

    A proud mother sent me this Film to watch and it grabbed my attention from the onset. The generosity of the store owner is a perfect way to remind others of what Christmas is all about; the interaction between the young sales clerk and the late comer was very sobering. I love the genuine emotions displayed, and the ending...what a great conclusion! It left nothing missing although so brief. Among the things I took from this splendidly crafted short film is this: Christmas time is a perfect time to begin the healing process. Thank you Paula for sharing.❤

    I lost my mom during the Christmas season and I honestly don’t celebrate Christmas because of that as well as the commercial and capitalistic notion around the time.
    All in all. An awesome short clip. Well written. 🙌🏽

Even though it was short, it captured a variety of emotions and messages which a 1hr movie sometimes isn’t as effective as this was.
