It can be said that a film is made or broken in the casting process, and this has never been more true than in the case of Lisa Savy James‘s debut feature, “Defying Gravity”. The film’s three leads (Alexandra Mathews as Cassandra, Mario Martinez as Jorge, and Macauley Grey as Shore) are not offensively bad, it is just that they’re playing things a bit broadly and obviously. If they’d been propped up by a decent supporting cast, this film may have worked. But as it stands, this is far from the case.
