The Lumber Baron

Going into this movie I knew it was a small production and prepared myself for it. It surpassed every expectation!

The tree cutting got a bit repetitive but that IS the main story so it's forgivable. The boy wasn't very good but a little cutie with those glasses!

Onto the good! The clothes were gorgeous and very time appropriate. The hair dos were authentic and beautiful, as well as the crazy mustache! Completely on point with the time setting! The director's camera angles really impressed me! There's even humor thrown in.

All round an excellent movie! I'd love to hear more on the story! I love period pieces!

I was interested in watching this because turn of the century historical pieces are one of my favorite genre's. However, after getting into the movie a little bit, I was rolling my eyes at some of the conversations and found the screen writing to be horrible. The acting was sub par...some were better than others, however it was just a horrible screenplay with some horrible actors. I did notice the costumes and other settings to be interesting but this alone doesn't make a good entertaining film. I don't recommend it unless there is nothing else to watch, which in today's world, is impossible.

Predictable plot with stilted acting. Resembled poor amateur theatre. Couldn't wait for it to end. Seven bucks down the drain.

There are no extravagfanca in thif touching the heart kind of movie, the theme is spun around a familys lumbering business, where the father dies all of a sudden, and the son of the house has to try to take over the business on behalf of his mother and siblings. he is doing it the hard way by going undercover and learn the trade among the lumberjacks in the snowy icecold environment of the lumbering season.

the film is very well crafted, its cast delivers an extremely brilliant performance, and i cant remember a movie where the maincat and extras have done such hard working labour as in this film, cutting trees with ax and twin saws,twigging the logs and transporting it all.its so darn real life like.

i must also turn the spotlight towards the musical score made for this feature film, it is of the classical type, but so well spunned into the story, and it makes the film get wings for itself, and makes place for you to join this ride of darn well made classic drama.

this may not be the first choice to many, but as my wife sai,'' this was entertainment on high levcel'', and ditto from the grumpy old man. this was a extremely nice surprise, so if you want to get reset back to the early years of the 1900's, then choose THE LUMBER BARON. its highly recommended

The best thing about this movie, no cussing and clean. The actors could be a little more exciting. Neat storyline about our country's history though.
