Judge Not

I'm always leery of indie or low budget movies. Maybe because I grew up with many of Hollywood's golden standard movies and I've become spoiled, in a matter of speaking.

All that aside, I have to say the group that made this movie packed a few pleasant surprises.

The cinematography was nicely done with some of the camera angles nailing perfection. The acting was good in some places and incredible at other times. The audio work was amazing; a testament that indies don't have to sound like they were ahoy in a fish tank. The story itself was something that needs to be made more aware. Kudos to the cast and crew!

I saw Judge Not at a local theater premiere and I must say I was very impressed. The story was well written with many serious moments and moments that were light hearted and made you smile. One of the things I liked about the movie were the various characters. I found myself really liking different characters for different reasons. One in particular made me laugh. I felt the main character did a fantastic job in her portrayal of a women who finds herself in a difficult place. I love how she involved her immediate family and really listened to their thoughts. The story was written in such a way that anyone could relate to her situation, and this made it "real."

I loved how the movie made me feel like I was there. The cinematography was top notch! Great angles and scenery which brought the whole picture together.

I would recommend Judge Not to anyone. It's a nice faith-based film which tells an important story.

Judge Not is a faith based movie however it does not come across as too "preachy." The film confronted topics and situations that are often shied away from it shunned by society yet occur everyday in communities of all sizes. The cast and crew did a great job of presenting a well thought out plot. By tying together concurrent storylines, the director made it relatable to people of many generations and backgrounds.

Some scenes were a little excessive in length but otherwise the quality of the film far exceeded the allotted budget.

All in all, a high quality movie with a great storyline and valuable message for all!

I had the pleasure of screening 'Judge Not' at a local theatre on a Sunday afternoon and the room was filled with attendees plus cast and crew, as a question-and answer session was held afterwards.

The film was enjoyable, beautifully shot and edited, and featured believable performances. While a faith-based film, it wasn't heavy-handed and dealt with situations that resonate with everyone.

Anyone struggling with pregnancy, faith, adoption or persecution are likely familiar with the themes explored in this film. It's characters are relatable, and the main stories touch on some uncomfortable situations many people face. With both light-hearted and dramatic touches, it's no surprise that there was ample applause once the credits rolled.

I laughed, I cried. But really, this movie hits home a point against being driven by a judgemental spirit. We need more love and grace in this world! "THE CHURCH" is called to be salt and light to the world that we live in. I believe that means that we should, show them the way to Christ and help make the bitter circumstances of life a little easier to swollow.

I love the message promoting adoption and fostering, as well as the warning to each of us as we reach out to people in our everyday circle of influence. We have no idea what people are going through from day to day. What a great lesson and reminder for each of us!
