North to Home

Not knowing the book, I appreciated this film for nice try - and succes in good measure- to be more than the usual Hallmark.

It is a beautiful film about family, parenthood, future plans and reconciliation with yourself.

Well acted, it reminds, in fair manner, simple, basic truths, offering the vulnerability of characters as honest premise for define the esential importance of support of beloved one .

Three sisters present at their mother 60 years old birthday.

Each of them is front to a choice, from the clash between passion and moral duty, to the birth of child and the desire to comeback at work after a lot time consacred to children. An accident, changing in radical manner their lives is the shadow around anniversary.

But, sure, the end can not be a surprise.

So, little more than nice.

9.0 stars.

I feel that less is more with this film, and if I try too hard to do it justice, I might say too much. 'North to Home' is a journey that must be appreciated by everyone, a masterpiece worthy of receiving awards.

It's a tear-fest start to finish...happy tears, reminiscent tears, loving tears, gripping tears. The acting is absolutely superb, these ladies shine like angels. In addition to the sublime performances shared by the women, the men also stand out in spite of their backseat roles.

Hats off this this film, it's probably the finest Hallmark I've seen. It is balanced so perfectly with all elements seamlessly working together. It's about a family that reunites for a mother's birthday to share the memories of past tragedy, courage, and healing. The characters are so likable, and the relationships are equally as authentic and full of life, energy, and depth. Fonseca, Sustad, Durance...Enough said. Each of them tapped into some magic from deep inside themselves to bring us a perfect interpretation of a family coming together to share life and all it has to offer.

I will honestly say this is the most well-rounded film I've seen in a long while; and although 'North to Home' is not my highest rated Hallmark, it is by far the best one.

This was a beautiful drama. Unique story with depth and heart. Love the importance placed on the family working through difficulty and reconnecting. I won't elaborate in order to avoid spoilers.

This was a very touching (and realistic) story of the aftermath of a 25 year old tragedy and what happened to the siblings involved. Thoroughly enjoyable and "believable". Sad, joyful, well worth your time.

Hallmark Movies and Mysteries has shown it likes to take on some heavy topics, particularly around the death of loved ones. This one was well-acted and well-directed but a little too heavy on melodrama, particularly between the sisters. An enjoyable film with strong performances. Really like Lyndsy Fonseca and hopes she does more movies with Hallmark, but feel like she's cut out for a more lighthearted role.
