Milton's Secret

The storyline is what drew me to watch this movie. It started out slow, but I really wanted to see where it would go and I wasn't disappointed. Donald Sutherland is superb in this. The storyline is very contemporary and credible. I would definitely recommend this. Well written, well acted.

In light of Donald Sutherland's recent passing, I would be remiss if I didn't say that his performance was the only thing worthwhile. Even though I thought that including a hippie grandpa was a lame writing choice and all his dialogue went in one ear and out the other. Overall, it was a bore fest of a film that perhaps tried to give a philosophical message on how to lead one's life or forgive others.

The movie was so unrealistic and dreary. I didn't feel any emotions and the kid actors had nothing to offer. Every performer seemed so agitated and overextended.

There was a slight glimmer of hope when it came to showcasing the young man's anxiety. Otherwise I found myself turning my head away from the screen and wondering if it made sense to turn the film off. I wish I had trusted my instincts.

The 5 stars were given because I expected more mystery and obvious miracles.

I came back because it's an excellent movie that will speak to a lot of "beliefs", including atheism.

This movie has a lot of valuable lessons in it, very suitable for schools to show this in class. This movie reminded me of the wave, very educational for kids and adolescents.

Bullying is a good topic to address but with the way things are in the world it's just gonna get worse. If people would actually listen to the advice in this movie and put down their cell phones, and really talk to one another we might just make some progress, instead of regressing.

I must say I love this movie, it is valid and it contains current situations that adolescents and adults go through in schools, work,online and in the house, I definitely recommend this film Milton's Secret, as a family time-out and discussion. It is time to rebuild communication line's in our digital age.
