Miles Between Us

The fact that I didn't grow up without a father, this film certainly resonated with me quite a bit. Interesting too that the father character, Scott Dauer, is a film producer, just like my late dad was who was a screenwriter. The relationship of father and daughter (played by Dariush Moslemi and Anna Stranz, respectively) is pretty compelling, starting out testy but they slowly bond as they spend more time with each other.

The dialog feels natural, peppered with comic moments as well as profound spiritual conversations that is organic to the story. I enjoyed the performances from both leads. There's humor and touching moments, which makes the road trip far from boring. The only part that I find a bit awkward is the scenes between the daughter and a film star her dad's pursuing for his film. Overall though, it's a well- crafted and well-acted Minnesota-made indie drama that should appeal to teens, families and the faithful communities. Props to writer/producer Scott Peterson and director Andrew Hunt, it's a lovely little story of pain, hope, healing, and redemption.

I've found that when deciding to watch a movie, it's best not to look at reviews because for reasons that often times have nothing to do with the film, a film will get a bad review that isn't warranted. I kind of feel this film could be included. Not knowing anything about the film (including that its a 'christian' film) until after when I came to the site to look up information on it, I thought this was a good independent film that hit all the right notes - I laughed, teared up, felt sentimental. The actor who played the dad (Dariush Moslemi) was great, there were several laugh out loud moments and his facial expressions were priceless. The daughter (Anna Stranz) was charming and sweet, really giving a good performance of being torn between being angry at her previously absent father and wanting to have a relationship with him. A really feel good movie about forgiveness and reconciliation.

I agree with other reviewer's criticisms of this movie's contents. Beware pied-pipers who tickle the ears, say what some people want to hear, rather than saying what they truly need to hear most above all else in this universe, and thus, this movie leads people towards their own & others' eternal damnation. The movie's positive aspects are like sugar coating on spiritually toxic pills.

The title and description do NOTHING for this movie! I passed it by so many times! The acting is superb, the characters are realistic, and the plot is excellent. The story did not sugar coat the pain of divorce but showed the true Grace of God in how a relationship can be restored. A beautiful, Godly story. Not preachy but a solid Christian world view. Nothing inappropriate or suggestive, no cussing, just a wonderful story that will keep your interest in a steady, not slow story line that uplifts. A great movie! Better than anything Hollywood is producing. A great movie for Dads who want to do better!

If I didn't know that this was an independently produced film, I would not have known this was an independently produced film. This is the second project by the awesome team at ii Films. The visual storytelling was well done and first rate, worthy of the big screen on which I saw this film.

The story line is captivating, and all to realistic in our culture today. In a world of broken families and relationships it is good to know that there is hope. This story of restoration and renewal is not a Pollyanna, "all they needed was to spend ten minutes in prayer and all will be well." This story is the real story of struggle and heartache and the scars that run deep in a child's life.

The two main characters were portrayed by Dariush Moslemi and Anna Stranz, who I'll be honest, I never heard of but their portrayal was compelling. It did amazing justice to the story and I know I will see them again!

I so enjoyed this movie and I can't wait to take others to see it with me.
