Finding Grace

It has been a long time since I have been able to sit and watch a movie with the family that I knew would be suitable for the entire family and Finding Grace is exactly that. 10/10 I highly recommend this film for anyone wanting a good positive message in their home.

Finding Grace was very inspirational. Although it covered some difficult and sensitive topics it was able to deliver a positive and encouraging message. I think the film makers did a great job with this independent feature film without having the luxury of a big Hollywood budget. The actors did a wonderful job portraying their characters; even more impressive is this was the first feature film for many of the actors. Well done!

I bought 'Finding Grace' because I am a fan of films with a positive message. I went into the film knowing nothing about the story, but luckily, what I found was an extremely well-made, moving story of faith, kindness, and forgiveness.

The film revolves around a young woman, Alaska Rose (played to perfection by Paris Warner) who is struggling to stay out of trouble, mostly due to the pain she feels from something she experienced in the past. When she is reluctantly sentenced to community service at a retirement home, she forms a bond with an eldery woman, Mrs. Foster, who is dealing with pain of her own . Don't want to give too much away past that. Just watch.

As the film goes on, the audience is given more and more of the main character's backstory, which really takes the film to another level. There were a couple of powerful scenes that I didn't see coming, and I'll admit, brought some tears to my eyes. It's really a testament to the writing and performances, which felt authentic and never forced. The writing and direction of Warren Fast proves that he is someone to watch in the future.

Overall, it was worth the purchase, and I would particularly recommend it to young people who might be dealing with some of the same problems that Alaska deals with in the film.

Though I noticed that the audio seemed that the whole picture was filmed in a tunnel, that doesn't count out the picture in my book. Let me explain.

I greatly appreciated the storyline, the acting, the range of emotions and the facial clarity that each actor brought to their own parts. Paris Warne's Amanda Rose character, showed real emotion and angst as she hit wall after wall of life's many challenges, and gave a superb performance !! The other more senior talent (Erin Gray, Bo Svenson and David Keith, showed their expertise, savvy and gold winning talent as well. Great Job, way to go !!!!!

Ah. As with all Christian faith based films. You don't need to include pointless goddy bits. Let the faith of the film makers and the quality of the film stand alone and demonstrate your faith. As you should your lives.

I was enjoying it until the church scene and after that I knew I couldn't give it more than a C rating. Without it I would have given it a B. Without all the other faith references, it would have been an A.

Worth a watch but almost turned it off numeroud times when the goddy bits were shoehorned in. So pointless and such a shame, especially the end. It was ruined.
