July Rising

Story about teenage girl going against odds to save family farm while everyone else tells her to sell. Good film production but lacklustre cinematography. Soundtrack is non-existent except for transitions. However, a complete story arc is there. Act two is a little slow at the start. The ending is good but too quiet.

This film couldve been based on many real life stories upon the vast continent of america.

its a farma-drama story, about an orchard farm in the northwestern part of the great state of california, and its as usual the fight for survival, at the mercy of the banks, the threats of conglomeration, and the pressure from property developers who wish to build houses in some of the finest rural areas in the world.. its a young girl against everyone, stubborn and bound to a promise she gave to her grandfather, that she will stand tall and make this orchardry survive for generations.

the production and acting are merely flawless, dramaslow it is, but it surtainly tucks you into the sad emotions that reign this territory. its a film made on a bargain sale give or take a few dollars out of nothing , then youll know its good old craftmanship filmaking.

the sad story isnt for everybody to like, but it should and will find it crowds i'm sure. and that is said in the name of the grumpy old man, a recommend

I couldn't believe what I was seeing ... absolutely horrendous ... scenes chopped off in the middle ...

Very hollow empty dramatic movie, not even remotely relatable for a non-american.

This is a slow winding film that has humorous moments wrapped up in an inevitable life changing drama. Highlights are the lead character's unrelenting determination even when the odds are stacked against her. Definitely a heroine drama, need more films that draw on the themes presented in this film. Bravo! And it's beautifully filmed on a pear farm, such a lovely cinematic journey.

If you live almost anywhere in the U. S there is a cultural divide between urban and rural life, and this film reveals the economic drivers that underscore this tension, but mostly the film treats the cultural/social issues sensitively and honestly. No cliches here and that is so refreshing.
