    Garbage Movie. Could be a comedy honestly.

    This movie sucks. Seems like some kid's high school project. Dialogue is hilariously bad. Acting is comical. I felt embarrassed for the people involved in the production. It almost seems like a big joke honestly. There's no way that anyone could think the writing was good. There is not a single scene in this movie that could have been worse. It's unreal to me that they watched the final cut and sat back and thought "This is it. It's amazing. The world needs to see this." This movie actually made me realize that maybe some people shouldn't chase their dreams. Well, at least these people. These people should never, ever do this again.

    Horrible

    This movie is honestly so bad. It could possibly be the worst movie I've ever seen. The dialogue is forced and unnecessary 80% of the time. Theres long drawn out scenes of just nothing lol like it makes no sense. The main character, kate, is comically bad. They're obviously trying to portray a sad, emotional, dramatic movie but the whole movie is laughable. I could not stop laughing. It's very cringeworthy. The camera work, transitions and editing look like it was made by a teenager working on a senior project.

    If I could give this movie no stars, I would. Its long and drawn out with virtually no point. Its 2 hours long and very hard to pay attention because it is so uninteresting and slow. I recommend skipping this movie, please watch anything else. It is not good.

    Beautiful movie!!

    Dear Kate is a deeply moving drama that captures the emotional complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery. The film is anchored by a compelling lead performance and skillful direction that brings the story's quiet intensity to life. The cinematography and score work in harmony to create a reflective atmosphere, drawing viewers into the protagonist's journey of confronting her past and embracing the uncertainties of her future. Dear Kate is a poignant exploration of personal growth and resilience, leaving a lasting impression long after the credits roll. 10/10 would recommend to all audiences.

    Captivating Film

    Dear Kate,'s storyline was captivating, compelling and downright brilliant! The character and plot development was completely spot on and kept me interested from beginning to end. A lovely story that captures the beauty that can arise from the ashes of a painful past. It is my hope that this review will encourage someone else to watch this film. Even my fiance was completely enthralled for the duration of this story and that's truly saying a lot. You can tell that there was a lot of attention put into the details of the setting. The beautiful camera work and amazing music selection really bring everything together. Must watch!

    Such a heartfelt movie

    I loved it so much! The movie was awesome, it had great music, actors and actresses. The story line was so heartfelt. I shedded some tears, it definitely pulled at my heart strings with the loss of my father a few years ago. It's amazing how this movie was filmed in my hometown by some really cool cast and crew! It was fun spotting out the locations that I know as the movie went on. I will definitely watch it again and again. And I will recommend to family and friends to watch. Everyone in the South loves when we have movies filmed out here. Awesome job to the directors, producers and actors of this film. 1,000 stars!

    • Trivia
      Director Brandon Stouff, 1st AD Aimee Bubblis, Production Sound Mixer Johnny Clement, 1st AC Laina Robinson, and actress Jenn Sullivan worked on the short film, "The Inheritance" which was centered around the death of a brother and sister's father. Development and screenwriting for "Dear Kate," started years before "The Inheritance" was filmed and was pure coincidence that both projects involved the death of the protagonist(s) father.
