    Christmas presents

    I took my girlfriend to the premiere. We weren't planning on staying for the second showing but after seeing it we scratched our plans and hung out. We met the cast and producers all of whom were great and friendly people. I then bought a bunch of DVDs to give out for Christmas presents. Yes it was that good! I can't believe how good a job the team behind this did with the budget they had. Kudos!

    Hands down , Thumbs up, Truly inspiring

    Took my Wife and Mother to see the Premier of this movie, could have watched it again it so good. As someone who grew up in the system, a few details hit home for myself. Without giving anything away, by far my favorite part was with the case worker because she nailed her part. They get vindictive with little concern for the client. She was great in her acting. I've never been great at reveiws but I can honestly say that I enjoyed the whole cast , such talented people . If there were to be a follow up, a sequel, ill be the first in line .

    Read the book first

    I read the book this movie was based on. When I saw it was a movie I wondered how each of the characters would be portrayed, how they would look compared to my mental imagery, and an overall feel for the story. Would it feel the same? I think it does pretty closely follow the story and that same emotional feel. Very nicely done.

    Super LOVE it!

    I watched this at least 5 times already! The work and thoughtfulness that went into this story is AMAZING!! There should be more movies like this!!! In today's times we all need to forgive others and our selves and learn to except the Lord into our lives!! Great job to all involved in this movie and I pray there are more in the making!!! GOD BLESS!

    Have tissues on hand

    Indie films have come a long way or at least this one has. It simply does not look or feel like a production in its stated budget range. Having said that, the story itself is so intense and each character was portrayed beautifully by the actors. The three main actors were especially talented and believable in their performances. Without giving any of the movie away I'll just comment that you will need tissues.
