Judge Not

I had the pleasure of screening 'Judge Not' at a local theatre on a Sunday afternoon and the room was filled with attendees plus cast and crew, as a question-and answer session was held afterwards.

The film was enjoyable, beautifully shot and edited, and featured believable performances. While a faith-based film, it wasn't heavy-handed and dealt with situations that resonate with everyone.

Anyone struggling with pregnancy, faith, adoption or persecution are likely familiar with the themes explored in this film. It's characters are relatable, and the main stories touch on some uncomfortable situations many people face. With both light-hearted and dramatic touches, it's no surprise that there was ample applause once the credits rolled.

This is a nicely produced faith film focused on the "ideals" our faithful church members are to uphold, and the realities that we are all sinners, and fail to meet those goals.

The story starts with our recently divorced mother of three discovering that she is pregnant from a failed post-divorce relationship. She realizes that another child in the family would be a massive difficulty. In today's society there are several choices this mother could make including abortion. Predictably, as a faith film, this option is examined & regarded as the least desirable outcome.

Despite the seriousness of the subject, the film is not 'preachy' as another reviewer put it. It places all the options on the table, and follows her as she explores each, with her family & close friend. The drama intensifies when she shares her secret struggle with the members of her church, and we witness the reactions from several points of view within that small, tight knit community.

Nestled well in the main story are two side plots embracing similar issues.

Overall it is an enjoyable film with humor and pathos in a church setting which grounds it to the author's honest faith & convictions.

I throughly enjoyed this movie. The small town with genuine good hearted people that sometimes get lost in their ways and don't realize how their actions become judgment.

I can say this movie will hit home with not only the every day relationship between a man and woman but the relationship with the younger generation and the consequences, fear and decisions they are forced to make.

Not only was this movie full of laughter, but it was heartfelt with different families with different situations. The lady Sarah and her husband Jacob was an especially emotional scene for me. I struggled with conception and entertained different avenues to conceive.

The twist in the movie will surprise you! If you get a chance, you should really check this one out.

I saw this at a local church for the premiere and it was amazing! There were parts that made me tear up and parts that made me laugh. A perfect blend of elements but even better, a great message.

The topic is very controversial especially in the modern world but I think they did a great job of avoiding the political triggers that often ruin an otherwise great movie.

I look forward to seeing this movie on streaming as soon as it's out. I'm seeing there are some more local showings. It's definitely worth reserving a couple hours of free time to go watch this movie. Great job to everyone who made this!

When I heard a local film was premiering in Kittanning, I didn't expect this level of quality from an indie production. "Judge Not" really blew me away with how professionally it was made, feeling like something you'd see on TV or in theaters. The cinematography and storytelling were impressive, and the film had a strong message. It was also really neat to recognize familiar people and places from the area, which added a special connection to the film. It's amazing to see our community come together to create something so meaningful and well-crafted. I look forward to more projects like this! Blanket Hill Productions gets two thumbs up! Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see what comes next!
