Burden

Powerful story about Faith , the power of prayer and redemption. A beautiful account on reconciliation, compassion and forgiveness. Great heartbreaking performances, a promising directorial debut.

I think this film has been undermarketed, and i am surprised i hadnt heard it until stumbling upon it online.

Its well worth a watch. The fact it is based on a true story makes it even more compelling.

Great choice of actors. Usher was a great choice.

A good film about a mans redemption, well acted & thoroughly enjoyed it .

This movie does an excellent job of telling multiple sides of this story, which is inspired by two men - a black church and community leader and a white KKK member - and how their connection to each other as well as relationships with others changes things. Difficult subject matter at times, but an important topic and strong acting performances by all. Gritty and real.

This is a good movie! The cast is excellent. Forest Whitaker I hope one day wins a lifetime achievement award from the Academy. His body of work demands it. Tess Harper is getting some roles lately and certainly making the most of them. Garrett Hedlund and Andrea Riseborough are excellent and convey well the emotions of those poor and of good character (Riseborough) and someone who never knew good character and struggles finding it (Hedlund). Really the whole cast from Whitakers wife and son to the Black Motel owner was excellent. This is another movie Americans need to see.
