Undeserved

When someone writes: "At some point there's barely something truly going on other than religious nonsense. I wasted my time and came to prevent others to do the same", you can understand that it's an idiot, so better you don't listen to them, follow your instinct and watch this movie.

This movie has some important teachings that can help to understand something in the real life.

Those who write that this movie is garbage have no heart, so following them will take you in the same world... darkness, emptiness, sorrow, misery.

For them, judging and criticizing is their hobby and they do that because they are empty, unsatisfied people who enjoy when something bad would happen to the others. Really bad people, but maybe just not clever enough to understand.

This movie is well done, good acting, directing and well written, the pace is right, it can't go quick, you have to follow and be patient.

It's a movie that will make you thinking about something, or maybe not, it depends on your level of awareness.

Probably it's not a movie for everyone, I don't know.

The subject is about a topic concerning the real world, that sometimes we don't know or we're more comfortable to ignore. It's reality even if this movie don't talk about true events.

Highly recommended!

The score is too low, so I gave it a couple of stars more, sorry.

The only thing undeserved here is the torture I just went through watching this garbage.

I would say the typical "this looks like it was made by a second year film student," but that would be insulting to film students.

Was very curious about the storyline. So I thought I will give this film a go. So Dawn has to live with her aunt after her mother is murdered, but due to circumstances she has to leave and fend for herself.

So a lot of this film has a basis of religion attached which unfortunately spoils it for me. I am guessing that this is the message that the director was hoping for but however a lot of the film is lost in translation.

A majority of the film kind of submits to the audience that even living under the roof of god should be safe, Dawn finds that this is not the case, and later into the story she kinda has it forced down her throat that God can save her. Hmmm not sure whats right there.

Anyway it is all a bit blunt, no follow up about her mother's murder, the pastor is has happy at the start of the film and later on thanks to God, but I give the film 5/10, because there is some good acting, semi good storyline, just loses itself with the overboard no so believable religious theme.

Ok, let's be honest, this is a "faith and inspirational" film, faith films aren't for everyone and that's fine. I'm a non-religious person who typically does not watch this type of movie but it sounded like a good story so I gave it a go. In my opinion, this is a solid film. Camera and sound did a good job, acting is good, story is very good. If you can get over the obvious religious overtones and just watch it for the story, you will probably enjoy it. There are some really important issues addressed here (not just the "Jesus Fixes Everything" message typical of faith films) and I liked that. 7/10 stars because it is a little cheezy and predictable for the first few minutes, I almost turned it off but I really wanted to see where they were going with the story.

I wish I could rave about this movie because it explores important subjects. Unfortunately it does this with all the usual characters doing exactly what you'd expect. You have the troubled and yearning teen, the well meaning but off the mark aunt, the overburdened and messed up other relatives etc. The acting is perfectly passable and if you read my other reviews you know I can overlook films with small budgets. This just doesn't quite do what it could.
