Beyond the Farthest Star

I'll admit that I bought this movie just because Renee O'Connor of Xena fame was in it. But by the end of it, I had moved on from that.

This movie is amazingly deep and mysterious. It sheds light on what happens when we aren't true to ourselves and hide the truth. Eventually, the truth wins out and our true meaning comes forward.

From Adam following his father, even though I don't feel he truly wanted to, to Maureen hiding a lie, that was slowly destroying her, and onto Annie who didn't know who or what she was. It was riveting and painful and sad.

Yes, there is a religious undertone to the story, but it's not religious. I didn't feel preached to at all.

Loved it and highly recommend!

I was captivated just from watching the trailer, it's mind-blowing. Everything draws the viewer in from the cinematography to the beautiful acting.

An excellent film that I really recommend to watch, it captured me from beginning to end, it makes you cry, it opens your heart. On love, family, secrets, pain, forgiveness. I love movies that convey great messages. Something that can open people's minds and hearts, make families, children and friends understand the importance of talking and listening more, talking to each other, be honest, being close to the people we love. Buy it, watch it, share it! 👍 Thank you from the heart for this wonderful movie 🙏

"Beyond the Farthest Star" is an insightful, mesmerizing story that centers on the Wells family. Each struggle with resentment and bitterness that threatens to destroy their family...and the emotions intensify following a move to the small town of Leonard, Texas. BTFS has universal themes that speak to all people and effectively weaves the idea that there is hope in spite of physical or emotional scars. This richly layered story shares a raw honest portrayal of transformation and restoration after hidden secrets are revealed and healing is allowed to begin. Elements of suspense, romance, and political intrigue are combined with multi-dimensional characters to present an escalating tension that intensifies to an explosive climax, and, ultimately, to a satisfying conclusion.

When "Beyond the Farthest Star" was in theaters, I was able to see it several times and was riveted to the screen each time as I picked up nuances missed before. The story is fascinating and the actors do an incredible job of making their characters come to life on screen. This film also inspired a novel by Bodie & Brock Thoene, a Kinkade painting, and a new arrangement of "Beauty For Ashes" by Crystal Lewis. I am thrilled that it is coming to DVD so I can have a copy of my own and can share it with family and friends who missed it in theaters. Not for younger kids, but I highly recommend this movie for 13 and up!

This film will tug at your heartstrings and yet give your spirit hope and joy. It is a rollercoaster of emotions as you journey with the characters to the end. Each actor did a wonderful job in helping their character come alive. But Renee O' Connor and Cherami Leigh did an outstanding job in the depths of their acting. At times I found myself wanting to reach out and give them a hug. This is a great film to help start family dialog with any and all issues individuals might be experiencing.
