At Her Feet

I can't rate this film High Enough! I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it from the beginning to the very end. I've never gotten to visit Hawaii and most likely won't in my lifetime, but this film gave me the feeling of actually being there and being able to experience it firsthand! Nadya Wynd and her crew did a superb job of putting together this film that I would recommend to audiences of all ages! This is the very first time I've actually enjoyed a film enough to give a review. I plan on watching this film many more times and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a film that their entire family can enjoy. Superb acting was done by all in bringing their characters to life, as well as bringing a little bit of Hawaii into my living room:-).

I and a completely full theater saw Nadya Wynd's film At Her Feet tonight. Nadya wrote directed and produced this well told story with beautiful cinematography ,a great cast and meaningful and sensitive regard for the Hawaiian culture. From the moment the film began we, the audience, were pulled into the majestic beauty of the land and the depth of Spirit presence that holds these islands- in particular Pele on the Big Island. Nadya let her characters reveal themselves to us which made them very familiar and understandable without feeling contrived. We moved right along with them on their journey across the lava fields as all their relations with each other unfolded and we felt their affection and care, dangers and fears, resentments and torment, courage and willingness to find right action, purpose and human kindness. I respect how Nadya made sure her story was told as she felt it needed to be told- by writing, directing and producing this beautiful story all by herself! And i sincerely hope whatever needs to happen will happen so the movie going public can see and enjoy this wonderful film!

At Her Feet presents an authentic story revolving around the physical volcano on the Big Island of Hawai'i, along with tying in the mythological/creation myth of the volcano. The characters are well rounded, the tension of a natural tectonic area is palpable, and the cultural elements are done well. Good casting, visual effects, and storytelling. Excellent for armchair traveling in an authentic way. Music is original and on-point. Sound effects of lava cooling, crackling add to the sensory experience of it all. Location siting of different kinds of cooled and not-so-cooled lava is also beautiful and mezmerising.

What a refreshing film !! And beautiful scenes on the Lava and Thurston's tube!!!

For a treat see Noah Gerry and Sydney Agudong before famous! Branscombe Richmond steals every scene he is in and Vene is my hero! I can't believe how good this movie is for the small amount of crew they had! Jim Orr the director of photography filmed a majority hand held camera shots which adds to the movement and follows the films moving scenes shot at the iconic Uncle Robert's location that is seriously a vortex spot on the Big Island!

The scenes in the rain and the steam coming from the ravaged earth are real and moving as well!

Go see!

At Her Feet is Hawaii's eye candy at its best featuring scenes from jungles to volcanic lava flows (the green screen tech is well done).

The entire cast is believable and endearing. You'll find yourself rooting for them along the way.

And the story is satisfying, has a clear teaching moments and a moral to the story making this a worthy family entertainment option for you and your family - kids included - it's wholesome and full of the Aloha Spirit.

And thankfully it's absent the kind of indigenous culture references and local pandering that Hawaii film's all to often resort to. It's legit. See it. 🤙
