When I Find the Ocean

I believe that Tonya is a very very talented person and this movie is a great movie. It is a family drama that is clean and maybe the industry is not use to this quality. It deals with a lot of issues that are real... She did a very good job! So therefore, I have to say that I am proud of her accomplishments and her ability to have faith in friends and people that have faith in her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She has helped get many Alabama people involved in this industry and by the way I am from Alabama and Alabama people are proud of her and the work she is bringing to our state!!! Negitive people want to create negative for others, but it is how we perceive the negative.

I have seen better movies made in peoples basements....the scene with the plastic flowers and the foam headstones was just awful....and the voice of Lily's dad...why that would scare the devil himself. And the jump cuts....man o man o man ....film school at worst....The acting by Amy Redford was overdone as was most of the others...Graham Greene looked and acted like he was mad as hell through the whole thing...Lee Majors gave an OK performance considering the lines he had to read.. Many of my friends who have also seen the movie thought the Selma March scene looked like a remake of Return of the Living Dead. I must say that some of the scenes of the Tennessee River were breathtaking...but got pretty old after the third or fourth shot of them. All and all let's hope this movie stays in the can.

I am from the same area as the director of this movie. I really really wanted to like it and I can say without a doubt that this was the absolute worst movie I have ever seen - hands down. The dialogue was in many spots laughable, the director's daughter (and main character) was cute but could not act, and the plot was ridiculous and included a stalking panther and a character in BLACKFACE! As a Southerner, I was offended (as were the other people I saw the movie with) at the ridiculous redneck racist stereotypes that this movie upheld. Even the music, which was good in and of itself was too loud and in many spots didn't remotely go with the scene it was supporting.

I can't say it more succinctly - run for your life!

I had a small role in this film and finally got around to watching it. People need to get the stick out of their butts. There are some great performances in this film.

It is a film my nieces and nephews will love. It reminded me of the Hallmark movies I watched when I was a kid. My Hats off to Tonya and everyone else that was apart of this production.

Lilly played her first major role like a pro, and brought an air of realism that some seasoned actors cannot. Being a lead in a feature film is hard work and I thought she rocked.

Best wishes to Cypress moon on future projects.

What a wonderful movie!! It seem that family movies are few and far between these days. It is hard to find a quality film that the whole family can enjoy. It seems like there is little originality left in the movies today, everyone wants to remake one movie or another. Tonya has given us something new. She has succeeded in making a film that touches the heart of old and young alike! Although set in 1965, the topics are still (unfortunately) relevant today. The casting was great...I really enjoyed empathizing with Lily and her family and hating Richard Tyson and the poachers. The score is great...I still get goose-bumps. Being from the area where most of the film was made, I recognized most of the the names of the actors and sites in the film. Thank you Tonya for putting North Alabama on the map. Congratulations on a job VERY WELL DONE!!
