My Mother's Replacement

My Mother's Replacement takes on the difficult topic of mental illness and does so without depressing the viewer. In fact I would say that it is also a feel good movie. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Everything from the dialogue, acting, music and camera-work was well done and I am looking forward to seeing more from Dreams Come True Films. I love independent films and especially those made in non Hollywood locations. I enjoy seeing filmmakers find their footing and just get better and better. I also like that this film has a powerful message and helps take away the stigma of mental illness. I would recommend this film to friends and colleagues. Well done!

Wow, wow, wow! Talk about great writing and directing, Candy Beard has done it again! This movie was well written and well casted and acted! Hitting on a subject that has become more and more common in today's society. It another very heart wrenching topic and movie. I can't imagine the pain and sadness that families go through when this happens to them, Candy definitely knows how to write well and have actors and actresses that she picks to play these hard roles and she picked them well. The whole cast and crew should be proud of the acting jobs they have done. I recommend seeing this movie for sure!!

This is such a fantastic movie. Not too long, at just 47 minutes. We enjoyed everything about it: the writing, the cinematography, the musical scores, the acting. It was all just fantastic. The subject matter was serious (dealing with mental illness and even suicide) but the film had some comedic moments in it as well, which was appreciated to lighten the mood a bit but still keeping with the seriousness of the film.

This film is available on Amazon Prime which is where we watched and we do highly recommend it. As I said above, it's a short watch at just 47 minutes long. So you cannot use the excuse that you don't have time to watch a two hour movie or that you have a short attention span. See it if you can, especially if you know anyone who suffers from mental illness of any kind or know anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide.

This was actually the first movie I watched from Candy, Daniel and their team. I was very surprised by how good it was. I didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised by this one. I always had in my mind that Christian based movies were gonna be what I call Bible beating movies. This movie among all of the others have gentle reminders to people about being better and have an open mind. Give people a chance to show them how they really are. Some will surprise you and end up making a wonderful impact in your life. One that you will never forget. Open your eyes to a whole new world and life might just give you the slight kick in the pants that you needed.

I got to see My Mother's Replacement at the premiere they had at the Paris, Illinois Theater. Another job well done for Dreams Come True Films. In my honest opinion you would never know this is an independent film company as they make quality films without huge budgets or famous actors.

Everyone associated with this film should be proud of how well it was done. This film tackles the issue of mental illness and suicide. I think Stephanie Bosma who portrayed the mother did fabulous as did Jason Bowser & Morgan Danielle McKervey who played father and daughter.

While the majority of the movie is serious there are some lighter and funny moments within this story. So grab a soda, popcorn and tissues and watch another fantastic film made by Dreams Come True Films.
