Change in the Air

As He watches even the least of sparrows, He is hearing our prayers and heart cries. Beautifully written, acted and scored.

I decided to watch this film on Netflix only because it had Rachel Bronhahan in it, who I love. I knew nothing about the plot prior to viewing. At the end I was left wanting more. It has all the ingredients: love, compassion; community, spirituality, humanness, but they never come together to create a satisfying narrative. It is a difficult movie to figure out, maybe that is what the writer intended. Who knows. The movie to me is like a downhill racer who has the best skis, the best boots, the best poles, the best goggles and the best intentions, but still can only come in 6th.

Don't understand the critic's poor rating. Is it because it's a heart warming film without the violence, and the special effects that seem to drive most movies nowadays? I'm a fan of TCM and this film could easily be one from the 50's because it has that sense of family, faith and neighborly theme with a mystery that keeps you entertained. It's a good family movie and well worth your time.

I do not understand the low rating for this movie. It may seem slow at first, but because the acting and action is rather slow - quite peaceful - perhaps it doesn't suit the modern aesthetic.

However, that being said, it is a simple, beautifully written and acted story based on prayers and angels. But not your usual angels or prayers, a totally real and significant modern take. Perhaps the modern mentality cannot abide such a concept , but for those who can, this movie is a very good experience.

Such a well made film. Albeit more of an independent from than mainstream. If you don't like that type of film, you likely won't enjoy and appreciate this. The characters are well written. Actors did a fine job.
