The Father and the Bear

10/10

Outstanding film - Charity Farrell was excellent

Well worth a watch - very uplifting tale and one which keeps the audience engaged and invested. Excellent work by the cast and crew, writers and directors, music coordinators and cinematographers. Mad props to Charity Farrell for excelling as Lefty. She is so wonderful and magnetic throughout the movie, astutely blending sheer beauty with innocence and enthusiasm. Love the way she delivers her lines and speaks so eloquently - one's eyes and ears are sure to perk up when she enters a scene. Thank you, Charity, and thank you to the whole production. Awesome film.

10/10

A heartfelt, yet somewhat amusing and whimsical life story.

A great movie with great acting and a very moving story line, especially if you know the theatrical history of John Putch and his career. This movie is an excellent portrayal of live theater and what it means to the people involved, its ups and downs, a fictional account, yet interspersed with actual footage and memories of the Totem Pole Playhouse, where John's life and career had their roots. I can truly say it will make you laugh and cry. The music and photography were also excellent, especially considering it is an indie film. I highly recommend it for the whole family.
