    Matt Dillon and Ryan Potter really shine in this period piece

    I enjoyed Running for Grace a second time in theater - it's perfect for the whole family. I discovered a lot about Hawaii and it's landscapes and history through the film too. What beautiful shots and powerful themes of love, loss and adoption!

    It was fun seeing big actors like Matt Dillon and Jim Caveziel across from first timers like little Cole (ridiculously cute) and others.

    Nice movie but....

    I've lived in Kona for 25 years and I can't imagine any movie made here that does not have a native Hawaiian person in it. I did not see one Hawaiian in this film. Understandably, it takes place mauka in coffee country, and there were mainly Japanese in Holualoa then, but why not include Hawaiians on the road or on the coast shots. I know he was trying to be artsy, but I just felt an obvious absence and it was a little rude. Also, I think the colors were over-saturated which gave the film a tv look, rather than a moody film. More like a Hallmark movie. I did enjoy the drone shots.

    Beautiful! Story and scenery!

    Multi-ethnic identity and orphan pains are major themes. Along with socioeconomic class issues. Filmed in Hawaii, so the scenery is stunning. Great for families. I recommend it!

    A "must see" movie - beautiful, fun and thought -provoking!

    I totally LOVED this movie!!! Incredibly beautiful scenery (great to see it on the big screen), and great story-line with good moral content (pro-adoption, anti-prejudice) and all the right elements of love, action, historical accuracy for early 20th century Hawaii, and conflict between good and evil. Matt Dillon's acting was epic...as was Cole (young Jo, the medicine runner - how can anyone be so naturally cute!!!) and Ryan Potter as older Jo. Wonderful! I've seen it three times, just to try to capture all of the scenery and hidden treasures in the story. I've taken a different friend each time to share the fun!!

    Actually very charming!

    This is definitely a little on the budget side, but it's also very charming and an enjoyable watch! I liked it

    • Trivia
      In the sequence set in 1919, a poster for the film Broken Blossoms (1919) is seen. That film features a romance between an Asian (Chinese) man and a white woman, paralleling events in this film.
    • Goofs
      Although the sound of coqui frogs are heard throughout the movie, they were not introduced to the Island of Hawaii until 1988.

      [last lines]

      Miss Hanabusa: [narrating] Fall down seven times, stand up eight. The bank did foreclose. The town and the plantation were subdivided and auctioned off. And the so-called Dr. Reyes was arrested to murder.

      Miss Hanabusa: Our town got a new clinic. And a new doctor. And I... I remained in the service of that young doctor and his wonderful wife for many good years.
