Wild Faith

This film does well at telling a period story and tackling some larger societal issues through an anachronistic lens. Production value is good, with most of the cinematography being near the level of many big budget films. The acting is mostly on point and doesn't detract from the overall film - I would highlight the performances of Lana Wood and Dean Teaster as the most believable within the movie. While not the spectacle of an over the top blockbuster or a Spielberg film, this is a worthwhile movie deserving of your time.

I love the read the reviews of these small indie films. The first thirty or so, sometimes as much as fifty or seventy-five, are all friends and, family of the cast, crew, producers and the like. You will even find reviews from people of whatever small town they shot most of it in. (It's so much easier to get permits to shoot from little communities than big cities.) The reviews are usually overflowing in their praise, sometimes to the extent that you might feel a little ill from consuming that much sugary puff. (But just like cotton candy, once you actually watch the movie for yourself, you realize there isn't much substance at all.) Now, if the reviews stop after the initial premiere, that too is a telling aspect. (I think you can figure out just what it does "tell" all by yourself.) Occasionally, you find a review from someone like me, who seems to revel in the obscure, who enjoys finding these rare films. So I submit to you that I need not discuss the plot, or the acting, or even the cinematography. Previous reviews have told you how absolutely wonderful, amazing, heartbreaking, this movie is. Instead I simply give it two stars. Two, because just completing a movie, good or bad, deserves credit in itself. Beyond that, however, the stars must be earned.

My whole family had been anxiously awaiting the release of this Michigan based film. It was refreshing to be a part of a movie that shared not only an excellently written story but one that shared a deep sense of values within the context of it. I was highly impressed with the quality of the production and HOPE the tv series actually comes to be! I can see why the show times were held over! I Highly recommend Wild Faith! I already want to see it again!

It's amazing when a story comes to life on the big screen and you feel you're a part of it, sitting on the edge of your seat in anticipation of what's going to happen next....Every aspect of Wild Faith is done exceptionally well...actors are true to character and the story line touches your heart....who could ask for more. Can't wait to see it again!

Saw this movie on 3-20 with my family which includes a 9 year old grandson. We enjoyed it and thought it was awesome. DJ Perry did a fantastic job writing and acting in this epic filmed in Michigan. Two thumbs up, go see it while you can.
