    Meh.. poor acting

    So... some of the acting is pretty terrible...the grandpa sounds like he is reading the lines for the first time. When the woman gets beaten up by a client, the makeup is pretty terrible and you can literally see the edges of the fake appliqués. It's a rough watch if you are looking for a quality cinematic experience.

    AMAZING

    When Annabeth started writing in the journal I was HOOKED! The flashbacks and love between those women were very touching. Loved the story! I didn't expect to cry that much.

    A wonderful film

    The director coaxed some great performances out of the actors, and the cinematography is beautiful as well. The juxtaposition between the past and the present was handled deftly and there are a lot of weighty themes to chew on. I was consistently engaged in the narrative. All in all, this is a great movie for a wide audience.

    A Dance to the Light and Hope

    This is a really touching story written and directed by Veronica Robledo. The actors were all lovely. We really enjoyed the relationship between the two contemporary leads, Kristen Renton and Maurice Johnson but all of the actors were quite good. The portayals of the two women in the past-friends for life Ophelia (played by Jaimie Butler) and Emmalaine (KateLynn E. Newberry) were especially wonderful and heartbreaking.

    The blend between the 1800s harsh and sometimes violent past and the modern day kindness works very well advancing the dance to the light and hope filled end. So happy to see a woman director bringing this meaningful story to the forefront with a strong vision and steady hand. She also keeps it from falling into gratuitous violence. Beautiful location. Nice cinematography. Put The Crickets Dance on your list to watch.

    Possibly a real story

    There were possibly many instances if this being close to reality. Kristen Renton gave one of her best performances if not her best so far in her career

    She is a talented actor caught in a whirlpool of low budget and mostly low-quality films.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The small town Angie Lawrence is from was inspired by Deborah Robillard's home town although the story is fiction. The characters of Mrs. Claudia and Janice are from the authors imagination, and are a tribute to some of the qualities she admired in several women who the author knew and loved that influenced her in her in her formative years growing up in the rural Georgia. Most of the character names come from either Deborah Robillard's family tree or beloved friends, except for Ophelia. Her name comes from Shakespeare's Hamlet, one of the authors favorite plays. While Shakespeare's Ophelia character is complex and multifaceted she is held in high esteem by her father as a virtuous woman whose values and morality are meant to show the characters potential to be both a dutiful wife and an exemplary mother. Ophelia is also a French name meaning 'helper' and is a tribute to the authors French roots. Angie's last name of Lawrence is the first name of Deborah's beloved grandfather, where Deborah's French lineage comes from. While the story is fiction Deborah wanted to pay her respects to both literary characters and authors that she admired and those around her who helped shape own life.
