More Beautiful for Having Been Broken

Freddie (portrayed by Cale Ferrin) steals the show. A beautiful story about acceptance, openness, love, strength, perspective, and resilience. A truly feel-good movie.

Wow this film took my breath away. Fantastic cinematography and Nicole used her life experience to produce her vision with such creativity. I am a big big fan of Zoè Ventura who plays Mckenzie and the chemistry between her and Kayla Radomski who plays Samantha is truly beautiful. I have so much praise for Cale Ferrin who plays Freddie; what a star. I found all the characters brought this film together. The love scene between McKenzie and Samantha which is only part of the film in the Director's cut was beautifully sensual and breathtaking. Well done Nicole and everyone involved in this project; what an outstanding result.

I liked the movie to an extent and the best part of the movie is that kid.He is adorable

This movie, perhaps is one of my all time favorites. In touches on so many different issues, in such an eye opening way. It's contents will open up, and steal a piece of your heart. The actors are perfectly casted for the roles they play. Cale Ferrin (Freddy), if you don't know of him...after this film, you will never forget him. He is fabulous! Zoe Ventoura (McKenzie), plays a broken women who escapes to a picturesque town to regroup after losing her mother. In this town she meets Freddy who is a precocious young special needs boy. He can't be ignored no matter how hard McKenzie tries. She finds love and strength never really knowing it was possible. Kayla Radimski (Samantha), is the mother of Freddy, she has all she can handle with the care of her special needs son (Freddy). She comes off as hard and rigid, however...you see a much softer side of her portrayed, in her beautiful visionary dance. Harley Jane Kozak (Vivienne) is the owner of the ranch, she also has many secrets hidden of her past. This movie unfolds in unexpected ways capturing your heart and attention along the way. A must see!!!

The push and the pull in this story had me riding all the emotion. At the first moment, the intrigue caught me and I was all in. From epically sweeping cinematography, to vignettes that give space permitting the viewer to catch their breath and allow moments to sink in, I loved the dance. The threads of honest, unabashed sense from such an innocent young soul and the unsettling, painful moments that rip from a character's past crystallize an impactful poignancy the creators gently weave for the viewers to discover. This movie portrays resilience, compassion and a universal drive to love in a touching, warm plea to the viewer. The end credits show how personal a work this is for Nicole Conn. Like a gift, she shows us a bare, intimate revelation normally reserved to only a precious trusted few. It is Magnificent. The cast =>amazing.
