Why We Breathe

I completely enjoyed this movie. Contrary to what I seen in a different review, I am not in any way affiliated with the makings of this movie. There were a few things I would have liked to see with it or added in but I wasn't the writer and still enjoyed it. If I were to make a constructive criticism it would definitely be the ending. Did she make it in music or settle for small town life? Did she end up with good guy? Did she finally surrender herself to the love of Christ? This was, in my opinion a great start to a mini series and it was definitely left open enough to add a tremendous amount of content but it was still good.

This story of a young single mother (Carrie) trying to start a new life in small town was poignant and moving at times. Derrick Dee Drake's performance was especially remarkable as Uncle Earl. Life is difficult as is overcoming your past mistakes. There are no easy answers. The story addresses this in a loving way. The outstanding camerawork and just-right sound track were as good as any I've experienced in an indy film. Congratulations to Erik Parks and Charity Spencer for bringing this film to life.

The cast in this film was on their A game. The writing was also very fresh. A lot of movies like this can feel formulaic but this one did a good job of keeping you guessing a little bit. Great family film!

I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but wow this movie is a waste of 90 minutes. It may be the terrible writing that makes the acting seem so bad, but the characters were pretty flat and uninteresting. Actually I think I've seen better acting in a high school play.

I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of writing and character development. I found myself drawn into the story. The characters are real and relatable. Their lives and the storyline aren't buttoned up or a story with a perfect solution. Loved it. Left hopeful!
