Birthrite

OK, I have read EVERY word of EVERY posting and EVERY Review I could find on this movie after watching the entire production. --

Honestly this is NOT a waste of time movie. It is NOT however a "Good" movie -- the acting is just not there (believability), I do however agree that the cinematography is very good. Not one of the actors actually made me feel they were comfortable with their rolls and each had to struggle to acquire their feel....

I only WATCH movies online -- and do NOT download them, but I do give my HONEST opinion of a movie -- so the pirating doesn't pertain to me.

Once again -- the movie is NOT a waste of time -- but not "Good". I gave it a 3 because it actually has some merit and they do not have a 3.5.

I lived in Arkansas for a very long time, and do today, graduated from ASU in '78. It is that beautiful of a place, but the people are NOT that STUPID. There are many intelligent individuals in Arkansas. I did however enjoy the part of -- "Charley" as played by Alex Moody. His was probably the ONLY believable character in the film.

The photography is beautiful. Mark Maness captures the beauty and the danger of the Arkansas river-bottoms. Alex Moody gives a brilliant performance as Charlie, a man child raised in poverty with little education. His world revolves around his widowed mother (Linda Bowling) who controls his every thought and action. Linda steals the movie with her caustic performance of a woman who seems to have slipped slightly over the edge of sanity. Into their world comes Elizabeth, played by Megan Dowd. Elizabeth finds herself a captive with only two options: marry Charlie or die. Randal Files wrote a riveting script that is punctuated by an incredible score by Brian Pitman. This is a movie that you don't want to miss.

though not, i fear, as an actress. nice photography, a plausible script and some believable, if stereotypical, characterisation.it's not a ground breaker and it's clearly not big budget, but those who call it "the worst ever" should get out more. they haven't seen enough movies. It's subtly sinister without resorting to the overused shock tactics and crudely managed special effects so often used to shore up truly poor examples of the genre. i'm not sure if it's intentional, but i found my sympathies going towards the so-called villains, which is some achievement. they have a warped morality and a sense of suffering. unlike the obnoxious elizabeth who may or may not get what she deserves.

I just saw this movie. I watched it because it was set in Arkansas near where I grew up. As usual the scenery of Arkansas was beautiful but the typical stereotype of the dumb backwoods family came out. It would be nice to see this attachment to Arkansas cease to exist. Take a real look at Arkansas and anyone will see that it is a beautiful state with intelligent people and not full of backwoods moonshiners. This movie was pretty bad. The actors were dry and bland. No one had any emotion in their acting except Alex Moody. He played a good "Charley, the backwoods retard". The plot was boring and stupid. I can give the movie one good rating....Megan Dowd was a very pretty girl and that made the movie worth watching.

This movie is a great example of you don't need nudity or gore for a movie to hold your attention. I would feel comfortable to letting my 14 year old child watch this movie. The cinematography was absolutely beautiful and the story-line was every bit as good. I literally didn't know what was going to happen next in this film

I think this movie has some wonderful acting and the comment earlier about Linda not being a good actress was way off base. Of course this is my opinion. I also The director of this film has a incredible talent and I hope there are more films in the works from him. Keep on keeping on. I love to see fresh new ideas.
