Diagonaldi Very well executed

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

matthewtjohnston-95633 This is perhaps the greatest movie ever conceived of. I am thoroughly convinced that no movie will ever achieve the greatness that this movie did. I am also fairly certain that God created the world solely so that this movie could be made and we could watch it and bask in its glory. Every aspect of this movie, from the plot, to the writing, cinematography, and especially the acting were clearly a gift of God to the people who made this movie. The best scene by far is when Caleb and Rachel finally hold hands for the first time. That was the moment where I truly fell in love with this movie. If you have really watched this movie, you will understand that it deserves every Oscar award available, and it additionally deserves one for "Greatest Movie Ever Created." Each of the actors additionally deserve awards for their acting because they truly made the movie great. The only way we can make Hollywood great again is to make them only produce films exactly like this one: that is, this is the only film made that was worth making, so they should just keep making it over and over again.

Martt Clupper I admit that this isn't the highest quality production, but in a way similar to Fireproof, the work accomplished for the money spent is amazing. Highly recommend that you see the additional features on the DVD to better understand just how grass-roots this effort was.This film shows young people seriously facing the big moral questions of our times, and shows them willing to think it through with more than just an Mtv (if it feels good do it) mentality.The prevailing wind of human nature doesn't lead us toward goodness... this film definitely gives strength to those who want to stand against the prevailing winds.

lelie This review is just about as diametrically opposite of the last reviewer as you can get. This was never made as a 'for profit' work, so trying to 'capitalize' is rather silly; money, capital, is not an issue. Sure, court IS boring, even more boring than most sports events. Both do have most of the people sitting around and waiting, and most uninvolved. But for the people involved in any court case, the emotions are very real and very important. This film is really about seeing things from another person's perspective; walking a mile in the other person's shoes. Had the first reviewer even bothered to watch to the end he would have realized that. The 'villain' of the first 90% of the film is finally realized to be simply a victim herself. That's what makes this a good film; the empathy one ends up feeling. Is it moralistic? Sure. Has that become a problem today? Sure, it deals with abortion in a far more real way than the slogans and platitudes normal given. It also deals with marriage problems in a better way than any current film short of "Fireproof". Is the sound track up to par? Please, this was a student film. You can't expect that. It might just be the best student film I've ever seen.

taftms Content was spot on.The only thing I could shake a finger at was technical. A few pregnant pauses. Sound was low for the speech in a few instances. Of course, I compare to the multi-million dollar budgets...Speaking of that, I'm buying three DVDs. One for us and one for each of our children (for our grandchildren, actually).As a conservative parent, this is perfect for the 10yr old and up. The stakes are high and the temptations are even higher. But the principled person sees the prize does not compare to the moment.As a US natural born citizen, I hold it self-evident that all men are created equal. Is life to be lived firstly for ourselves? If it were, shouldn't the founding fathers have created a government that feeds their personal interests above the interest of "the people?"
