Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

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.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

jennifercfisher I really enjoyed this film.It was very atmospheric and moving.It had me in tears a couple times and this is based on a true story too so was very believable with great acting.

michaelrthomson The acting is passable, it's nice to see a grown up Renee playing a grown woman. The story itself would have been interesting had it not been for the ever increasing god squad agenda. I should by now recognise it seems Greg K only does god movies but I was fooled into missing it given other cast. I find it remarkable the religious types are ok with this not so subtle pushing of their god agenda but god forbid a gay coupke kiss on a screen. I was disappointed by this movie because of this entire aspect which really makes this a fairy tale not a drama. If you want to make god agenda movies, at least be upfront about it so as not to waste the effort of those who aren't interested in your particular lifestyle choice.

adamdanley Seriously?It took me 3 different attempts to watch this film. Not only was it superficial from the beginning, but good lord it was terrible to watch. Just seriously don't even bother.

westsideschl The signature manifestation of a cheap production is having prolonged opening aerial scenes of a car driving on a roadway usually in a foresty setting followed by scenes viewing upward toward trees rustling in the wind. Dead giveaway. But, moving on to the substance (script), basically it was a fantastical sweetened good converts bad into good storyline. A bit stereotyped (i.e. dramatized & admitted so in credits) of a black angry homeless person w/racially abusive growing up experiences within a cotton plantation setting and the always present white slave owners. However, to the rescue is an upper middle class white couple volunteering, where else, soup kitchen (a misnomer as food fare has improved the past decades especially w/donations at food banks). A sort of Union Gospel shelter to the rescue. Acting was overdramatic in both directions overly aggressive and overly submissive, but got the point across. Zellweger could convert Satin w/the calm sweetness of her voice alone. Not overly preachy, and had the potential to be so. The helping the homeless cause in America is valuable, but relative to the billion people worldwide who live daily w/debilitating disease, no medical care, hunger, poor/no sanitation, no potable H2O, little/no shelter, rape, abuse, very short life spans, murders based on religion or gender - it pales.
