It was an interesting movie. It touched on several subjects that are important in our society. Racism, Feelings of Loneliness, Religious Bible Thumping, etc.The movie was well done but had the feel of a low budget B grade love story. The actors did a mediocre job in the first half of the movie, but got better in the second half. I would have enjoyed it if it wasn't for the horribly tragic ending. Not that it hasn't been done before, but you see it coming a mile away. It would have been interesting if the director gave us a more uplifting end to this tale, instead, it's tragic and feels unresolved (and at points defying of logic and common sense). It could have been worth a nice 7 for what it is, but as it stands, it only gets a 4

I really loved this movie even though the end was really sad & I couldn't help but , cry. I wish this movie had been on theatre. I just saw it on LMN & I really think it is one of the best I've seen on there in a long time.

Upon seeing this movie on television, I had not heard of it before. Now, I cannot believe that it was not more widely promoted and shared, as it is so beautiful and touching. Every aspect of the movie was so romantic and dreamy, yet being so raw and honest at the same time. I very much admire the two starring actors, who portrayed the complex and emotional characters so well, making it look so easy. I hope to see more of Douglas Spain sometime soon in movies, hopefully reaching Australian shores. To the film crew, very well done, and to potential viewers, a must see.

I was given the opportunity to view this film at the Nashville Independent Film Festival and it blew me away. The actors embodied the roles with such emotion. I was mesmerized. It brought me to tears several times. Particularly in Lolly Ann's description of her parents' lack of love for her and their disapproval of her, I was moved nearly to sobs. I felt the religous demands of her parents were realistically played out. That is not often the case in films where that concept is often dealt with cartoonishly. Lolly Ann is obviously a wounded girl who is only beginning to realize the extent of her hurt. The tender romance that develops also rings true. This film stayed with me long after I left the theater. In addition, the editing, cinemetography and the use of a dissolve-to-white technique made the film seem almost magical. I was able to talk with Director Don Most for quite some time after the film and I was amazed at the care and attention he put into this film. He is a talented director. I truly hope he gets the wider distribution he seeks for it, though I doubt the average viewer would appreciate the gem that it is.
