Reviews

lauranielsen-15072 This movie had a great premise and could have been great. It started out ok, but just got worse and worse. A lot of things in the story line didn'make sense (example: she was incredibly smitten with her husband, which the viewer doesn't understand because he's portrayed as a jerk). The scene with the piano just drove me crazy! It was SOO obvious the director was trying to be artsy. It reminded me of a Counting Crows video (puke!). Another miss: the horribly cliche Native American boy (including his Kmart bought costume). At times the main actress was good, other times she was horrible. All the other actors were even worse. The final editing was not well done. Cut-to's that were disjointed and didn't line up, or shots that needed another 20 seconds to establish the context or emotion. If this was made by some college kids, then I'd say bravo. In that aspect this movie would be impressive. But I suspect it had a little more experience and budget behind it. It almost seemed as if it was rushed out of production. If more time had been spent on the details and editing, it would have been a MUCH better movie. I will give credit to the writer though, as the story was very solid. Some people can see past all these errors, but people that expect a movie to leave an impression on them will find it too irritating.

turnsoulsgurl I enjoyed this movie so much! Good, clean and wholesome story. A diamond in the rough, in my opinion

fredjmuggs Young housewife in the mid-1800's heads west with her husband who decides to leave the safety of their wagon train to strike out cross country alone. Wow is THAT dumb. Even dumber, he gets himself killed. He wasn't the only dummy - the Indians who killed him don't bother to look for any valuables in the wagon (where the wife is hiding under a blanket) - This story so out of touch with the times. Then the young wife is completely lost doing the simplest things that anyone in the nineteenth century would have had no trouble with - like using a flint and steel to start a cooking fire. I couldn't watch any more of this nonsense and deleted it from my Kindle.

danshu This movie was excellent and I highly recommend it. There is a very good presentation of the main character's Christian faith helping her to survive. (Rare in this day to see Hollywood present an historically accurate Christian character as something other than a two dimensional caricature!) Whether you share her faith or not, you come away from this movie realizing how important faith and hope are to overcoming obstacles and surviving against the odds. It is important to suspend one's disbelief in the improbability of the events depicted and focus more on the message of the film. I suspect that the bad reviews are from folks that just "don't get it." This movie is one that is safe to watch with the family and one which you'll be discussing after it's over.
