My whole family had been anxiously awaiting the release of this Michigan based film. It was refreshing to be a part of a movie that shared not only an excellently written story but one that shared a deep sense of values within the context of it. I was highly impressed with the quality of the production and HOPE the tv series actually comes to be!
I can see why the show times were held over! I Highly recommend Wild Faith! I already want to see it again!

My first criteria for a good movie is if I would watch it again. I would. It's a visual feast. Some shots -- fog lifting, river moving, oak forests, a few close-in drone shots -- really spotlighted the beauty of the area. It was almost meditation for me to watch that in a darkened theatre, and it helped a good movie take its time, even as the story moved forward at a good pace. Good acting -- loved Emmet and his kindness and his pain and his subtle facial expressions. Loved watching him split wood! I felt like I know a lot of guys like him, and the people around me in the theatre said the same (we talked about it after). Fantastic work by Hester the Ojibway woman. As a baby boomer, I was happy to see the famous Lana Wood in this movie. The bad guys were not stock evil (except maybe the sheriff). Mostly they were scary and goofy at the same time, which makes them more interesting to me. Good writing -- fun lines to remember. I felt I understood why the characters found themselves in each other's lives, thanks to the right amount and timing of flashbacks. Civil War flashbacks also very, very good. I'm a native rural Michigander, and this movie being so "Michigan" made it even more of a pleasure to watch. Bravo and brava to all involved.

It's amazing when a story comes to life on the big screen and you feel you're a part of it, sitting on the edge of your seat in anticipation of what's going to happen next....Every aspect of Wild Faith is done exceptionally well...actors are true to character and the story line touches your heart....who could ask for more. Can't wait to see it again!

Life was not easy in the 1800's and there are plenty of reasons to not want to bring certain aspects of life back then to the forefront, but Wild Faith is brave enough and coherent enough to both capture the world and its many flaws as well as present it in a respectful manner. The characters depicted are brought to life in a heartfelt way, with the actors and actresses performing top-tier emotion. I thoroughly enjoyed watching all of these great things come together. This film has certain segments that reveal an important past for one of our characters and the way that these scenes are woven through the narrative is seamless and a joy to experience. Collective Development Inc., the wonderfully talented people who created this film, have done it again.
