Acting: The delivery and the expressions of the actors made me feel a
simple, back country way of life in this movie. They kept my
interest and moved me to want to find out who done it.
Special Effects: None, movie shot in natural surroundings in Missouri.
Audio: Bluegrass Country music captured the feeling of a simple life in
the back country.
Movie Message: Help can come from unexpected places.
Recommended for: Anyone who likes the suspense of a mystery and the heartache
feeling of wondering if anybody is going to help this unfortunate
family.
My Comment: This is not a movie that takes me away to imagined places but
most definitely keeps me grounded by the chains of the less
fortunate you don't really hear about. The who-done-it question
and the hoping that someone would help, kept my interest to the
end. I recommend watching this movie but choose your viewing
time wisely. If you're already stressed, it may bring you down
more before showing a ray of hope.
