One of the things that I have really come to like about being able to stream movies is being able to discover films I would not have gone to a theatre to see, but turn out to be real gems. Stories about people with real and realistic dreams, their tragedies, their failures, and their successes...instead of the all-too-often fantastical crapola usually put out by Hollywood. This 'little' film is a good example.
I was a little worried that it was going to turn out to be a religious movie, and I noticed one other reviewer kinda thought that, too. But it's not. It is, however, in a sense, a morality play. It's about valuing people and their goals, whether they be a parent, or a sibling, or a romantic partner...and in this case an interracial theme, too...although it doesn't club you over the head with it.
The acting here is solid. The young male lead is African-American actor Caleb Castille. I predict we'll see more of him (and I see he has done a fair amount of television work). The female lead is Rose Reid, who also turns in a fine performance. The supporting actors are, for the most part, pretty solid, too.
I have to say that those who see this film as being similar to a Hallmark movie...why? Because it has positive themes without sex and violence? Shame on you for being so jaded.
I recommend this film.
