The Worst Film Ever
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I'm all for true stories made in films. This one is quite good and believable miracle, correlates well with the true story. The medical stuff is relatively well explained. The acting is decent. I accelerated the annoying bits. Good dvd extras of the real family.
Christy (Jennifer Garner) and Kevin Beam (Martin Henderson) have daughters Anna (Kylie Rogers), Abbie (Brighton Sharbino), and Adelynn (Courtney Fansler). They take care of animals with a giant dead tree in their yard. They attend the small Texas town church of Pastor Scott (John Carroll Lynch). Anna suddenly comes down with a mysterious illness and is in constant pain. Eventually, she's diagnosed with an incurable digestive disease. They are directed to specialist Dr. Nurko (Eugenio Derbez) in Boston. In desperation, Christy and Anna go see the doctor without the impossible-to-get appointment. Anna is shown kindness along the way like Boston waitress Angela (Queen Latifah). This is a real tear jerker especially with the suffering of young Anna. The acting is solid all around. I can do without the extended montages. This is a faith-based film. It gets a little heavy handed in the end. It would function more effectively by letting Anna's storytelling room to breathe. It tries to force it which diminishes Anna's tale to only the believers. This almost transcends the genre which could have been great.
I really enjoyed this faith-based film. Unlike so many other faith-based movies it felt really authentic...I didn't get the sense at any point that I was being manipulated as the audience, or that it was presenting the world simplistically, as so many other faith-based movies do. This film isn't afraid to tackle the tough questions of life, or portray someone who is struggling with their faith. The ending is very moving and uplifting, whilst remaining true to just how difficult life can be.
This is a beautifully made movie, inspiring, that can connect with anyone ( less the critics, the though guys), has the message , the heart and the hope that everyone - maybe - at a moment in their lives will dare to feel it. Having faith , real faith can turn bad into good, you can be heard. The cast gave amazing performances, I felt like I was there, the struggle, the pain, the fear of painful ending, the helplessness , inability to heal, to change and overcome the tragedy and the pain, our limitations in what we can do as human beings and then the tears of pain changing into tears of joy, gratitude and finally the faith that we are watched and taken care of, believe it or not.
