Just a little too ungainly, too jumbled at the end, for me to recommend, but it has heart, and I feel a lot of affection for it. Go to Full Review Allison Benedikt Chicago Tribune 04/24/2003

The movie, which could have been historically intriguing, ends up more of a generic soap opera. Go to Full Review Film Threat 12/06/2005

07/05/2008 Scripted by Pitre and his wife, Michelle Benoit, is more interesting for its historical setting than for its rather wooden drama, but Tim Curry gives a pretty good performance as the town's whiskey priest. See more 04/09/2007 Nicely made, decent acting and a good story. The period detail is so-so - it could have been better. The Louisiana setting is a plus, it adds flavor to the film. Better than average movie. See more Read all reviews
