N M It was disturbingly accurate. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review P B Horrible acting made even worse by the inaccuracies in the writing and facts that are assigned to the religious aspects and beliefs too - but then it is a film, not a documentary and so can portray things how they want. Fortunately the JWs are nothing like that in real life. Boring film with more inaccuracies than U-571. Could've been improved with better writing and research on all the aspects of topics discussed. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/17/23 Full Review Emma G Very accurate description of life as a young jw. Was a very hard watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/23 Full Review The I This movie is an extremely accurate depiction of life as a Jehovah's Witness. It shows the mind-numbing tedium of that life, the intolerance to those who are not JWs, and the damage it does to families. It's an incredible movie. Bravo! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review isla s This is certainly a thought-provoking watch - it's not one for people after fast-paced, action-packed sort of a watch but I felt it did well in terms of providing an insight into what it may be like for teenage Jehovah's Witnesses and it makes you think about how organisations perhaps do try to control peoples behaviour and thinking. Its quite an understated film but in a good way. The organisation comes across as quite unemotional, which I found saddening, frankly. Of course it would be good, I suppose, to have a strong enough faith in something to be 100% certain your doing the right thing in following the ways you've always followed but the impact it has on those you love, who your around, can't be understated and this film highlights this well. It paints the Jehovah's people are somewhat cult-ish, a bit like Scientologists perhaps, without so much money passing hands though, I assume(?!). Overall, I would recommend this film, yes. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review clare k This is an intimate, understated film about faith and family, and what people are willing to do for them. Quiet, introspective and ultimately devastating. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
