Alain E @AlainE May 22 Distressing to watch, this movie conveys realistically how religious fanaticism poisons human behavior. The story unfolds with excellent timing. The worst events occur offscreen. Eventually one of the two daughters decides to escape the insanity. An excellent BBC production available on Tubi.

Religion can offer hope, meaning and belonging, but often there can be a heavy price to pay as well. See more N M 02/12/2024 It was disturbingly accurate. See more Emma G 06/08/2023 Very accurate description of life as a young jw. Was a very hard watch. See more The I 01/27/2023 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! See more isla s 09/03/2022 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.
