With a finely written script imbued with humanity, two powerful leads, and a touch of stylish direction, this ranks among the most recommendable of Latter-day Saint films.

A view of a relationship and a story that i always wanted and have been wanteing to see. I have always wanted to see someone depict Emma as a real person with her very real trauma and pain. I thought this was well done. I quite enjoyed it.

Knowing the filmmaker made an honest portrayal of this film together with a great trailer makes me want to see it. Will review it once I've seen it. Coming to DC next week, check your local showtimes.

An engrossing historical drama... The rare film that's spiritually uplifting without glossing over the hard parts.

Larson roots the story in as much historical record as is available, and where that's lacking, she fills in with a thoughtful imagining based on her impression of Jane and Emma's personalities.

Rated: 3/4
