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

Rated: B

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

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.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

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.
