Audience Member A gorgeous movie with religious indoctrination as the main villain. Its gripping, emotional and well acted. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent movie you can really feel the tension between the characters. It shows the Jehovah's Witness religion in a respectable manner and how the young girl is forced to choose between her religion, her family, and the boy she loves who is a non-believer. The actors a phenomenal. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent drama based on a true story of a Jehovah's Witness girl in Denmark, forced to choose between love and her family, by an authoritarian religious sect. Although there are some dissimilarities from my experience as a JW (such as the Congregation Overseer elder having a beard), I am sure that is mostly due to cultural differences and translation. On the whole, I feel this movie fairly accurately portrayed the JW lifestyle, and what can happen when the rules are broken. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member (*** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] A well-acted and interesting film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting and emotionally gripping, but lacks any solid ending. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I totally relate to this film the same thing happened to me, except i wasnt a jehovahs witness Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
