A touching journey to triumph and victory.
I must admit that i am a huge fan of Jefferson Moore.I have all of his films on dvd and absolutely love,"The perfect gift."Read my review of it to find out how much i like the film.This film has his usual group of regulars popping up.People that we have seen in his various other films.It is dominated by a tremendous performance by Ashley Kate Adams.In a larger budget,bigger studio picture she would have surely been up for award after award for her performance in this movie.As a cancer victim,she is moving,touching and vulnerable.We feel for her as this disease and it"s effects shatter her life.This is also a film of hope and triumph.It"s central message is that true beauty is on the inside,not the outside and we are presented with people that the world has rejected seen in their true beauty as God sees them>this film is not overtly evangelical,as Moore"s other films are,but that does not detract from it"s message that God loves each one of us and we are important to Him,whether we are...
Many messages...
1 MESSAGE expertly delivers several (messages).
You don't have to be familiar with the heartache of cancer to appreciate a film that deals with the healing of mind and soul, as well as body. Which is exactly what JEFFERSON MOORE accomplishes with this movie.
Being a Christian novelist, I can rejoice in the works of others that both inspire me to improve my life and entertain me to the utmost, like 1 MESSAGE.
Ashley Kate Adams delivers a magnificent performance that brings Mr. Moore's script to fruition. She's on screen most of the film and we never tire of her presence. No small feat for any actor.
The ending is quite surprising but richly gratifying and will remain in your thoughts long after the film has ended.
Thank you for allowing me to support this film with my humble opinion.
If this one doesn't touch you, you ain't got no heart!
I'd read the book and was anxiously awaiting the film. Well, it arrived yesterday, so I sat down and watched it. After going through a half box of Kleenex (and I don't cry easy), I decided to watch it again. My wife was out, so we'll be watching it again tonight and it will probably grab me again. When I saw that it was 2 1/2 hours long, I was a bit concerned, but when the credits rolled, it didn't feel anywhere near that long. This is an excellent film. Low budget, but between the story, acting, and directing, you'd never guess it. I'm really glad I bought two copies, 'cause I'm sure one will never make it back. Somewhere along the line, it will disappear into the "I gotta have it" cabinet in someone else's home.
