Wild Faith

It's amazing when a story comes to life on the big screen and you feel you're a part of it, sitting on the edge of your seat in anticipation of what's going to happen next....Every aspect of Wild Faith is done exceptionally well...actors are true to character and the story line touches your heart....who could ask for more. Can't wait to see it again!

Saw this movie on 3-20 with my family which includes a 9 year old grandson. We enjoyed it and thought it was awesome. DJ Perry did a fantastic job writing and acting in this epic filmed in Michigan. Two thumbs up, go see it while you can.

Started slow while introducing the characters and their patterns of behavior. But as the story developed it holds your attention. Good depiction of the preacher caught in religiosity and pain from loss. Good depiction of the challenge of racism at that time, with most people against it, but a few carried their simplistic beliefs past the war. I loved the portrayal of fear when search for the lost animal, as few have seen nor know anything about capturing such an animal. The weak point was that the the sheriff was poorly acted and characterized. Not a complicated story with plot twists and such, but a good story. Sometimes the story is more important that great acting and great directing.

This film does well at telling a period story and tackling some larger societal issues through an anachronistic lens. Production value is good, with most of the cinematography being near the level of many big budget films. The acting is mostly on point and doesn't detract from the overall film - I would highlight the performances of Lana Wood and Dean Teaster as the most believable within the movie. While not the spectacle of an over the top blockbuster or a Spielberg film, this is a worthwhile movie deserving of your time.

I really enjoyed the movie for the story. And for the Cinematography. A great movie about faith and true love and fighting for what is right. The only down side was it was hard to hear what they were saying and there was no closed captioning avalible.
