If You're Gone

This movie deals with some rough themes. I was so ticked and confused at everyone for reprimanding Lil for not moving on. Then feeling at a loss at the end of the movie. God, please help people that cannot find loved ones, especially in their feelings of isolation, confusion and lack of closure.

I loved this movie!! It definitely touched on reality of a real life event. There's so many teenagers in the world who never know Jesus due to never being brought up in church. Well worth watching!

A very good movie. Not sure why some are so against it. There is some Christian themes, prayers and church scenes. But it not an overly, in-your-face 'Christian' movie. The turning to God when faced with tragedy was very believable and not exaggerated. It's a movie for the entire family...nothing objectionable. Sure, some of the acting wasn't that great. But, overall I really enjoyed it and recommend it. And, I was very happy with the ending...no spoiler...just think it was a great way to wrap everything up.

It seems that many viewers struggled to review this film, as I did myself, simply based on the unexpected ending. I started to skip this one, until I decided to research the individual for whom the film was dedicated. I was glad to have made the effort as it sort of 'humanized' the overall investment and sacrifice of many just to make the film, thus shifting my perspective from deflated emotions to a more balanced objective. That being said, I give the movie a solid '7' overall for the creative and talent componants, and the forging ahead to complete and bring it to market, as I can imagine the challenge for some in moving forward following the tragedy of a beloved member. As far as recommending, I would probably only do so if by prefacing that the viewer research facts revealed afterwards as I did. I would also highly suggest that they not attempt to do so prior to watching the film. Lastly, I came to final conclusion through writing this, that sometimes, life just doesn't make sense, and we're left to adjust to the truth that "it is what it is" and that's all it is.

Terrible movie do not waste your time watching this.
