I completely enjoyed this movie. Contrary to what I seen in a different review, I am not in any way affiliated with the makings of this movie. There were a few things I would have liked to see with it or added in but I wasn't the writer and still enjoyed it. If I were to make a constructive criticism it would definitely be the ending. Did she make it in music or settle for small town life? Did she end up with good guy? Did she finally surrender herself to the love of Christ? This was, in my opinion a great start to a mini series and it was definitely left open enough to add a tremendous amount of content but it was still good.

Wholesome
Slow burn with technical issues.
The acting was ok. Story was slow. Might have earned an average rating but the technical flaws stand out.
Lighting / grading looks like it was done by 5 different people. At one point the white balance was way off. Shots in the same scene seamed like they weren't even Color matched. Really basic stuff that should not be in a feature film.
I think the editor can take some of the blame as some issues can easily be fixed in post. For example, dialog from another take didn't match the mouth movement of the actor talking. This could have been fixed by simply cropping in tighter.
Audio had issues with noise floor or room noise cutting out between angles in dialog. Again basic stuff recording room tone or manufacturing background sound.
Overall it is slow but watchable. Above average for general Christian movies these days.
Waste of my time
Movie seemed very incomplete and it was boring with very flat acting. The story line had potential but didn't come through. Completely wasted my time watching this.
