9.0 stars.
I feel that less is more with this film, and if I try too hard to do it justice, I might say too much. 'North to Home' is a journey that must be appreciated by everyone, a masterpiece worthy of receiving awards.
It's a tear-fest start to finish...happy tears, reminiscent tears, loving tears, gripping tears. The acting is absolutely superb, these ladies shine like angels. In addition to the sublime performances shared by the women, the men also stand out in spite of their backseat roles.
Hats off this this film, it's probably the finest Hallmark I've seen. It is balanced so perfectly with all elements seamlessly working together. It's about a family that reunites for a mother's birthday to share the memories of past tragedy, courage, and healing. The characters are so likable, and the relationships are equally as authentic and full of life, energy, and depth. Fonseca, Sustad, Durance...Enough said. Each of them tapped into some magic from deep inside themselves to bring us a perfect interpretation of a family coming together to share life and all it has to offer.
I will honestly say this is the most well-rounded film I've seen in a long while; and although 'North to Home' is not my highest rated Hallmark, it is by far the best one.
