I did not have high expectations going into this film. But I was somewhat surprised. Firstly the setting of the 1800's is well established and believable. You honestly feel like you are watching a true tale that took place during that era. The devotion and eternal patience for true love shown by Michael Hosea is somewhat touching.
There are a number of things you can pull from this film. One of them is how different a love story this is and quite unique. Two very different people. Also the futility and fragility of Angel who struggled to escape her life and constantly felt she was not good enough for anyone. Another theme on display is the struggle a woman faced in those times to stand on her own and how institutions have a way of handcuffing a person to a certain way of life, she felt branded by the cards she was dealt in life. The film has a nice enough outcome and ties the story well together in the end.
