Hawks Ridge

Very real portrayal of a crisis in faith. I really disliked Chill, he played a good creep. Later you understood why. These 2 played off of each other great. As the story unravels, there are some surprises. Loved it.

Fab acting but the way the story plays out is boring as hell. Would someone be that good to rescue another person who had done something so awful to them. Think not. The start of the film was almost like trying to convert me?

This film captivated my imagination from beginning to end with its clever use of flashbacks and unfinished stories that yearn to find their resolution. It will move you to tears at times because there is so much pain unresolved, just as there is in life, no matter one's circumstances. A story of a black minister wrestling with God, grief, faith, wickedness, deceit, it is still anyone's story who has felt cheated, lied to, left to fend for themselves when nothing makes sense anymore. The acting is heartfelt, the casting excellent, the music and setting a somber match to the story's portrayal of isolation, regret, and ultimately a vague sense of hope that there is a future worth claiming.
