Pluskylang Great Film overall
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Mark Wow, this was horrible! About 10 minutes in I started skipping ahead 10 minutes at a time. I still wasted WAY too much time on this ridiculous story. It amazes me that this could have even been filmed. My 2-star rating was extremely generous! I guess we are supposed to be drawn in by the country folk and their small town ethics. I for one would have only returned for something like Christmas, and then stayed for maybe a few hours.My summary should have just been one word, BORING!
gchussar-729-868598 "Angel's Perch" is an amazing film, beautifully acted, written straight from the heart. It tells a story that will resonate with many but avoids clichés. The characters are so real, you walk away feeling like you know them. Anyone who has had to care for a loved one suffering from Alzheimer's will relate to the ups and downs and struggles that this family goes through. But there are light moments as well; quirky townspeople, relationships with expertly blurred boundaries. This film makes you feel that you are actually not in a theatre, but a fly on the wall, lucky enough to glimpse into the character's lives. In a world of big budget super hero block busters, this is incredibly refreshing. Hats off to the cast and crew!
Britt Reints This movie does a beautiful job of telling the story of Alzheimer's without resorting to clichés. It lets you experience the heartbreak of the disease from the side of the family and the victim. It also addresses many of the concerns that come with caring from those who used to care for us.It's no surprise that the theater was filled with sounds of people crying. What was a surprise was how many times we also laughed out loud. The script didn't rely on emotional manipulation, but simply let the story unfold and the humanity of its characters shine.The scenery of the movie was beautiful, and anyone who lives in or has visited Western PA and West Virginia will appreciate seeing the location stand out as an additional character.
Merle Pastrick Linn Almost heaven...the beauty of the West Virginia mountains and the Greenbrier River are the perfect backdrop for this pure love story. Polly or Nana as her grandson Jack calls her, loves her home and wants to stay there despite the beginning stages of Alzheimers. Jack loves his grandmother and has to face that her life is changing. Only someone who has walked the path with a family member with Alzheimers could have written a movie so infused with love, laughter, and tears and not make it a tragedy. Grandparents and grandchildren have a love story all their own and this movie is surely a testament to J.T.Arbogast's love for his grandmother. Arbogast brilliantly used the historic town of Cass WV to illuminate the story that confronts mainstream America on a daily basis. Excellent acting and surprises in the plot keep the story from becoming predictable. I would recommend this movie to everyone.
