Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

alkerfn-mw I had the pleasure of seeing this movie today on my digital antenna TV. What a delight and a real tribute to the American spirit. Great story along with wonderful acting and beautiful scenery had me captivated. Hope to see it again if it should come on Antenna TV. The only recognizable character was Harry Dean Stanton and the role he played was certainly interesting and the complimenting cast was delightful. The story line is a testimony to the human spirit and the dedication to family bonds was gripping and made the movie an enchanting experience. More movies should be made such as this. No car chases or blowing up of building just pure story telling. I hope to have a chance to see this movie again.

richard.fuller1 Over the decades, I often have thought back to the country, coming-of-age movies and TV shows that came out around the same time as the Waltons and Little House On The Prairie, among them, Palmerstown USA, Where the Red Fern Grows, Apple's Way among so many other programs.How about that one with Glenn Ford and Julie Harris? Caught a bit of it recently. Family Hoke or something? Bit too much, really.But I always remembered a girl who I knew was NOT Sissy Spacek swearing at someone in a (hospital room?) knew it wasn't an office.She began talking calmly, then cut loose with "D-*- you! D*-* you!" over and over, real loud and the laziest drawl I had ever heard (I'm from the south myself).Then it seemed she was walking home on the country road and the truck came pulling up behind her and she was cussing quietly under her breath.It was this movie. Just watched it. There it all was again.Did remember the kids in that runaway truck coming to a stop in the ditch out in the field like that, but didn't realize it was the same movie.Now if I could just find the movie where the woman (Kim Darby looking) is a new teacher in the boonies and is teaching kids Old McDonald and none of them sing with her and one little girl gets up to go to the chalkboard and slides her feet across the floor and the teacher has to correct her on this.Somebody clearly didn't know this isn't the lazy way of walking, sliding your feet on the floor like that. Not picking your feet up or dragging them is more the result that this sliding depiction.There were many movies and TV shows about the backwoods country living, life down on the farm, but like so many things out of Hollywood, you can't really believe the way they are shown in programs and movies.

lesliempalmisano I have been dying to see the movie on TV again. I wish they would show it!!! It's a lovely movie about this family, with a strong lead female character. . She has a lot of spunk & tenacity . I remember seeing it on a lazy Sunday afternoon and it was a kind of a surprise to be so good being a TV made movie. The cinematography is lovely. It seems to be a place of quiet beauty. May be one day I will go the place where it was filmed. I even remember the background music and the sounds of the rustling trees and the wind going thru the mountain brush. It really had an impact on me. I recommend this movie highly. Please if anyone sees when this will be showing, let me know.

jessfink This wonderful 1974 film was one I saw when it came out at age 6 and it has stayed with me to this day, 20-odd years later. It is the kind of small, well-written, well-acted, poignant, earnest and meticulously crafted piece of filmmaking that simply does not exist today. Anyone, man or woman, old or young, will truly enjoy watching this great, great film.
