• Better than the trailer

  I absolutely loved this film. I can see this giving hope and bringing light into the lives of teens struggling to find happiness and to their parents who want to help them. The cinematography was excellent. The lighting was done well, the shot selection was good and the acting was great. Living in Texas I know they didn't just take the easy stereotype for each actor. These actors passed stereotypes and portrayed idiosyncrasies that really made each character come alive. It was as if the creators took perceived public opinion, wrinkled it in a ball and threw it in the trash to be replaced with what the majority really believes. The events and issues represented real struggles in the world. I was inspired by the messages portrayed and would say that faith-based film is making a strong case to rival mainstream film content in the box office.

• Amazing story

  I'll admit that I bought this movie just because Renee O'Connor of Xena fame was in it. But by the end of it, I had moved on from that. This movie is amazingly deep and mysterious. It sheds light on what happens when we aren't true to ourselves and hide the truth. Eventually, the truth wins out and our true meaning comes forward. From Adam following his father, even though I don't feel he truly wanted to, to Maureen hiding a lie, that was slowly destroying her, and onto Annie who didn't know who or what she was. It was riveting and painful and sad. Yes, there is a religious undertone to the story, but it's not religious. I didn't feel preached to at all. Loved it and highly recommend!

  Beyond the Farthest Star is a great movie in my opinion and anyone should go see it it is appropriate for almost any audience only young children would not be able to appreciate this or should not see this for the level of material that the movie is presenting. The director is doing a great job with this movie and I can't say enough how much I enjoy all the actors in this movie they all do a great job and whoever did the casting for this movie did a great job getting this team all together for this movie because it turned out great with a great ensemble of character in it each of them doing a great job with their parts.

  "Beyond the Farthest Star" is an insightful, mesmerizing story that centers on the Wells family. Each struggle with resentment and bitterness that threatens to destroy their family...and the emotions intensify following a move to the small town of Leonard, Texas. BTFS has universal themes that speak to all people and effectively weaves the idea that there is hope in spite of physical or emotional scars. This richly layered story shares a raw honest portrayal of transformation and restoration after hidden secrets are revealed and healing is allowed to begin. Elements of suspense, romance, and political intrigue are combined with multi-dimensional characters to present an escalating tension that intensifies to an explosive climax, and, ultimately, to a satisfying conclusion. When "Beyond the Farthest Star" was in theaters, I was able to see it several times and was riveted to the screen each time as I picked up nuances missed before. The story is fascinating and the actors do an incredible job of making their characters come to life on screen. This film also inspired a novel by Bodie & Brock Thoene, a Kinkade painting, and a new arrangement of "Beauty For Ashes" by Crystal Lewis. I am thrilled that it is coming to DVD so I can have a copy of my own and can share it with family and friends who missed it in theaters. Not for younger kids, but I highly recommend this movie for 13 and up!
