The fact that I didn't grow up without a father, this film certainly resonated with me quite a bit. Interesting too that the father character, Scott Dauer, is a film producer, just like my late dad was who was a screenwriter. The relationship of father and daughter (played by Dariush Moslemi and Anna Stranz, respectively) is pretty compelling, starting out testy but they slowly bond as they spend more time with each other.The dialog feels natural, peppered with comic moments as well as profound spiritual conversations that is organic to the story. I enjoyed the performances from both leads. There's humor and touching moments, which makes the road trip far from boring. The only part that I find a bit awkward is the scenes between the daughter and a film star her dad's pursuing for his film. Overall though, it's a well- crafted and well-acted Minnesota-made indie drama that should appeal to teens, families and the faithful communities. Props to writer/producer Scott Peterson and director Andrew Hunt, it's a lovely little story of pain, hope, healing, and redemption.

... View MoreThis movie was excellent, my daughter and I cried tears of joy. God has such a way of doing things, and this movie is an example. I enjoyed every moment that captured how God works in mysterious ways. If you know someone who is an unbeliever, this is an excellent movie to take them to see. This may be just the movie that leads them to Christ.

The visual storytelling was well done and first rate, worthy of the big screen on which I saw this film.The story line is captivating, and all to realistic in our culture today. In a world of broken families and relationships it is good to know that there is hope. This story of restoration and renewal is not a Pollyanna, "all they needed was to spend ten minutes in prayer and all will be well." This story is the real story of struggle and heartache and the scars that run deep in a child's life.The two main characters were portrayed by Dariush Moslemi and Anna Stranz, who I'll be honest, I never heard of but their portrayal was compelling. It did amazing justice to the story and I know I will see them again!I so enjoyed this movie and I can't wait to take others to see it with me.
