Angel's Perch is the story of Jack, a successful architect living in Pittsburgh, who must make the trip to his tiny hometown when his grandmother Polly, who is suffering from Alzheimer's, is found wandering outside her house one morning. But what was intended to be a two day, under the radar trip to town becomes more complicated when Jack is unable to move Polly into an assisted living facility. Torn between the career opportunity of a lifetime, caring for his last living relative and running from his own painful memories, Jack's carefully constructed life begins to unravel. As the town prepares to honor Polly's life by crowning her "Queen of Cass" and the pressure to return to Pittsburgh mounts, Jack struggles to hide behind the walls he has built. And when he finally reveals his secret to an old childhood friend, he is forced to choose between standing still or facing the pain of his past, so that he can finally move forward. Set almost entirely in the small, historic logging town of Cass, WV, Angel's Perch examines the delicate relationship between past and present, memory and loss.

| User ReviewTallan TVery poignant film that exposes through the whole human range of emotions...pain thru joy the raw face of Alzheimer's. Materfully directed...produced....acted...Pure West Virginia...country folk proud! |
| User ReviewPatrick LThis is not a movie, this is a film! It's a truly heartwarming story that pulls you in within the first ten minutes and holds your attention. It applies humor at the proper moments as well as being able to jerk a tear from even the strongest person because of its accurate portrayal of Alzheimer's Disease. It showcases the unparalleled beauty of the great State of West Virginia as well as the unity and sense of family of its residents! Two thumbs way, way up!! A must see!! |
| User ReviewAdam HI have been waiting a long time to see this film. I am also very proud that someone finally put a film out about West Virginia that does not degrade us. Thank you. I can't wait to see it. |
| User ReviewVictoria RAngel's perch is a beautiful tribute to both those touched by alzheimers and the state of West Virginia. The cinematography, acting, and story is all incredible. Do yourself a favor and see this phenomenal movie as soon as possible. |

| User ReviewMike BGreat film with wonderful actors telling an endearing story of family devotion & courage- and all in an amazingly beautiful small-town setting. A must-see. |
| User ReviewSheree AI saw Angel's Perch in Raleigh this past week with one of my best friends from high school. We both grew up in West Virginia and had both been to Cass and, of course, rode that fabulous train. Angel's Perch is something that the people of West Virginia can be truly proud of. What a great movie... and message. The actors, the scenery, and all round development of the story, was one best I've ever seen. No one in the audience moved, nor did anyone check their cell phones (this includes myself), or chat with those around them... Everyone's focus was on that movie screen. That's a first for me. I've never seen a movie where at least one person didn't get up and leave the auditorium for one reason or the other. Angel's Perch is a first in many ways. If you don't go see it, you are depriving yourself of, quite possibly, the best movie of the year... Sheree Alderman, Co-Editor and Entertainment Writer for Beach Carolina Magazine |
| User ReviewSuzanne HTouching and realistic. I was entertained from start to finish. |
| User ReviewMarsha BWell paced family story held my attention throughout. The characters were human scaled, the interactions emotive and real, and the acting sincere and of high quality. I was not alone in needing a few tissues to get through this poignant tale, filmed reportedly in just 18 days in the glorious WV hills. |
