| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanInstead of focusing on the part of the story that's potentially affecting, writer/director Andrew Librizzi overcrowds his picture with subplots that go nowhere and extraneous characters who could have easily been chopped out. |

| User ReviewMatt HI had the pleasure if seeing "Beyond the Farthest Star" on October 18, 2013 at the Cinemark West Plano in Plano, Texas. I have seen several faith-based films. In each case, I left the film feeling like I had just watched a made-for-TV movie or an after school special. As a result, I was a bit skeptical going in to see "Beyond the Farthest Star". While delivering a good message, this genre often "preaches" to the viewer, and in many cases seems to lack in quality acting, writing, direction, and production. I understand filmmakers for this genre are limited by budget, but I do not watch a film for its potential. "Beyond the Farthest Star" has forever changed my expectations. With regard to writing, acting, production, cinematography, soundtrack, and score, this film can clearly hold its own up against any secular film. The plot was engaging and complex. The acting was not only believable, but also moving. No single actor stole the show, but rather the entire cast pulled equal weight. For a duration of the film, I was lost in a story and was quickly committed to the characters. This is a feat not easily accomplished in many mainstream films. The beautiful score was moving without being distracting. And lastly, while clearly touching on a faith-based message, "Beyond the Farthest Star" did not preach to the viewer. Frankly, I do not go to the cinema to be spiritually moved. I go to be entertained. It is my hope that potential viewers are not turned off from watching this film based on prior faith-based films. I am confident any non-believer or fan of dramas would equally enjoy this film. "Beyond the Farthest Star" is a refreshing change for faith-based films and has set a new standard for all dramas. |
| User ReviewAngel AA touching story that you simply must see! |
| User ReviewDeborah CAn amazingly poignant story delivered in a masterfully artful medium. It is a must see for everyone in this world...a world that can be so bleak at times. It offers much needed hope in these days where, at times, there does not seem to be any. Go see it!!!!!!!!!! |
| User ReviewMark RThis movie is so well written and captured on camera!! It's not very often that I find myself still trying to sort out the ending with only 10 minutes of the film left. Andrew Librizzi skillfully takes the audience into the lives of the characters. I felt like a fly on the wall in someone's home. The raw emotion coupled to believable characters is a rare find in today's hyper-sexed, CGI world of surrealism theater. |
| User ReviewGenie HWhat a beautiful movie! I was completely absorbed in the film, lost in the story and the portrayal of the characters. I felt their struggle and pain, especially with the problems that were similar to those in my own life. I was distraught by the wrong decisions made by the characters, seeing the dramatic portrayal of the damage caused by secrets kept from those closest to you. "Beyond the Farthest Star" is an incredibly well-made film. The quality of acting, writing, production, and musical score rivals many high-budget films. While I normally go to the theater to watch action movies (primarily for the special effects "eye candy"), I was completely absorbed and entertained by this film. I am incredibly proud and blessed to have see this in the theater. |
| User ReviewRob SBeyond The Farthest Star is without doubt the best faith-based feature film I have ever experienced. I say "experienced" because merely "viewing" this film as a detached observer is next to impossible. This engaging drama simply offers so many points of connection with real-life people in real-life situations that only an entirely disinterested multitasking super-achiever using the film strictly as "background noise" could help but be affected in some meaningful way by this masterfully scripted, astutely casted, brilliantly performed, and profoundly impactful story. Unlike most of its generic counterparts, BTFS is not overtly "preachy." Instead, it offers slices of life that have multiple points of contact with all audiences, all pointing in the direction of God. Its unsanitized peek into a particular family's world offers hope to lost and struggling souls and, at the same time, challenges Christians to personally apply the principles we (sometimes glibly!) proclaim. |
| User ReviewDebbie WThis movie was fantastic. The first faith based movie I've ever seen that had good acting (not cheesy) and the intertwined relationships were so true to life. This once famous preacher finds himself facing many obstacles as he tries to restore both his career as a preacher and his family. Kept me glued to my seat wanting to see what would happen next. Due to the topic content this is it not a movie I would take small children to see, but it is Fantastic for Jr. High through Adults audiences. A riveting example of how Satin works in our lives and how God can help us overcome. |
