| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansLarson roots the story in as much historical record as is available, and where that's lacking, she fills in with a thoughtful imagining based on her impression of Jane and Emma's personalities. |
| Crooked MarqueeEric D. SniderAn engrossing historical drama... The rare film that's spiritually uplifting without glossing over the hard parts. |
| User ReviewKjirstin YKnowing the filmmaker made an honest portrayal of this film together with a great trailer makes me want to see it. Will review it once I've seen it. Coming to DC next week, check your local showtimes. |
| User ReviewRhett WThis movie shared a good message of how important freinship is in tragic and hard times. It also teaches one to look past the color of someone's skin and love them for who they are. This is an important message we definitely need in the world we live in right now. Wonderful movie I highly recommend. |

| User ReviewManuel NI am so excited to see this film in my boxxy software. It's raw, bold, and stunningly filmed! I love the sisterhood highlighted in this take on history.? |
| User ReviewRandy%20 HWhat a excellent performance by some amazing actors. Incredible scenes that take you back in time. Awesome historical account of some powerful women in history. Thank you for making this movie!! |
| User ReviewClark MIt's a movie that makes you think. Wonderful acting. I loved it and it touched upon several controversial and sensitive subjects in a very personal and appropriate way. My 10 year old son paid attention threw it all and we talked about important issues after the movie. Highly recommend it. |
| User ReviewDavid TVery powerful and moving movie about an important subject in Mormon history, but doesn't come across as being "preachy" and is entertaining to watch. It tells a story based on real people and isn't afraid to recognize both the good and bad from that time period. More Christian films should be unafraid to tackle difficult subjects in this way. |
| User ReviewBill MA must see movie regardless of your religious position. Based on true events, the plot centers on Emma Smith and Jane Manning as they stand vigil over Joseph Smith's body. Flashbacks reveal their backstory. The screenplay uses the conflicts of prejudice (racial, gender and religious) to explore the tensions that exist within societies and between individuals, even as they desperately try to live up to a higher moral code. This movie delivers on all levels. The attention to historic detail is extraordinary; supported by cinematography that is unique, fluid and expressive. Costumes are textured with homespun materials, hand sewn, and mended, as they would have been. The pace of the movie is deliberate and allows the actors time to deliver nuanced and profound performances. And, oh, how they deliver! Danielle Deadwyler and Emily Goss share an extraordinary energy and power that is a tribute to the courage and strength of the women they portray. Brad Schmidt plays Joseph as a man of generous spirit and deep understanding, yet still surprised by betrayal and cruelty. Even supporting players are passionate and raw. As we continue to wrestle with the critical questions posed by this film, it is wonderful to see history presented with compassion and truth. This movie made me think and feel, and left me with a greater appreciation of humanity's struggle to create a truly equal and kind society. |
