Sean Faris and Jes Macallan were both born in 1982, therefore their characters, Levi and Grace in this movie, (released in 2017) would have been both 35-year-olds. If Levi were his mother's first-born, would she still be having a baby after 35 years?
I know that in some cultures, girls get married while still in their early teens, so it was quite possible Mrs. Miller had Levi when she was 15 or younger. But after 35 years, a period of widowhood, a second husband, and two small children later, she gave birth to her youngest. I don't know, but isn't 50 a bit too old to have another baby?
I like the movie very much; what with great characters, excellent cinematography, clever use of light-and-dark and color (you could almost tell what time of the day each scene happens), breathtaking landscapes, a rare look inside the Amish culture, and a cohesive storyline that incorporates both mystery and romance. On those points, movie is superb.
I would love to give it a higher than 7-star rating, but somehow, the matter of a post-menopausal mother giving birth to a baby bothers me.
