Some viewers will find this a bit slow for them, but if you perceivere you will love it.
I don't think I have ever seen an Ellen Burstyn performance that I did not like and MacKenzie Foy was just excellent in her role. In fact both children were rather well played by MacKenzie Foy and JP Vanderloo.
If you are not into historical stories or aren't fond of feel good movies, give this a miss, you probably won't like it either. This is no lovey dovey romance, but it is a really good movie that can be watched by most, although not necessarily appreciated by all.
Overall I really liked it and recommend it to anyone who wants to feel good about the world for a moment.

This movie is stunning with a lovely lilting pace, beautiful photography and a cast of actors young and old to be proud of. I would never have guessed this is a low budget film. It is superbly done.
Emotion filled Family Drama set in 1940's Virginia. Nice script for the all star ensemble of Actors !! Rich characters. All round Good Film, especially the Courtroom scenes. Narration top notch !!
Heartwarming story of love, loss and greed and how it affects people across generations.

No, it's not action packed as is usually the case with a lot of movies now, but more importantly it took me to another time and place. A place that I didn't want to leave. I'm not going into details, I want you to watch this. I honestly savored every minute of this movie and took my sweet time watching it. Very well crafted and edited and I was honestly surprised at the seemingly simple ease at going back in time, to another place and taking you right along with them. I cannot recommend this enough.
