10/10
Charming and refreshing escape to a simpler time. Great talent.
24 February 2003
They were simpler times, in the North Georgia Mountains of the early 1900's. A good portrayal of period-referenced American sentiments and sensibilities overall. A very high-profile cast performs in poetic unison against the pleasing backgrounds. A full range of human emotion is encapsulated within a smoothly flowing plot and dialogue. Hope prevails over life's challenges. Kudos to the director for capturing it all within a wonderfully coordinated conceptual frame. Masterful use of color photography, balanced directing and editing, and artful presentation of a story of hope triumphing over tragedy.
