    Not only a moving and wonderful movie but the song, “Inside The Cry” by Kelly Clarkson is beautiful. I’ve tried every which way to find it to upload or buy to no avail. So sad.

    I don’t know what else to say... the story was incredibly written... you could feel the crippling heartache and the yearning to hear her son’s cry again. Powerful. Get your Kleenex ready!

    I wish I’d bought this instead of just renting it. It’s got a great (formulaic but great) story, great cast and it’s shot so beautifully. What’s not to enjoy here?

  • Excellent Movie Deserving All Five Stars!

    Rotten tomatoes is totally off base these days scoring this movie so low. Don’t listen to RT and just watch this movie. Filmed in Ireland, the movie has a beautiful backdrop. Add the classical music, terrific acting and a plot with a twist and WOW, this movie was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a while.

  • Loved this story

    Venessa Redgrave is captivating, a treasure to behold. I ran across this movie by accident and I’m so glad I did. The story captures and transports you into a story of love, fear, suspense, and hope. One of my new favorites.

    I didn’t know what to expect from this movie. Thought it was more of a Christian based movie, however it wasn’t what I expected. It was a pleasant surprise and I very much enjoyed it. I hear the book is better which is usually the case so now I will read the book.

  • Worth watching.
