Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
mackey-10195 For anyone who thinks that the jw's are a harmless religious sect, you need to see this truthful film from someone who was on the inside. My mom and family and whole community of people that were the only ones I was allowed to have any association with, they are all shunning me, and I haven't even done anything wrong at all, I just stopped believing that it was the only true faith and that jw's were the only ones that were going to survive the destruction of Armageddon. But because of this, I've lost everyone. Highest rate of suicide of any group is the jw's. It's not harmless, it's abusive and makes people feel trapped. This movie is completely accurate and shows the inner world that most outsider's will never get to see. A sad, but truthful film, that is a must watch! Cults of this kind are dangerous!
tonypeacock-1 Thought provoking film with a central plot line featuring the Jehovah's Witness faith. It follows Oldham, Lancashire, UK single mother Ivanna (Siobhan Finneran) a devout follower of the faith as she brings up her two teenage daughters. Facing struggles with both of them that question the faith. Now I don't want to pass judgment on that faith however certain scenes and plot lines make the audience do I'm sure. Chloe the youngest daughter has medical issues with anaemia that required the forbidden blood transfusion at birth. Luisa the elder sister has a relationship out of marriage and inter faith. She falls pregnant. As a consequence of her actions she is deworshipped from the faith and faces a long struggle to be accepted again. A struggle that she eventually gives up on. Finneran gives an excellent performance. It is remarkable that she played Rita in Rita, Sue and Bob Too back in 1987.
fergalthompson 2 Thessalonians 2 verse 3 reads : "Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction." Just a reminder to all that this verse applies to all evil apostates in a general sense not just the garbage that is apostasy film. Avoid apostasy film at all costs. The Bible prophesied Apostasy. The Bible says it had to come before the end. Apostasy has been in existence for many hundreds of years now, in fact since the death of the Apostles. These apostates have not got much time left and they and Satan are desperate. As pointed out at the conventions.. Be courageous. Apostates like the director of this film are weak and gutless, whilst Jehovah's Witnesses are courageous. Jehovah's Organisation is invincible and Jehovah's People are protected. Keep the Faith people. Apostasy film is cinematic sewerage. Apostasy film is based on lies, lies, lies & then even more satanic lies.
jackbakerbusiness I was raised as a Jehovah's witnesses and left when I was 18. This is a supremely immense film and very good for ex JWs and Jws alone.
