Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

crushmonkey In a time where Americans are overwhelmingly disbelieving or outright ignorant of the fact that polygamy and child marriage are still an issue here, I applaud a major network willing to take on the topic.As a former Kingston Group member, I am pragmatic enough to understand that not having professional actors involved would likely beg the arrangement of scripted scenes in order to achieve a level of ratings to keep the network interested in continuing the series.I feel so strongly that this is one of the only options left for raising awareness and exposing wrongs left by society and the State to continue and fester for so long.I don't care if these women are getting paid for their stories or activities. Good for them if they are. I don't care if some of the situations seem like 'bad acting' because you're dealing with a group of people who are overwhelmingly taught to subvert or misdirect their emotions in the first place, for their WHOLE LIVES. Don't be surprised if their response to a situation isn't what someone never involved or having had the experience would expect. How unfair is it to project your own emotional expectations upon a whole society of emotional cripples? People are leaving bad reviews because the show isn't immersing them to their own ideal expectations and entertaining them to their heart's content, when, as a retired actor, I feel it should be highlighted that in order to do so, you'd firstly need professional actors to convey those situations, and Hollywood sets, directors, etc. By circumventing all that and indulging in some scripting/coaching when necessary, the network is doing their best to please both their shareholders and consumers. There is no way to please them both equally so the network walks the middle ground.Which I have no problem with. As a former Order member, who has seen Kingston family members give their court statements or press releases, yet where the voices of any dissenters are consistently silenced, why be surprised when people turn to the venue of network television to get their story told? 10 out of 10 for the simple fact of raising awareness. The fact that people are debating the veracity of the show on IMDb means that there is more awareness today because of the show than there was without it.

Biancs06 I just happened to catch an episode of this tonight and I was so close to changing the channel but then I saw the opening theme and I was shocked. I knew cults existed but wow was I enlightened tonight. this is one of the saddest most inhumane things I've ever heard of. the fact that this "order" exists and that the law enforcement and powerful people of Utah just look away from the incest and abuse is horrid. I'm not sure about these negative reviews and how other people are saying that it's just members of the cult trying to downplay this show and get people to think its fake but I truly don't believe this is fake. do they overdramatize certain scenes? yes. do they cut to commercials at cheesy times just to make it more "exicting"? yes. but I truly believe that this show is the true portrayal of 3 girls who made it out of this cult and are trying to help others do the same. it's just unfortunate that the network that this show is on thinks that they have to use cheap reality show tactics to get viewers. I was moved to tears listening to how brainwashed these women/girls are. it's a very sad situation that I don't think will ever get fixed because of the power/money of the men who run this group. so decide for yourself if you think this show is scripted or not. my vote is no and I'll definitely be watching again soon.

stephens_jared Horrible acting. It is interesting to have a show where you are running but nobody is chasing you. The people that are "escaping" have already left the groups they are supposedly escaping from. They just have them go to a house somewhere and film them "escaping". In the 'Kathy' show. Kathy had left her husband five years previous and had never been seen in the "group" since. She went back to her mothers home and filmed an "escape". They show pays them a certain amount of money to do this.They are paid actors and should use their pay on some acting classes. The acting is just terrible. It's not reality TV. The whole thing is very scripted. Don't waste your time.
