It brings tears to your eyes to watch such a brave film in our times... This is a recipe that should be followed more... If not the only recipe to make a movie... It comes from people who care... So the question is: Do you want to watch more films like that? With a true heart beat of their own? Show and share your love and support. I'll try to do so...

We saw this film at a special screening in Nashville a few months ago at the Franklin Theater. This is a very mesmerizing piece of art and deserves to be seen!
I just read a really negative review on here saying this is some sort of right-wing, anti-vax, pro-Christian, wet dream and wanted to respond -as one of the most pro-vax, non-religious, left-leaning people you'll ever meet. That review is complete nonsense!
As with any art piece, there are about a million ways you can interpret anything. This movie isn't really political at all, at least not from a traditional ideology, and even if you DID want to put it in a political box, I'd say it is about non-conformity, rebellion, individuality, and acceptance - certainly not positions the US right believes in. Are there religious undertones? Maybe, if you are inclined to believe there are, you can find them. You can certainly find a "higher-power" but not a benevolent god one should worship
At it's core, this is an incredible achievement in both aesthetic beauty and sound. It is a touching story of survival and friendship in a world gone mad. And it's all done with no dialogue. It's a two hour long sensory journey that you've never seen anything like before and may never see again. I would 100% recommend it.
I really wish it had been released on more screens around the country because not seeing it on the big screen will most assuredly lessen the impact that it has on you. This is a work of art that deserves to be seen!

Absolutely beautiful film that is wonderful to look at and moving to consider. I don't often watch films more then once, but I look forward to experiencing this film a second time. Thank you to the director, writer and cast that made this charming and deeply meaningful movie possible. As I was watching I could not stop myself from thinking about the amount of time and work that had to go into this project. With all the lazy writing and storytelling that is common with many films today, this was a breath of fresh air. The telling of a story through glances, facial expression and body language drew one to concentrate even more on the characters and their own idiosyncrasies. I found myself lost with them and rooting for them with each struggle they attempted to overcome. Really wonderful and moving experience.
I was drawn in by the music and atmosphere from the teaser trailer and when the full trailer came out, I was fully hooked. I was unable to see it in a theater, so I watched it online, and I was still blown away by it. This was one of the few movies I've seen where you just sit back and just experience it, like 2001 A Space Odyssey. The fact that there are no words, just adds to what's on the screen. I deal with PTSD, so the fact that this movie had nothing that triggered it was really appreciated. There are no jump scares or anything cheap along those lines. This is a movie for the ages. Watch it, and just sit back and enjoy the visual and aural ride.
Jamin Winans does it again with an artistic and emotional new film dealing with the connection between God and created beings. The movie is two hours long but the time flies. The score by the director was perfect, the actors were great even in the no spoken dialogue context of the film. There are a lot of meaningful tidbits to discover in the film which I will leave to the watcher. It is well worth viewing and one can only hope Jamin Winans puts more films out for the world to enjoy.
I wont spoil the plot except to say the lead protagonist believes she received a message from her creator and the rest should be seen to be experienced.
