Movie Review - Peace River
Peace River caught me off guard. I knew nothing about the movie going in. Lucky for me, prior to the showing there were interviews with the writer/actor, Benjamin M. Jones. He truly wrote this from his heart. I felt it throughout the entire film. The story was endearing, heartbreaking, and full of real-life situations and problems.
This is a very religious movie. I myself am not religious so that part of the story did not appeal to me. However, if you are a religious person, this one's for you. His message is clear.
The cast is made up of people involved in his vision. I don't believe they are professional actors. That being said, the acting wasn't great. The filming wasn't great but again, the story was there.
Grade: C+
