DVD Reviews of The Last Sin Eater
DVD Review: good movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Good movie for the whole family to enjoy theirs no foul language but their is a little violence when a man is getting beat up but a great family movie with a a good christian message.DVD Review: movie lacks historical context
Summary: 1 Stars
I was fine with this film until the main character said the word "Okay."
Then, later in the story, another character, the main character's father, said it over, and over, and over.
Welsh immigrants, coming to Appalachia in the mid nineteenth century, DID NOT USE this particular colloquialism!!
At that point, for me, the movie lost all credibility.
Further, I do not think, but can't be 100% sure, that bright pink would have been an accurate color for the little girl's pinafore in that place, and at that time.
As a former living history presenter, I am relatively certain, though, that this modern, analine-type dye color was not correct for the "period."
I also know for a fact that the Welsh were completely Christianized by this time in history.
Therefore, these people would have not only KNOWN about Jesus Christ...but they would likely have been the ones preaching His word! The Welsh are nothing if not zealous Christians!
Perhaps, however, that is a flaw that comes from the original book. I have not read it.
Anyway, I feel that the screenwriters, editors, and costume designers should have done their historical research much more thoroughly.
DVD Review: The Last Sin Eater
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a very good movie. It really showed that Jesus is the only way to forgive sin-not someone else. I would highly recommend it.DVD Review: Loved this Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved THE LAST SIN EATER. It brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. I know I will enjoy it for years to come. What an awesome message it brings to all.DVD Review: A beautiful enchanting tale about faith and trust
Summary: 5 Stars
The last sin eater is a story about faith, hardship, love, and greed. The main character is a little girl living in a small Appalachian cove that has endured the tragic loss of a kid sister whom she blames herself for her death. She has one true friend, a boy named Fagan, whose father is a sinful avaricious tyrant. Together, with the hand of God, they set out to make the terrible sins of the cove village people right. Don't want to give away to much... but it is a beautiful story that is suitable for all ages. This movie has not had much publicity, which saddens me deeply, for it is a magnificent captivating tale. The actors and the movie itself deserve much more. It is disappointing that we live in a time where movies like 8 mile and Jason receive Hollywood's attention. Perhaps that is why children like the sweet innocent kids portrayed in this movie no longer exist.

Part of the new wave of Christian filmmaking, The Last Sin Eater appeals to a broader family audience as well--and perhaps film lovers seeking, simply, more soul in their cinema. The film, directed by Michael Landon Jr., has more than a bit of homage to Little House on the Prairie as its story unfolds through the eyes of its young heroine, Cadi, a Welsh immigrant whose family has settled deep in Appalachia, bringing superstitions and rites from the Old World and melding them with those from the new. Cadi is played by Liana Liberato with gravitas and knowingness that evokes the young Anna Paquin. Cadi's turmoil begins at the deeply disturbing nighttime funeral for her beloved Granny, when a shadowy figure creeps in and chants, "For your earthly sins, woman, I pawn my own soul!" Cadi, warned her own soul would be in peril if she looked upon the sin eater, can't help turn around and lock eyes with the wretched man. And so begins Cadi's own journey of the soul. As tragedy and evil plague the plucky settlement, Cadi is driven to understand her own life and religious choices. "Would I have to live to be Granny's age to be forgiven for my sins?" a bleakly discouraged Cadi wonders in a voiceover. The costumes are sumptuous (perhaps a bit too much so for such a hardscrabble existence in the 1850s), as is the lovely but unforgiving landscape. Cadi's journey is rewarding, yet not at all predictably so. Terrific supporting appearances by Henry Thomas and Louise Fletcher flesh out a very moving tale. Extras include some deleted scenes, and some cool behind-the-scenes footage. --A.T. Hurley
