Today is the first opportunity I have had to watch this movie, and so far I am in the middle of it and enjoying it a great deal.

Overall, I'd say that this was a very weak 4/10 (and that is probably being generous). They would not treat someone like this girl was treated for such minor things. In reality, the Amish are a very forgiving people. This seemed like a contrived way to move along the plot. You don't shun someone just because they left you at the altar and have some unresolved issues with their parents. the shunning itself happened for the wrong reasons. Will she, if she returns, end up with The Bishop? Another thing. If her former boyfriend who taught her how to play the guitar (and who she promised to marry) still actually alive and living in a city somewhere? We are told that he drowned and that they never recovered the body, but he obviously wanted "out." (and where did he ever get that guitar in the first place?) 4. Do her parents and the busy body midwife get into trouble for violating the shunning? 3.

Does she get to see her mother before she dies? 2. Are we looking at a series of films here? Unresolved issues included: 1. Okay, this was kind of mediocre up until the end, when it left everything hanging and did not resolve several of the major plot points.
