Saving Winston

I thought this film was great. I'm sad to see the other review was so negative, but if they want a better film then they should make one themselves, which I'm certain they can not do. I thought the story line moved along just fine and I love the piano music throughout the movie. I can also relate since I was a troubled teen myself, one who struggled to find himself. The movie really isn't that bad. Not everyone will like the same things - that's OK. It's called contrast. If there was no contrast in this world we would all be blind. Sure, these aren't high ranking actors and actresses, but they certainly did a great job I think. It's worth watching. If you have a digital subscription NetFlix, you can watch film there. Take a chance - you might just like it :)

My grandmother and I grabbed this out of the $5 box at the store for a quick watch, and I really regret even spending that on it. There's no direction to the film. It rambles with pointless slow moving scenes, and interactions between characters are anti-climatic and uninspired, in part because the characters have no depth or believably, but also because the camera angles are set randomly without any regard to the goal of the scene. I suppose you can't expect much from a low budget Christian film, but it could have been done better than that. This film shouldn't have even been made honestly. It unfortunately reinforces the reputation of the Christian film genre for being cheap and not believable. If you can't do something well, you ought not do it at all.
