I watch hundreds of indie films every year and I rarely comment on but jamie Bernadette truly carries this film to a new level. The cinematography, performances, locations, and story grab your heart and give Inspiration to anyone that fight daily to overcome the worst obstacles. I can't wait to see more from this fine actor!
Sue me, I don't like any movies with preachy religious undertones, and especially not overt ones like in this.
I'm sure if you are a christian you'd love it.

The story, performances , music , Narration and everything straight to the point, Inspiring, emotional ,human strength struggle beliefs. It's an Oscar worthy movie & performances from all the actors involved in the Movie The Furnace .
Jamie Bernadette , Luthuli Dlamini true marvellous performances.
Everyone must watch it .
If it wasn't for Laura Linn, I wouldn't have seen the movie.
She gave a taste with messages of hope, strength and persistence in her goals.
Thank you Laura Linn, for showing that woman CAN AND MUST be whatever she wants, an angel, a woman, a God, with tattoo or without her acting gave voice and visibility to many people. Congratulations.
After all in the comments above, the stupid ignorance of treating the actress who brings the secret the mystery of the film for being a short-haired angel woman to the furnace? If she needs to go "to the furnace", then, my dear one, you need to go back to the middle ages, because people like you don't contribute to a better world, you spread hatred and pre-concept, you are a primitive!

While Jamie Bernadette (I Spit on Your Grave - Deja Vu) is usually known as a queen of the horror film scene, in this film, she puts her ability to convey intense personal suffering into her unforgettable character, Mary.
Mary's tribulations bring her to rock bottom and Jamie takes us there with her, each agonizing step, through loss, injury, despair and then finally, hope turned to triumph.
If you are a person who sneers at religion, this story's not for you - Mary's rise out of the ashes is enabled in no small part by her discovery of a faith that renews her and by finding a wise confidant who trains and inspires her to climb out of the darkness she's in, to find a new purpose and triumph against all odds.
"Inspirational" aptly fits this film. It's not necessarily easy to watch at times, Mary's suffering is so terribly real thanks to Bernadette's passionate portrayal.
But in the end, it's deeply satisfying and well worth the time to make the journey vicariously with Mary as she redeems herself, body and spirit.
