I have enjoyed this simple but beautiful film from the first time I watched it on Hallmark in 2011. The writer/director had a vision he captured in poignant yet subtle ways. The cast is a true ensemble and every single actor from the youngest to the oldest contributes to the depth of feeling and pathos of this production. The carefully selected music is also an important ingredient that moves the story along. I am a person of faith and that aspect of this film moves me. As young Mel tells her siblings the Christmas story my heart was deeply touched. The gazebo scene in the park totally overwhelmed my spirit. Thank you Mr Clyde for such a sweet and touching film. God bless you.

Alert!

Just finished watching "ID Resurgence" The movie was a terrible sequel.

A film like this could have only be made by the adolescent minded who have wasted their entire lives playing video games.

It was just plain hugely derivative crap.

It's 1 hr 59 mins I can never get back.

I only hope I can forget it.

Brent! If they ask you, don't do another one!

Our early history as a nation is so ripe with stories to be told and "Courage, New Hampshire: The Travail of Sarah Pine" does not disappoint. The characters are vividly brought to "candlelight" by a gifted group of actors and a script that immediately draws us in and holds our interest. The costuming and sets are true to the period and cinematography is remarkable. The musical score is extraordinary for an independent film.

It is a story of a time gone by and of the simple trusting faith of Sarah and the redemption brought by her faith. The political intrigue of the story also offers a powerful missive… Human behavior has not changed in the last 240 years. Individuals and governments still use and abuse power to gain their own ends and desires without thought of the consequence to others.

Sarah Pine teaches us, that in spite of this fallen estate, a simple humble faith, held resolutely in the face of adversity and travail, has the power to lift us and deliver us.
