Touching Movie!!

I think this movie was very touching and sweet!! A little long, but I also know they were very detailed in every shot! It is also very accurate based on the true story of Henry Longfellow! I think the cast is decent, it does have a little bit of Pureflix acting if you know what I mean, but most of the characters were decent overall! Please note that it starts off VERY slow so just prepare yourself! It starts to pick up around halfway and is a solid movie by the end!! Overall the Sight and Sound storyline was well written! Hope to see more of their movies in the future! (Definitely a Christmas movie!)

Authentic in the best way

I knew the story of Longfellow's life and his writing of the poem before seeing the movie, so I was apprehensive about how honestly and accurately they would tell the story. Also as someone who studies material culture of the mid-nineteenth century, I was afraid that obvious inaccuracies would be permitted. Fortunately neither of my fears or apprehensions were realized. The movie honestly shows the doubts and depression Longfellow had. The sets and costumes were more authentic than most big budget Hollywood films. Details like hats and hairstyles as well as the set were all correct. In one scene we noticed a picture had been hung over a modern light switch to make the room authentically 19th century. Kudos for the accuracy and the emotional authenticity.
