    There is so much to learn in the innocence and faith of children. There are some good actors in it, some from Extreme Days and Christy. I loved the historical background. It is a little slow in the beginning and a little mystical for some sensitive children-but totally comes together in the end. You can have some great conversations with your children-just watch the movie first so you can explain things as you go or afterwards. There is an original "sin-eater".

    This is a good movie, but the first hour is a little slow. I was just about to turn it off and stop watching, when things finally began to get interesting enough to finish watching the movie.
