A wonderful family movie with life lessons, June 21, 1999
By A Customer
This is an excellent family movie which teaches many wonderful life lessons and gives examples of how it is possible to have high moral standards in a modern world. This movie also shows how the Amish people live and how hard it is for them to keep their family values and traditions in a modern world. They can be an example of how us Christians should take a stand for what we believe and not be ashamed of how we feel we should live our lives. I highly recomend this movie for all families to watch together - it is extreamly rare to find a movie which has no cussing, violence, or nude scenes or suggestoins, but this is one of those rare treasures you'll want to view over & over again.

Harvest of Fire, August 19, 2000
By A Customer
Since I grew up in an area heavily influenced by the Amish way of life, I have first hand knowledge of the authenticity of this movie. However, authentic as it may be, it is also very entertaining as some real truths of life are revealed from both sides of the cultural differences. I think it was a movie with no agenda other than truth. It is a must see for anyone serious about finding peace in this troubled world. I have seen it 4 times now and am purchasing it because it has helped me re-order my own priorities in life.

Superb Movie on Amish Lifestyle, April 9, 2003
I've studied about the Amish for years and was very impresed with this film.All thoug I knew most of the information that was givin about them.I thought that the aded protrayl of the "Outsiders"(what the Amish call us Englisheres) was very good.Thoguh it might not have the same pep as Wittness did with Harrison Ford. It has more information on what the Amish go through when personal tragedy striks. The movie is like able and the protryal that Sally-Sal( Lolita Davidoich) is excelent. The Amish are strict when it comes to gender positions.As this was shown in the movie.Where the sherrif asks Sally to dress more plain and not in such a low cut beautifel two piece out fit she was wearing earlier when the first met. In fact the sheriff was suprised that Sally was sent over to Lancasater becaouse she was a women.Again another sign that the Amish still are not quite as comfterbul with wemon having more postion. Even so this is an excallent movie.It shows how Sally's almost none exsints information about the Amish grows through the film.And how she becomes friends with Patty Duke's character Annie.
