We got the worst seats in the theatre only because the group in front of us was 7 people. The theatre is running 10 showings daily since it opened, and they are all almost completely sold out. Several groups that couldn't get seats together bought tickets for later showings. There are several theaters nearby that are showing multiple times daily. During the movie the crowd was so quit you could have heard a pin drop. Great movie, be sure to see it and tell your friends.

How hard is it to take watching this movie? I know everything that is going on (well, what we all know at this point, I'm sure there is more). Would you say it is depressing? I'm trying to decide if I want to see it. I'm easily impacted by visuals. I am so on the fence. TIA
how to put this... It will have you crying and shook, but it doesn't depict gore or torture. You don't see the abuse but you are left with no doubt as the camera pans away what is about to/has happened. It's not over the top, its just enough to make the point. You need to see it, everyone needs to see it. You can do it, put on the armour of god and be brave.
My fiancée can’t stomach this stuff so she became a monthly donator to OUR instead.
I think people are over reacting when describing the visual impact and making people scared... I think your fiancée could handle it. It's not what you see so much as what's implied that turns on the waterworks. If you have an awareness of the issue of trafficking already, your stomach is already prepared so to speak.
They did an excellent job of telling you what happened without SHOWING it. Caviezel said in an interview that one of his requirements was not putting anything in the production that would turn on a pedophile.
I was told to take tissues, but I wasn't tempted to cry. It made me mad. And resolved. God's Children Are Not For Sale. God bless Angel Studios for making sure this made it to the public.
The movie doesn't linger on anything for very long. It's all things we know and does a good job of telling the story without traumatizing the audience.
