The Wedding Veil (2022)
Full of heart and laughs
This film brightened my day and had me smiling all the way through. Electric chemistry between the leads and witty dialogue as the idea of fate is woven through effortlessly. This film represents the best Hallmark has to offer in that it leaves us feeling better about the world, and hopeful about love! The follow up films that made the trilogy were complete gems as well! (Spoiler alert - I was very disappointed with the films that followed, specifically Wedding Veil Inspiration and Wedding Veil Journey. They didn't land at all and felt sappy, so save your time and skip these) Who doesn't want to curl up with sweet and funny movies about love, commitment, friendship and fate? Get the popcorn ready and settle in for some fabulous entertainment.
Finding Tatanka (2014)
Equal parts blown away, heart broken and riveted
My husband and I watched this last night and were equal parts blown away, heart broken and riveted. The main character is enigmatic and heroic, mystifying and naïve. His journey made us laugh at him, embrace him, hold him in high esteem as an example of an independent spirit who deeply cares about the planet and the rights of the less fortunate, a man to admire and follow. And then the circle would start again while we shook our heads in disbelief, then awe, then sadness, glued to the story the entire way.
Each chapter of his life was drawn with deep love by the filmmaker who maintained an eagle eye for honesty and truth, exposing his father's deep flaws and glorious altruisms. The editing is top notch and the use of graphics completely stunning.
It was overall a beautiful, crumbling, healing look into the truth about a father, which mirrors in some ways the complicated relationships we all have with ours, the difference being that this father abandoned his family to help others in a profound and political way.
I wasn't prepared for how hard it would grab my attention and keep it.
If someone you met in a bar told you this story, you wouldn't believe it. Seeing is believing.
