Masterful Cinema

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Each time I watch this film, I find something new. This important story about abuse and taking back your power even when the odds are against you is fabulously acted and deftly directed!

It's incredibly intense, so definitely buckle up and have a light-hearted comedy queued up to start right after - but if you're looking for a tough, important story that's incredibly well-told and crafted, definitely check this one out and spread the word. Thornton turns in what should be a career-making performance and Cathy Curtin's no slouch either. Laura Bell is outstanding if not a little underused, leaves you wanting even more of her.

Beauty Mark has left a lasting impression on me - the way I view the world today versus before I saw the film. Yes it stirs all of the emotions. It is sad, funny, unbelievable but true, makes you mad, makes you feel helpless and then it thrills you with relief. You could hear a pin drop throughout the entire film. It touches your heart, your mind and your soul. I was not the only one touched - everyone I talked to afterwards had something good to say about the film. The script is intriguing. The actors and actresses are professional and life like. And overall it is a MUST and NEED to see FILM.

Having lived in the area where Beauty Mark was filmed when I was a child, the film really touched my heartstrings as it was spot on about the sacrifices one makes for their family and the abuse that is prevalent. Harris Doran did a fantastic job writing and producing the film. The casting of Auden Thorton, Catherine Curtin, Laura Bell Bundy and Jeff Kober added to the awesome performance. It provides encouragement for victims of abuse to speak up. This is definitely a "must see".
