Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
... View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
... View MoreIt's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
... View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
... View MoreI absolutely LOVE this movie! I think it does a great job of showing how Mormons live day to day. And, it is such a diverse documentary, showing the lives of people who have been through a wide variety of struggles and experiences. This movie really puts Mormons out there: it shows us the lives of people who we can all relate to in some way. And, most importantly, it really is a movie about love, service, devotion, and Christ-like qualities. I recommend this movie to anyone who is looking to be and feel inspired! This movie will leave you wanting to serve your family and friends, as well as be more devoted to Christ and his commandments.
... View More"Meet the Mormons" was originally intended to be shown in Visitor's Centers (which are open to the public) on the campuses of several LDS Temples throughout the world. Church leaders later decided to give the film a theatrical release as well . . . thus the film's appearance on IMDb.The fact that it was originally an "in-house" film from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is important to understand before watching the film. It's a documentary, produced and released officially by the church to help people who are not familiar with the LDS faith or "Mormons" to understand more of what being a Mormon is really like. It also follows six inspiring life stories of Mormons who have overcome personal challenges by exercising their faith in Jesus Christ.My wife and I enjoyed the film very much. The stories are very moving, and the documentary narrative helps you get a picture of what it's like to be a Mormon in various places throughout the world (Latter-day Saints are in a lot more places than just Utah!). It's not the best film ever made, nor does it represent cinema at its most cutting-edge . . . but it wasn't meant to be. The film explores what it means to be human, and what it means to be a disciple and a follower of Christ in a global community.
... View MoreI thought this video biography was extremely well done! It dived into the lives of interesting and yet average Mormons all over the world! I say average because even though they each had incredible and unique stories, one thing in common with Mormon's all over the world is how they choose to worship. Famous or not, male or female, young or old, this video really shows how the gospel principles are the same no matter where you go! One of my favorite Mormons to follow is Lindsey Stirling. She is sharing her story tonight at 6:30 PM MST on a live Facebook event. Here's a link: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152804450076550
... View MoreI loved everything about this movie. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are Christians and aim to live in such a way that emulates Jesus Christ. This movie highlights those qualities found in the lives of those who are Mormons in a profound and moving way. I loved how the six different individuals were extremely diverse and came from all parts of the world. However, they each shared something in common---a deep testimony and love for Jesus Christ and His restored church. I am grateful for their testimonies and for how this movie made me want to be a better person. It also made me extremely thankful and proud to be member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
