Everything that needs to be said has been said in these posts..... From the insanity of religious zealotry, to the obvious need for this story to be told even if the Mormon Church denies it (Why would they not?... since lying is the order of the day for all egomaniac humans and hierarchical structures). What really stands out however, is how strangely bad much of the acting, the voices of the actors, the dialog, and the music are. The core of the problem feels like it's the music. It doesn't fit anything about the movie. The music doesn't work with the timing, fit the action or complement the story line. It was amazing to feel like I was standing on one foot throughout this whole movie. The best cinematography, sadly, was the scene of the unfathomable massacre. I'm still shaking my head.
Review of September Dawn
September Dawn
(2007)
The movie should be seen, but it's a remarkably poor production.
