steven-46-208086 One of the most heartfelt films I have ever seen. Right from the beginning, the film was beautifully shot and continued to the end.I also connected right away with all of the characters and enjoyed all that they provided throughout the film. I was so awaken with such gratitude of joy, sadness and spirit from all involved in the film. The writing throughout was heartfelt and touch me in ways that I need to thank all involved. All of the characters seemed to be dysfunctional, except for Joey ( the youngest member of the cast). The relationships between the characters were all connected in many ways and reminded me of those many moments in my life.Thanks to all involved. One of the best films I have seen in a long time.

brandonfoster05 I wasn't sure what to expect when I sat down to watch Among Ravens. I had seen the trailer and was intrigued by the idea of "Ravens" as a symbol of family and it had been quite some time since I had seen Amy Smart in a film. Let me just say, I was pleasantly surprised and thought the film was completely delightful. Filmed in the incredibly beautiful wilderness of Idaho, Among Ravens is a fun yet very emotionally compelling drama about family and human relationships. In some respects it reminded me of The Royal Tenenbaums with all its quirky characters, but with some of the seriousness and dramatic undertones of August Osage County. Overall, the performances were strong -- Amy Smart was wonderful and if you're a fan of Believe (which was sadly canceled) you will be blown away by Johnny Sequoyah's performance. If you're looking for something different, filled with real heartfelt emotion, then sit down and watch this movie.

Steph Claire This is a great film filled with beauty, complex relationships, and emotions. In my opinion, the striking cinematography and Idaho nature is what separated this film from others about dysfunctional families. I also think the raven motif carries the plot along well, especially as the ravens are related to the characters and their relationships with one another. Johnny Sequoyah's character, Joey, really stands out! She is incredibly strong throughout the movie, and her narration keeps the storyline tied together nicely. Chad, played by Will McCormack, is the other character I was drawn to. His unexpected friendship with Joey is endearing, especially as we notice that they are both outsiders observing the family vacation. Tons of great performances, I definitely recommend this film. It really does avoid clichés, and the ending is not at all predictable.

MyThumbelina I've never reviewed a film before, but have to say something about this one. Among Ravens has a beautiful story line, incredible cinematography, and the score was magnificent! I love films about real life and relationships, so this was a perfect film for me. It was funny and beautiful and sad and lovely all at once. The dialog is smart and the characters are so believable. I particularly enjoy the storyline about the life coach, and I'm sure I'm going to be quoting Hal for years to come! It's a refreshing break from transformers and car crashes. Take a date, and enjoy a movie that will truly move you! (PS I think this movie would best be enjoyed by 30-somethings.)
