The Letter Writer

A beautiful lullaby of a movie
Let me start by saying that I am a guy who enjoys action, adventure and good horror movies, however every once in a while I would come across a rare movie that has the ability to comfort you in a way that reminds you that you have forgotten you could feel this way. The Letter writer is one such film. The movie is simple, honest and not too complicated as a lullaby should be. The core of the story is we attract what we send out in to the world, cheat and lie and you will be surrounded by charlatans and thieves, genuinely love and care and your will be engulfed by serenity and peace. The signature message of kindness and compassion resonates through the entire film. You will be challenged not to cry at several moments during this film. The movie can be enjoyed by all members of the family from 8 to 80. No vulgarity, no violence, etc.

Highly recommend for very feel good movie.

Powerful Message After a Slow Start
When the movie starts it begins to have all of the appearance of a teen-age angst movie and is somewhat hard to tolerate but give it some time, it develops into an effective and powerful movie. This is the story of a young girl from a broken home who is trying to pick up the pieces of her life after her parents' divorce.

For awhile nothing seems to be working for her until a mysterious letter arrives in the mail one day and provokes her curiosity as to who wrote it and why it was written. The latter part of the movie is a voyage of discovery for her as she discovers not only the sender of the letter but the remarkable young girl that has been hidden beneath the surface or her life.

The final message of the movie is a message of hope and promise in the face of difficulties that try to overwhelm life. This is a worthwhile movie with a positive message and I recommend it for the family.

Inspirational
Many years ago I used to write note cards and for what ever reason stopped. This movie not only reminded me of the lives my notes touched but also reminded me of smiles brought by those who received those notes. This movie brought lives together that needed healing, love, and compassion. What a wonderful movie, filled with God's Agape love. We are vessels used by God and this movie showed not only the vessels being used but the transformation it brought. I highly recommended it to all ages.
