Undescribable Perfection

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Hollywood, and a lot of the reviewers on this site, hate this movie. It reflects a conservative version of history, showing how faith affected American settlers during the 1750-ish time period. The Indians do NOT do the horrible things discussed in one "Indian Expert" review! There are no sexual situations, and it is true to history. After reading some of the low-rated reviews, I wrote down a few names and dates mentioned in the movie, then looked them up. There WAS a Fort DuQuesne in PA, and the English General Edward Braddock was killed attacking that French Fort in 1755. (Battle of the Monongahela). Regina Leininger IS buried in Stouchsburg, PA and has a marker... "Regina the Indian Captive", placed by The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). The Delaware Indians DID kidnap children of murdered settlers and used them as slaves. The Indians sold scalps to the French for the bounty they offered.Here's what is is.... the Hollywood elite could not believe the academy nominated music from this conservative movie for an award. They quickly had that nomination withdrawn to prevent this film from getting positive exposure. Even reviewers on this site who have worked in the film industry cannot understand why anybody would say good things about this movie.I enjoyed this film. The basic pretext is based upon an easily verifiable true story, and the writers did a very commendable job filling in unknown personal details. Note that one reviewer complained that the main female character was TOO good-looking for the role. Give me a break! "Alone Yet Never Alone" should be in every conservative's film library.

I am giving it an excellent not on how much money was spent, not rating actors or story line, but that when I walked out I felt that it was an excellent experience, if you go in with high hopes well,,,if you go in to see a good movie that is what you will get, I still think about this movie months later and would see it again, it was a true story and doesn't have Hollywood's slant, I felt the acting was better then good, storyline was great but no in comparison to a 50-100 million dollar movie, no, its a medium budget with a lot of solid entertainment and true meaning that's inspiring,,,wish more movies were like this one, great job

The first 30 minutes of this film is the only part worth watching. Once Kelly Grayson hits the screen, all believability is out the window. I could barely sit and watch the rest. The only tolerable actors were the extras. Miss Grayson's character somehow managed to maintain clean clothes and perfect teeth despite living in the woods with her native captors. The British General was so poorly acted as to be comical. The only redeeming quality of this film is the beautiful cinematography, and much of this is marred by poor color correction and editing. All in all, an extremely poor treatment of a very touching historical event. Don't waste your time.

I watched this film solely for the reason that it was nominated for an academy award and I had never heard of it. What this movie turned out to be was a racist ultra conservative fever dream of this time period only the acting was on par with a middle school play with about one day of preparation. I later learned that the reason that it was nominated was due to corruption in the voting process but I only hope to warn people that started with the same idea that I had, do not watch this movie it's not even laughably bad it's just painful. Also the original song isn't even that good compared to what it beat out, it's just a hymn
