Part of the new wave of Christian filmmaking, The Last Sin Eater appeals to a broader family audience as well--and perhaps film lovers seeking, simply, more soul in their cinema. The film, directed by Michael Landon Jr., has more than a bit of homage to Little House on the Prairie as its story unfolds through the eyes of its young heroine, Cadi, a Welsh immigrant whose family has settled deep in Appalachia, bringing superstitions and rites from the Old World and melding them with those from the new. Cadi is played by Liana Liberato with gravitas and knowingness that evokes the young Anna Paquin. Cadi's turmoil begins at the deeply disturbing nighttime funeral for her beloved Granny, when a shadowy figure creeps in and chants, 'For your earthly sins, woman, I pawn my own soul!' Cadi, warned her own soul would be in peril if she looked upon the sin eater, can't help turn around and lock eyes with the wretched man. And so begins Cadi's own journey of the soul. As tragedy and evil plague the plucky settlement, Cadi is driven to understand her own life and religious choices. 'Would I have to live to be Granny's age to be forgiven for my sins?' a bleakly discouraged Cadi wonders in a voiceover. The costumes are sumptuous (perhaps a bit too much so for such a hardscrabble existence in the 1850s), as is the lovely but unforgiving landscape. Cadi's journey is rewarding, yet not at all predictably so. Terrific supporting appearances by Henry Thomas and Louise Fletcher flesh out a very moving tale. Extras include some deleted scenes, and some cool behind-the-scenes footage. --A.T. Hurley

Rating:  - movie lacks historical context
I was fine with this film until the main character said the word "Okay."
Then, later in the story, another character, the main character's father, said it over, and over, and over.
Welsh immigrants, coming to Appalachia in the mid nineteenth century, DID NOT USE this particular colloquialism!!
At that point, for me, the movie lost all credibility.
Further, I do not think, but can't be 100% sure, that bright pink would have been an accurate color ... Read More
Rating:  - The Last Sin Eater
This was a very good movie. It really showed that Jesus is the only way to forgive sin-not someone else. I would highly recommend it.
Rating: - Loved this Movie
I loved THE LAST SIN EATER. It brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. I know I will enjoy it for years to come. What an awesome message it brings to all.
Rating: - A beautiful enchanting tale about faith and trust
The last sin eater is a story about faith, hardship, love, and greed. The main character is a little girl living in a small Appalachian cove that has endured the tragic loss of a kid sister whom she blames herself for her death. She has one true friend, a boy named Fagan, whose father is a sinful avaricious tyrant. Together, with the hand of God, they set out to make the terrible sins of the cove village people right. Don't want to give away to much... but it is a beautiful story that is suitable for ... Read More
Rating: - A wonderful movie
I really enjoyed this movie. Even more surprisingly my husband enjoyed it also. We do not have small children at home but I'm sure any child over 10 would have understood the limited violence in the movie. It's dark moments were spooky not scary. This is definitely a movie based on Christianity and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is a Christian. The only thing I have to say poorly about it is that the accents were horrible. They were supposed to be Welsh but sounded like bad Irish accents. In ... Read More
