No Lost Cause Movie Reviews

Unexpected?

This move is less about religion than it is about faith. There are hokey lines and dialogue that’s unnecessarily forced. Some of the acting by secondary characters might be less than stellar. Nonetheless, the protagonist is convincing. She manages to evoke considerable pathos even while she rages blindly at the world. The greatest line of the movie comes at the end, but it’s worth the wait-much like an unexpected miracle.

Good themes, but that’s about it

Between the acting and the ending, I’m giving what I feel is a generous review since the themes are so well done.

The acting was horrible, to the point that it’s almost difficult to watch and of course the end is not realistic at all. It’s no surprise that Beth Ann is bitter after what she’s been through and she shouldn’t be taking it out on everyone, but once she’s saved and makes peace with everyone, God miraculously heals her and she can walk again like nothing even happened. She was told she would probably never walk again, so this is completely unrealistic. The moral of this story is supposed to be forgiveness, so I get it,but the ending ruined the movie for me. It’s basically saying that you’re only stuck in life because of your own choices or because God is trying to teach you something, and once you learn whatever the lesson is, you’ll be fully healed or get whatever you’re asking for. Most of the time, this isn’t the case and I think it goes beyond symbolism. I think a more realistic ending would’ve saved it though.

More things in heaven and earth

Caitlyn Waltemire stars in No Lost Cause as a young woman left understandably bitter by an automobile crash that has left her a paraplegic. With no other way of sustaining her now restricted existence she goes to live with her Christian dad who has never given up she’d return to the fold.

When we meet Waltemire she’s already in the wheelchair, but I get the impression she was a big party animal and a vital person. As this is a Christian film you know certain parameters must be observed.

For myself I prefer the wisdom of the Bard who had Hamlet say that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy. It’s my rule for what happens to the young woman.

It’s a most sincere effort and this cast and crew of unknowns have nothing to be ashamed of her.
