      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Three interconnected lives that almost connect: Elizabeth (Harper), a small-town preacher's wife who spends her time worrying about the business of others, while secretly missing her runaway son; and Grace (Hunt), now living back home with her mother, seeks to find the son she gave up for adoption so many years ago; and Mark (Pardue), a young man searching for himself as he attempts to save the Loggerheads on the North Caroline coast. A somber and moving film. (Jack Kelley)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits generally sharp images, although some smearing is evident. Colors are vivid in saturation, but are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. At times, hues can err a bit green. Minor pixelization is noticed, but there is no bothersome edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The stereo Dolby

    Reason #128 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it gets to the details I'm really interested in knowing. It doesn't beat around the bush. I love the DVD reviews and the insightful articles. Besides insightful, WSR seems to be able to put into print some of the latest breaking news in this ever-changing industry within weeks, if not days, of the original release of the news. And last but not least, I have access to the subscription website.
