“My rational brain said that the series of events taking place in this movie is rather unbelievable. But while I felt slightly manipulated by this sentimental roller coaster, which has been very obviously crafted for maximum emotional impact on the viewer, I did enjoy it very much. It is a beautful story that will move you to tears. I particularly liked that despite some of the bad things that happen, itu0026#39;s still very wholesome and pro family. You donu0026#39;t get this from modern u0026quot;westernu0026quot; movies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you like emotional love stories with some sweet sadness, this movie is for you.”
