Leaving Limbo (2013)

Leaving Limbo (2013). Leaving Limbo: Directed by Sandy Boikian. With Mandy Brown, Elias Cecil, David Fruechting, Luke Barnett. A young woman on the brink of a bright future whose dreams are destroyed by a car wreck that leaves her in a coma for nineteen years. Her attempt to "fix shambles" at age 38 only leads to further heartbreak.

“Young Mandy Brown is out on a double date with her boyfriend/fiancé Elias Cecil and her friend Noelle Perris and a real jerk of a kid played by Owen Williams. Williams probably got the date because he had the car. But heu0026#39;s the kind you donu0026#39;t give a car to. Showing off and generally behaving like an idiot behind the wheel he gets involved in a crash. He walks away, but the rest suffer physical injury. Lucky no one was killed but Ms. Brown spends from 1989 to 2008 in a coma. But she wakes up like she just took a long winteru0026#39;s nap in hibernation.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt certainly is a miracle because those in a long coma usually donu0026#39;t come out of it, re Karen Ann Quinlan and if they do itu0026#39;s not with all their faculties intact. Brown would like to pick up where she left off providing she can catch up on all that has happened. Locally among her set all that happened isnu0026#39;t good and she has to learn to adjust and forgive within Christian parameters because this is in fact a Christian movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI liked the story and the performance of the four accident survivors were good. All of them suffered injuries, not all those injuries were physical. Williams walked away completely, yet guilt has paralyzed his psyche and heu0026#39;s a neu0026#39;er do well journalist. Cecil lost a promising football career. Perris is the worst of all, no physical injuries, but sheu0026#39;s bitter and got into playing mind games.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eInteresting that I see this film now when there is a move to overhaul our medical coverage system and not for the better by the new administration about to take place. Unanswered in this film is the level of care given Brown and how it was paid for. I suspect that was not something the filmmakers wanted to get into.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNevertheless Leaving Limbo is a worthwhile film for the questions it says it answers and the ones like mine it inspires.”
