Nevermind the bad acting, this movie is slanderous! I was born in Millersburg, the county seat for Holmes County Ohio. I have lived in Holmes and Wayne (neighboring) counties my whole life. First, there is no section of Holmes County that is strictly for the Swartzentruber Amish, as the sign at the beginning of the movie suggests. They are all over the place. I lived next door to a family of Swartzentruber Amish in Wayne County. Two teenaged boys, from the family, would use part of my barn to hide "English stuff", blue jeans, cowboy hats, cd player, and other things. They would sneak out of their house at night and "hang out" in my barn. I thought it was harmless, boys will be boys. My point is, they are no different than the English except for their religious beliefs. I didn't see a single thing in this movie that portrayed the Swartzentruber Amish truthfully. Even their buggies were wrong. These are the "plainest" of the Amish with the strongest German sounding dialect. Also the ones who take the passage 2 Corinthians 6, 17-18 , "Wherefore Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord." the most seriously. Stop telling lies, Hollywood, about good and God fearing people!
