I live in central Pennsylvania surrounded by Amish people. I put this film on because I thought it was a true story. It is not. The actors are terrible. They do not sound, look, or act like real Amish people. Please don't watch this thinking it's a documentary or a learning experience. All you will learn is that the Amish are very misunderstood by the people that made this horrible film.
Listening to these actors talk was hilarious. Amish people talk with thick "Pennsylvania Dutch" accents when speaking English. They could not sound anymore unrealistic.
The Amish do not dress the way these people dress. They have strict rules about their clothing and bonnets, as well as their hairstyles and men's facial hair. This film is not even close.
The filmmakers really needed to do a lot more research before trying to make this film. They should be embarrassed.
