i must have seen a different film!!

hyped garbage

How sad is this?

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Here's the thing, what happened at Columbine was a tragedy. And it was inevitable that somebody would come along and try to make a movie about it. The problem is instead of focusing on the events that took place and led up to the shooting we're instead shown the life of a young girl who was killed in the tragedy. That all by itself wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing as part of this is based on her diary and what her friends said of her. They even go as far as to portray her as a normal teen who sneaks out of her house to have some fun with her friends and have her drink and smoke. But they really played up the religious angle which would be fine if it actually had anything to do with the story. The idea is that the killers supposedly asked her before she was shot if she believed in God and when she said yes, they said, "go be with him" and shot her. The problem is, nobody else was around to have heard her say this. All this story is building up to her, when being faced with death, saying she believes in God knowing it would mean her death.And yet the killers also seemed to go after those that weren't believers. This is why I say this movie has an obvious agenda. And honestly I wouldn't mind so much. Religious movies are a big thing in today's world. The problem is when they decide to play fast and loose with the facts or reality in an attempt to sell their story.

Beautiful, inspiring story of faith, devotion, and above all else, of love. Not really too much of a spoiler, but truly a heart wrenching ending. One thing I especially found refreshing is this film makes no attempts to portray the Columbine killers as anything other than what they were...cold blooded murderous maniacs carrying out their evil little acts for some demented ideology...a truly beautiful film about how one person, even after passing on, can send ripples of hope and love on forever...well done...

I love this movie, especially the artwork she did before she was killed. It also showed what led up to the shooting and the negative impact of bullying. Well done!!! I have found that some of the best movies are either true stories or based on true stories. This film really helped me see what she was struggling with. Overall a great film, I could watch this again and again.

Great story line of a girl who wasn't going to give up on her belief in God and lives and hearts were changed because of it. Truly inspirational. A must see movie for all. Spoiler Alert: Rachael was the first person shot in the Columbine High School shooting and the ending is a tribute to her and if you walk away with having shed a tear you are made of stone! Movie is for all ages but younger audiences may not understand. You will not be disappointed!
