    Thanks!

    Looks like a pretty good movie. They have obviously had some help from ex-dubs making the movie i piched up some phrases thay only insiders are familiar whith. They have made one mistake though -- one of the elders wears a beard.

    In some european countries beards are allowed. I know for a fact France in one of them, not sure about Denmark though.

    I think it's going to be a good movie, from the clips I've seen. It is also a movie that will unfortunately not be watched by JWs, unless they're already on the fringes.

    One thing I could wish was different, would be that the main character didn't fall in love with a non-JW, but instead began to have doubts and researched those doubts and disassociated her/himself because of what he/she found. But obviously, that scenario wouldn't be as popular for a movie. It's just that by having the girl fall in love with a non-JW, it's easier for JWs to dismiss it, as they are already convinced that the reason people leave is because they are "overcome by lust" and just "have to sin" in some way or another. And that's just not the case. I'm living proof of that.
