Expecting Amish

About This Movie

Expecting Amish is an interesting exploration of cultural contrast, featuring Hannah Yoder, an 18-year-old on the brink of joining the Amish Church. The film does a decent job of capturing the internal struggle between traditional values and the allure of modernity. The pacing has its moments where it drags a bit, especially in the middle, but it really ramps up as Hannah experiences the glitz of Hollywood. The performances are pretty solid, particularly the lead, who brings a genuine innocence to her role. The cinematography contrasts the serene Amish life with the chaotic energy of California, which is a nice touch. Overall, it dives into themes of identity and choice in a way that's reflective and can spark some good discussions.
