It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This is a marvelous movie, just fantastic.It's historically accurate, inspiring, faith-building, entertaining, informational ... and most importantly, honoring to the One true God of the Bible!There are no negatives to this film at all that I can think of. The actors certainly are not Hollywood stars, but a lack of such "stars" actually makes the characters more believable. I don't want to see Leo DiCaprio playing Michael Sattler ... I want to see someone I am not familiar with play such a hero of the faith, so that I can actually relate to that man of God, and not think about how well Leo "played the part", etc.,.In conclusion, every Christian on earth should see this movie in my opinion ... and I believe everyone else would do well to see it also.

Here is the journey of a man and a woman that actively put their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ during the Reformation Era.They were used by God to lead others into the practice of adult baptism. That was contrasted to infant baptism. They were called Anabaptist.This practice was violently opposed by the leaders of the church and the state.They continued amidst persecution, suffering and ending in death as martyrs for their faith.This movie makes personal and real a critical season of church history.

As a Mennonite, this has to be my favorite B-movie: appropriate for a simple-living faith! Apart from the geek-chic factor of the intimidating Eberhard Hoffman being played by Spock's dad, the film captures the emotional appeal of Anabaptism: an earnest desire for religion without worldly politics woven in, their temptation by and rejection of violence, the persecution from both Catholics and Protestants, the romance of simple living.I'm no film student, but I think the romance between Michael Satler and Margaretha is touchingly developed, and the dramatic opening sequence where Hans Blaurock and friends march through the snow to arrive just in time to try to stop an infant baptism adds an amusingly ironic touch of Hollywood.But don't expect to find the movie theologically persuasive

An excellent movie about the lives of the Anabaptists - Michael and Margaretha Sadler. Michael was a monk and Margaretha a nun - they both left their religious orders in search of a New Testament faith. Their brief marriage was terminated when Michael was burned at the stake and Margaretha was drowned. Christian film all should see.
