I have to admit that I usually like to read the books first before I watch a movie based on a book. But when I watched The Confession, I was really drawn into the story. I don't know much about the Amish or the genre of Amish literature, but found this movie to be be quite entertaining. It had love, suspense, family relationships in various forms and drama, all wrapped into 88 minutes of entertainment. This movie is the second in a trilogy. I loved that the movie was quickly paced, the story unraveling fast while maintaining the suspense and intrigue. I really disliked some of the characters and wanted to yell at the screen because of their deceitful doings and downright shameful behavior. I loved other characters for their tenderness and honesty and care. This movie was beautifully acted and the emotions of the characters jumped from the screen. This was a great adaptation from book to movie. I can only imagine how good the book was based on this great movie. I rate it 4 stars!
