Summary: Great Eye Candy
Review: As the director of this movie, that was poorly distributed it is very reassuring to read the reviews. For the viewer in Tennesse that asked about Peter...he plays the Reverend...the man who intially set up the marriage and who comes to the jail in hopes of saving the soul of Annie Herron. If you are curious about this story read the original short story called Wilderness Station by Alice Munro - one of our finest. AW

Summary: Brendan Fehr's talent shines
Review: Brendan Fehr shows his versatilty as an actor in this movie. He made his character so believable that even I, a huge fan, felt an enormous dislike for the character Simon. And his accent was right on. The movie itself was extremely well done and my heart ached for Annie. It makes you wonder how many women and young girls went through this kind of situation back then.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Could someone tell me what role Peter Wingfield played?
Review: Does the acting world not realize what a gem they have in this man? If you do not remember him, his most famous fole was that in Highlander: the Series and Highlander: Endgame.

Anyway, I am extremely curious to know what capacity he played in this particular film? Thank you to anyone who could repond.

Summary: Brendan is 'Fehr' ahead of many young actors today
Review: Having recently seen the highly impressive Brendan Fehr (TVs 'Roswell') take on the acting roles of a Vampire-hunter ('The Forsaken'), a man with no future ('Final Destination') and, just this week actually interviewing him for his role as a biker ('Biker Boyz'), to see him stretch his acting talents into something as period-based, and as ruggedly-biting as 'Edge of Madness' was a pleasure beyond all emotions. His permanently-angered portrayal of an unloving, uncaring, yet extremely hard-working husband out in the wilderness of yore is an acting talent at its most recent finest. Anne Wheeler as the unlucky youthful new bride is quite brilliant also and as the film gently slides back and forth through a series of flashbacks, you slowly get to realize that she too has undertaken a sizeable role here and come up trumps also. Slow in places, yet scenic at all times, the acting is outstanding and the resulting conclusion - although hardly disguised - is at least one that leaves you without regret. (www.[addr])

Summary: Beautiful Film
Review: I just watched this film and was amazed by the acting as well as the directing. Anne Wheeler does a wonderful job in capturing the beauty of the Canadian Wilderness in the 1800's. The acting in this movie is superb. Caroline Dhavernas, who plays Annie Herron, is an amazing talent and her performance in this film was wonderful. The violence in this film was tastefully done, if that is even possible. Brendan Fehr, who plays Annie's angry and abusive husband, did an excellent job. You really dislike this guy and want him to suffer the way he makes those around him suffer. I am from the U.S. and knew nothing about this film or the short story it was adapted from until I started researching the work of Caroline Dhavernas. I recommend this film, it's beautifully put together.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Story and Fabulous Actors
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was filmed close to the town where I live, and many times when we are driving across the Prairies I wonder what it would have been like to be a settler and come unprepared for the miles of nothing- especially in winter. This movie depicts the hardships and trials of settlers with harsh reality.
There are many journies taken in this movie, and the characters mold, shift and change with their gaining of knowledge and experiences in the wild.
The acting is exceptional. Cory Sevier and Caroline DeHavernas both do a fabulous job of maturing their characters throughout the movie.
There is not a lot of flashy hollywood stuff , just a really good story portrayed in a realistic way with emotion, a simple setting, fabulous characters, and a great cast.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great
