I watched it. It was interesting, and though I could relate to the Amish mother main character (can't remember names) I couldn't get past the fact that the Amish I've known are raised to accept things like this. If she'd been wearing English clothes and had been a modern mother in a town with an Amish community, I could have understood her reactions. But as an Amish woman she seems very out of character, at least the Amish I've been near.
According to at least some articles, I'm not the only one who struggles with the movie portrayal.

Aside from that, I could relate from an English perspective--some of her reactions, especially in the group setting and such, dealt with questions and feelings that I was dealing with in my own life at the time.
