Summary: Even Better Than the First Movie
Review: The first return to Christy, The Return to Cutter Gap, was good, but Christy, a Change of Seasons was far better. When a terrible out break of tyhpoid fever hits the cove, Christy must face the reality of death and pain that comes in life. At the same time, she must deal with the resentments of her friends over her teaching certain progressive ideas in the class room. Her faith is put to the test as she must deal with loss, anger, pain, and the love she holds in her heart. Will her faith in God be enough to pull her through the difficult times? And will she be able to hang on to her friendships with the decisions she makes?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Extremely good movie of love, redemption and renewal
Review: This continuation of COTH Part 1 begins 3 months after Dr. Neil MacNeill has left Cutter Gap, TN. Christy Huddleston is seen growing ever more conflicted over her engagement to David Grantland while preoccupied with a wedding that is two weeks away. Dr. MacNeill's unexpected return to the cove further complicates the young woman's emotional state.

A surprise invitation from one of the suitors is the prelude to an impassioned declaration as the skies break into what becomes a torrential rainstorm. The risk of traveling back to the mission house in Cutter Gap necessitates staying overnight in a nearby cabin. A dramatic confrontation leads to the most revealing, emotionally bare conversations of the movie.

Stewart Finlay-McLennan gives the single best, most affecting performance of the entire movie and possibly his career in a scene that is pivotal for his character, Dr. Neil MacNeill. Lauren Lee Smith remains luminescent and vivacious in her performance as Christy Huddleston. James Waterston plays an earnest and likeable David Grantland. Lush mountain scenery, a well-written script and extremely good acting from the cast make this movie a joy for the mind and heart.

The subtitle for the movie is "A New Beginning." By the end of the movie and of the storm, the viewer sees the seeds for renewal in the lives of several characters. The potential for continuation of this classic story is well worth the effort and more than worthy of the viewer's time.

Rating: 5 stars
