Best movie ever!
TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Set in beautiful southern landscape & picturesque small town scenery this is quite a different movie from what you see all the time. It's not loud or fast... rather introspective & with a lot of subtlety. It makes you take a break from hectic daily life for a moment & reflect. The story is told in a very soulful way laced with heartwarming southern charm and humor (Ally Walker - brilliant). Most importantly, it's a very real glimpse into the reality of Alzheimer's Disease in a way that I wasn't familiar with & found very profound. The humanity shown throughout the movie is touching & refreshing at the same time. Well worth watching. Thumbs up !

This is a beautiful example of a film filled with old time values. It is admirable how Jack, a young adult, finds a way to do the right thing when his big break is dangling right in front of him. He struggles with balancing a demanding career, his personal issues and dealing with the trials of taking care of his Grandmother who is battling Alzheimer's. Each main character has a strong personality that finds viewers whispering, "I know someone like him or her". There are a few hidden twists that viewers are not aware of until well into the movie. The movie is so well written, that one is left wanting more when the film ends. J.T. Arbogast managed to capture the full array of feelings that family members experience when dealing with a relative with an awful disease.

Saw "Angels' Perch" at the cinema last evening after following the production and filming online for months. It was set and filmed in Cass, WV, with a few scenes in Pittsburgh. The theater was full and one heard sniffles and belly laughs both, during the showing. Gathering in the lobby of the theater after, it was obvious that we didn't want the experience to end.I'll only give you the story line set-up: Jack is making a name for himself as an architect in Pgh, PA. Nana, his devoted grandmother, lives alone in Cass, WV where Jack grew up, and is beginning to show symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Jack returns to Cass to make arrangements for Nana's care, with a make or break project presentation due in Pgh in one week. You'll have to see it yourself for...the rest of the story. What you will see and feel is the true personality of West Virginia and her people captured in this film. There are no caricatured hillbillies, no "Deliverance" types or mudding' scenes....just real people and some of the characters were played by real residents in and around Cass. Don't miss it! Ask your local theater for a showing. You will not be sorry! Excellent movie!Thank you for this story, JT Arbogast!

Almost heaven...the beauty of the West Virginia mountains and the Greenbrier River are the perfect backdrop for this pure love story. Polly or Nana as her grandson Jack calls her, loves her home and wants to stay there despite the beginning stages of Alzheimers. Jack loves his grandmother and has to face that her life is changing. Only someone who has walked the path with a family member with Alzheimers could have written a movie so infused with love, laughter, and tears and not make it a tragedy. Grandparents and grandchildren have a love story all their own and this movie is surely a testament to J.T.Arbogast's love for his grandmother. Arbogast brilliantly used the historic town of Cass WV to illuminate the story that confronts mainstream America on a daily basis. Excellent acting and surprises in the plot keep the story from becoming predictable. I would recommend this movie to everyone.
