Guiding Emily

I have seen just about every Hallmark movie that was released since 2012. I had to do chemo two years ago and watched them all during my down time. I have opinions on them all and a list of the ones I really like.

I love the new path Hallmark has taken. The movies are no longer cookie cutter plots with different actors. Instead they have great writers giving us fun and unique stories.

Guiding Emily was a pleasant surprise. It's very well written and the actors hit it out of the park. I could feel her fear when the bandages were removed. I felt the hopelessness and loss with her. It is one of the best I've seen lately. The completely original storyline pulls you in and you feel emotionally connected and invested in characters. Of course it is a feel good romance but the journey was everything from tragic and heartbreaking to uplifting and fun. I loved the dog, Garth. I don't usually like when movies give animals human traits but I liked this a lot. I learned a lot about the difficulties of being blind too. The bathroom scene was painful to watch. I really enjoyed the romance that slowly grew and felt real and not rushed or forced. Well done everyone!
