gchussar-729-868598 "Angel's Perch" is an amazing film, beautifully acted, written straight from the heart. It tells a story that will resonate with many but avoids clichés. The characters are so real, you walk away feeling like you know them. Anyone who has had to care for a loved one suffering from Alzheimer's will relate to the ups and downs and struggles that this family goes through. But there are light moments as well; quirky townspeople, relationships with expertly blurred boundaries. This film makes you feel that you are actually not in a theatre, but a fly on the wall, lucky enough to glimpse into the character's lives. In a world of big budget super hero block busters, this is incredibly refreshing. Hats off to the cast and crew!

jazimm166 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.

lcbarry49 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!

Kristi Frank I just attended the premiere of Angel's Perch held in Charleston, West Virginia tonight. This truly is a beautiful, charming film. It will touch close to home if you have a family member or friend who suffers from Alzheimer's disease and if you do not, it will still move you and help you understand how hard it is to see someone you love go through such a devastating illness. It also has its humorous lines as well, so don't fret! It is not completely full of drama and lacking personality. You will get a few laughs in as well. Lovely scenery in Cass, where the movie is mostly filmed. I have been visiting Cass and riding the trains since I was a young child and continue to visit at least once a year despite living in Munich, Germany now. This is the first time I have ever typed a review about any film, but I enjoyed it so much that I had to post a comment and fully recommend it. It is hard to write a review while leaving out any spoilers so I will end it here. Be sure to see it if you get the opportunity. You will not be disappointed.
