Dutcher believes that forgiveness is one of the highest manifestations of divine love. That kind of message goes a long way toward pardoning many a cinematic sin.

This upright and thoughtful film boasts a level of quality and noble purpose that Hollywood has all but abandoned.

'Mormonz N the Hood' would have been a fitting title.

Might feel like a Hollywood movie but it's clearly not. Dutcher, who also wrote the screenplay, does his share of sermonizing and clobbers the audience over the head with a spiritual ending.

Top Critic... the movie's compassionate message gives it a measure of grace ... but good intentions don't always make for a good movie.

A landmark film.."Crash" for Mormons.
11/13/05
Director-writer-editor Richard Dutcher breaks all the rules of the Mormon Cinema genre he singlehandedly launched five years ago.
11/09/05
An epic of spiritual drama in which every character is well-drawn and well-played.

By far, the best of it’s kind; and still rivaling the quality of any film in any genre.
11/08/05
An uncompromising, disconsolate pic about crises of faith.

Top CriticTo say that States of Grace takes some unexpected turns is to understate. But it also provides a lot of food for thought.
