Jacob W @RT17896586 12 hrs ago This is a very underrated movie showing a completely different culture and how not only shows how they live and there way of life but how the outside world view them. For just that reason it’s still very relevant today in how still some people view different cultures and their beliefs. The story directed by Peter Weir follows what happens after a boy from an Amish Community who is his mother after a shooting a detective is called in to investigate and whilst investigating spend time with the Amish Community through the film while this plays out we learn more about this different way of life and culture. This is a beautiful film handled with care and compassion and directed really well. It is one of those underrated films that needs to be seen a real gem.

A wonderful little gem not many people talk about See more Romas M @Romas Sep 11, 2026 Greetings from Lithuania. Re-watching "Witness" (1985) in 2026 on a Arrow Video release of on 4K UHD was a blast and I can recommend it to any fan out there. This is a must for a fans of the movie, or great movie fans in general. This is one of the best films with Harrison Ford, that does look stunning on 4K UHD disk. Beautiful cinematography does looks amazing here. Colors aren't perfect, but this film has never looked better by far. Sound is in 5.1 and it is a pretty weak one, but those gunshots did sound great. But this film isn't a demo worthy in terms of sound design, nor it was intended to be. Great movie in best quality on 4K UHD by Arrow is a must. Overall, this is an old yet great film. Great thriller and character study film. See more Maarit L @Komedienne Aug 24, 2026 Nice movie. Well made. See more Timothy S. @TJSubject Jun 8, 2026 Witness rests upon a remarkably simple premise: an Amish child witnesses a murder committed by a corrupt police officer and subsequently becomes a target. At its core, the narrative is little more than a pursuit thriller, one that could arguably have been conveyed in far less time. Rather than emphasizing urgency and momentum, the film devotes considerable attention to the contrast between urban law enforcement and Amish life, as well as to the evolving relationship between its central characters. While these elements undoubtedly add thematic depth and cultural texture, they also slow the narrative considerably. As a result, the film's success depends largely upon the viewer's willingness to value atmosphere, character development, and cultural observation as much as plot advancement. Those seeking a tightly constructed thriller may find the pacing excessive, while others may regard the same qualities as the film's greatest strength.its enduring reputation reflects this division among See more Chirag P. @trini May 2, 2026 Great movie for the era made with peak Harrison Ford See more Read all reviews
