The Last Sin Eater is a story that takes place in 1850s Appalachia in a settlement community of Welsh Americans. Ten-year-old Cadi's grief over the death of her beloved grandmother, the only person who seemed to love her unconditionally, is compounded by a previous family tragedy for which she believes her family blames her. During her grandmother's funeral rites, Cadi sees the face of the village sin-eater, a person who absolves the deceased, at death, of their sins in this tiny Smoky Mountain community.
About the same time, a preacher comes to the isolated valley and camps outside the village. Through dialogue with the holy man, the young girl slowly realizes that the sin eater is false and learns of Jesus and Christianity. Cadi's baptism leads to a reconciliation with her family.
But Cadi's new found faith leads to tragedy and confrontation as the close-knit community must finally face the horrific secret on which their village was founded.

Fox Faith has released a Christian movie that is interesting, compelling, educational and yet based on the Christian faith. Michael Landon Jr. did an excellent job of directing The Last Sin Eater that appears in theaters throughout the Lewisville-Denton-Sherman triangle. Try to get to see it if you can, it's worth the 2-hour investment. I googled (is that a verb?) sin eater and found the practice was Welsh and defined as, "A person actually making his living as an outcast who eats food from the chests of the dead, taking those (persons) sins upon himself, to leave pure the departing soul. Usually each village had its official sin-eater to whom notice was given as soon as a death occurred. A groat (a small coin), a crust of bread and a bowl of ale were either handed him or placed upon the breast of the departed, and after he had eaten and drunk he rose and pronounced the ease and rest of the dead person, for whom he thus pawned his own soul."
I can tell you right now to not expect the usual. It starts out creepy — filled with historical, religious and superstitious overtones — turns into a mystery — while you puzzle out the protagonist's (Cadi Forbes portrayed very well by Liana Liberato) problem — whips back to when the Welsh first came to the Appalachian Mountains for the reason for the creation of the sin eater, throws in a romantic triangle then segues to a happy ending.

A movie about life and about death, about love and about hate, about peace and about sacrifice, about the Holy Truth, absolutely stunning and impeccable acting, extraordinary soundtrack, amazingly original script, I'm giving it my vote for the best film of the year!
I recommend this movie with all the warmth in my hearth, especially if you are a Christian and believe in God and in His sacrifice for us all!
