"The best film I have seen about Joseph Smith. Thank you!"


"I love this film. Even though I am a member of the Church and familiar with the story, I was overwhelmed and grateful that the director handled the subject matter so beautifully. I felt as if the film was made for me and the strengthening of my testimony. Thank you!"


"An impressive piece, that gives an almost intimate look into Joseph's life, his challenges and his great work."


"I am newly 'converted,' and I now have a stronger testimony. Thank you. Great missionary work!"


"I felt as if I was there. It was just as I imagined it, when reading the scriptures. I didn't notice the time pass."


"No film has touched my life as much as Plates of Gold."


"I learned a lot of new things about Joseph Smith and the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. My gratitude for Joseph Smith has grown."


"It's hard to take the Book of Mormon for granted after watching this film."


"Wonderful- my husband is not a member and he was very impressed. The film was very well acted, touching and full of suspense. Everything I expect of a good film!"


"I was so touched that I went home and emailed all my friends about this film."


"Joseph Smith was very well portrayed and had the right balance of earnestness and humor."


"The film was perfect. I have nothing more to say."


"It is simply marvelous to experience such a film in a theater setting with other church members."


"Very well made! To experience this chapter of Joseph's life from a different perspective was inspiring and gives me strength not to give up. Thank you for this uplifting experience."


"I really enjoyed watching such an inspiring film in a movie theatre. I loved getting to know the young Joseph and his life better."


"It was very touching to watch how Joseph Smith became a prophet. When I read the Doctrine & Covenants and the Book of Mormon, it now has a whole new meaning."


"My children (15 and 11) loved the film and that says a lot!"


"One of the best films I have ever seen."


"Thank you so much for an uplifting and beautiful evening. I especially appreciated the scene with the three witnesses. It reminded me of the first time I consciously felt the Spirit of the Lord."


"The film makes me want to read the scriptures."


"When I taught D&C 121 to my seminary class the next day, I was still deeply moved by the film, which gave the chapter a whole new meaning. This impression and the feeling of gratitude for the Prophet of the Restoration means a lot to me."


"I thoroughly enjoyed it. Knowing that Joseph and Emma had to endure so much, even though they wanted to do the will of the Lord, makes it easier for me to have patience in adversity."


"I wish more films like this would be shown."


"I really enjoyed the film and am impressed how historic facts are incorporated in the film. I would show this film to investigators."


"The film allowed me to go back in time and to better understand what Joseph Smith went through. Now the Book of Mormon has an even greater meaning to me than before."


"I came with my wife and 4 children and will gladly attend any additional future screening."


"I was very touched and felt the Holy Ghost."


"Too bad I didn't invite friends. Really a shame."


"I went with my seminary students- appropriate for this year's D&C curriculum. This kind of film conveys the material so much more effectively than any historic account or lesson."


"I believe the film has the power to reach those that are critical of Joseph Smith."


"Anyone who has heard the name of Joseph Smith should see the film to experience what kind of person he was and the spirituality that accompanied him."


"I had a non-member friend with me. I am so grateful for people that work so hard to edify amd teach others."


"Excellent. A must-see film."


"I am an inactive Mormon and thought the film was inspiring. It gave me the feeling of the 'Holy Ghost,' something I have not felt in a while. Now that either has to do with the excellence of the film or the truth of its content..."


"It was wonderful to watch this film with my children and to get to know Joseph Smith more personally."


"I was very impressed with the sensitive manner with which the individual characters were portrayed, the excellent acting, the subtle humor in between scenes full of drama and the way deep emotion was conveyed."


"The movie strenghtened my testimony of the importance of revelation and of faith in the Lord no matter what happens. Emma showed that we don't have to see things to have faith in them and know they are true."


"I wish the film would be shown again, since I was not able to invite anyone the first time."


"I was impressed how well Joseph Smith's life was portrayed. My testimony of his mission and the value of the Book of Mormon was strengthened."


"Wonderful portrait of the Prophet."


"It was amazing! After the screening I went to dinner with 2 visitors that I had invited that were not members. They were both favorably impressed which made it possible for me to bear my testimony the rest of the evening. They wanted to attend any addtional screenings. We discussed the individual scenes form the film. We all felt the director was fantastic."


"Great research!"


"I was touched and inspired. Now I look forward to the DVD, so I can watch the film again."


"My personal testimony of Joseph Smith was strengthened."


"A touching true story. After watching the hardships involved in bringing forth this work, it made me contemplate my own dedication."


"This film should be shown in every Institute Center."


"It was so worth seeing! I am now totally motivated to learn more about the early histroy of the Church."


"A must-see for Mormons."
