The Shunning (2011) | Full Drama Movie - Sherry Stringfield, Sarah Maine, Willie Stratford

It proves that a film can be watchable, interesting and engaging without sex scenes, blood and gore, even worse swear words and worst of all blasphemous words. It makes it beautiful.

You might find this hard to believe, but in the summer of 1988 with permission of Mr. John Lapp (it must be a common surname) he allowed me to pitch my tent on his farmland for two weeks. Twice I ate at their table with the whole family. I was working at a nearby restaurant. I found this film difficult to watch remembering how kind they were to me. This film brought back many memories.

I would have liked to have seen her meet her biological mother. This was a good movie. Michael Landon, Jr. directed the movie and he has his Father's touch.

Michael Landon Jr directed this movie!! He's just like his father. They produced the best films !

Would of liked to see Katie's reunion with her biological mum,good movie, great acting. 😊❤

I have watched this a number of times but it still makes me tear up at the love there is between Katy and her parents. 😢✝️🙏

I understand each faith in God has its way to protect their way❤❤❤her Amish parents really loved her and that's all that is important ❤❤❤

Beautiful story. It is an absolute confirmation that the truth will truly set you free. We may not play God over another's decision and life. I love the values and morals. She will now truly be theirs forever. They will never have to fear losing her again.

This is about the reality of adoption world wide, the consequences of what happened when children weren't told of their beginnings. People shouldn't judge the Amish people and their beliefs. No one religion is perfect but they are wrong to treat her like that - the parents & the community should have been given advice too. The parents & community can't change how she feels inside. Both mums made huge sacrifices.

Father’s love for her daughter is immeasurable, but many a times underrated.

Good story. With so much evil in the world and getting worse, don’t blame them for trying so hard to keep it out. If only the rest of the world was smart enough to reject evil.

"The Shunning" was followed by "The Confession" and "The Reckoning." "The Confession" (2013) is the continuing story of Katie Lapp, a young Amish woman who goes on a journey in search of her identity - only to find herself embroiled in a mystery that must be solved before she can be reunited with the "Englisher" mother who gave her up to adoption 20 years earlier. "The Reckoning" (2015)is the conclusion to the story.

My wife and I LOVED this movie. We're obviously not Amish but in many ways, we identified with the parents.

Shunning is disgusting and away of control . All about Religion and bible study, where does it say to be so unforgiving afraid of change.

MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THIS MOVIE - FEEL THE ENDING IS INCOMEPLETE. You could have at least showed some interactions between Katie and her biological mother.

I lived in Ontario (Canada) for several years. There are a lot of Amish people around in these small villages and towns. Just like in this movie you can still see these carriages pulled by horses. I read several books about their lives. The shunning is still practiced against those who do not submit to the council of elders. But other religious groups, such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and Mennonites, have similar practices. This also happens in some Protestant churches. I have experienced similar “rejection” ( by the Protestant group) because I had a different opinion. So I understands perfectly what happened in this movie. The end of this movie showed beautifully how love prevails. Both parents finally had a strength and broke what was rooted in them... they understood their daughter and realized that the world they live in can be very cruel. This young girl decided to leave the group, I think for two reasons. She wanted to find contact with her biological mother and did not want her parents who raised her to be shunned by this group like she was. I am sure they found a way to stay in contact …,

Shunning is a cruel practice. In one of Paul's epistles, he urges that sinners be restored in a kindly manner. Thank you for this beautiful, sensitive film.

It was a lovely movie. It had all the feels, anger, hurt, love, and betrayal. But so good.

Shunning is evil, nowhere in the Bible does Jesus say we have to shun each other. The poor girl.

Very good movie. Well acted and believable. Shunning would be so hard, an eye opener. Glad her parents relented and just loved her.
