This is a good adaptation of Francine Rivers novel. This movie also has great acting especially by Liana Liberato the girl who plays Cadi Forbes. This movie takes place with a group of Welsh Settlers in the Appalachian mountains in the mid 1800's. The group practice a tradition of having a sineater a person who comes to the funerals and takes all of the sins of the dead person on themselves. Cadi Forbes a 10 yr old girl with a heavy sin on her heart searches for this sineater to take her sins even though she isnt dead. In her search she stumbles on the Real Sineater and the hidden past of the Welsh community.

Our family enjoyed this movie so much we loaned it to our pastors and youth leaders. It is a movie that makes you think, and you will go through a lot of emotions as well from tears to laughter.

I was expecting a preachy Christian sort of movie with bad production values and a whitewashed "Christian" view of the world, but this movie took me by surprise and I felt completely wrung out by the end of it. The acting was uniformly excellent (surprisingly so!) The 10 seconds before the father rings the bell near the beginning of the movie really grabbed me, that actor did such a phenomenal job. There were a couple of SFX awkwardnesses and the girl's dresses were way too fancy for the lifestyle she led, but these details were minor and they didn't take away from my engrossment with the story. Every character was well motivated and no one was two dimensional, all evil or all good. I basically spent the last 30 minutes of the movie crying. I've never cried for that long in a movie before. Powerful stuff! I heartily recommend this movie.

Simply put, The Sin Eater is what a Christian movie should be. I have more than 2,700 DVD movies related in some way with children and teens, and this one comes in very, very near the top. One of my pet peeves is so-called Christian movies that preach their way through the story, or that try to ram Christianity down one's 'throat,' apparently because the producers think it would be their only chance to convert you. This movie is completely free of any kind of preaching. Any attempt to convert anyone is by example, not preaching.
The 'Stranger' does say a prayer, but it is done clearly to draw Cadi's attention. [He is unaware of her presence, but what he is saying peaks Cadi's curiosity about him.] Wisely, the stranger first shows genuine (and, to her, unexpected) concern about what is troubling Cadi so. When she explains that she needs a sineater now, not after she is dead, Stranger explains to her that she can let the Original 'Sineater' take that pain from her. The name of Jesus is mentioned only once, and it's only when Cadi asks if the Original Sineater had a name. In other words, he brought the Christian message to her on her terms and understanding.
Some have complained that it didn't seem realistic that the whole little society would become Christians through what a little girl brought to them. However, in 1910 a single copy of the Gospel of John fell into the hands of the Hmar people in a remote region of India, and the whole village converted, without even a missionary to teach them. See "Beyond the Next Mountain" for that true story on DVD.
Another important element of this movie is that it is quite compelling and entertaining. A neighbor watched my copy of the DVD, and he and his wife couldn't even answer the phone when it rang as they watched the movie, they were so captivated by the story. It is a very emotional movie, and many will find a lump in their throat and a wisp of tears in their eyes as they relate to the indescribable pain Cadi feels as a result of her 'sin.' Every person of religious faith I've shown this movie to comes away saying it is one of the very best movies with a (subtle) Christian message they've ever seen.
If your little girl likes this movie, I'd recommend another movie entitled "Second Chances,' starring: Kelsey Mulrooney, Terry Moore and Directed by: James Fargo. [As I write this, Amazon.com carries is, and it is available from 24 associated Amazon.com sellers.]
The Sin Eater easily comes in among the top five of my DVD collection of movies for or about children and teens.
