Review of The Faith of Anna Waters

How did they find a 35 year short man to play a 10 year old girl? 3 of the main actors in this movie must be closely related to the person who put up the money to have this film made. How else could they have gotten the part? Was driftwood not available on the beach the day of casting? Spoiler: When they say "doesn't the pain remind you of life"? Why did they have to wrestle her/it to the ground and yank on the feeding tube? Why not just grab a 2x4 piece of lumber and hit her in the face? A. Pain would have reminded her and B. Would have been why more interesting. ~A
