Pastor Reinke is an amazing man. I was impressed with his courage to stand firm in helping people. He is a man of great compassion, love and forgiveness. I was deeply saddened by his choices at the end of the movie and I would hope and pray that those traits he shared with others he would give to himself, especially forgiveness. If God forgives then he must forgive himsrlf. He is not greater than God.

This film is definitely not your typical documentary where certain highlighted persons will mostly succeed in their endeavors. As a matter of fact, as it progressed it turned darker and darker eventually leading to some real shockers at the end. The movie centers on the tireless efforts of 57-year-old Pastor Jay Reinke, of the Concordia Lutheran Church, in Williston, North Dakota., as he tries to run and keep open what has become known as the Overnighters program. Thousands of people have been flocking to Williston to find jobs and the promise of extremely high wages in the then booming oil fracking business. However, many make the journey with little or no money and no place to live. Thus, Pastor Reinke organized the Overnighters program to give these people temporary sleep areas on the church floors or in their cars on church property, believing this is the Christian thing to do by helping others. He will face, though, rising opposition from neighbors, city government, the city newspaper, and even his own congregants. Eventually, we will see things begin to fall apart not only with the program, but with the people that have been chosen by the filmmakers to follow. Finally, I won't reveal it but we get a real shocker as the film nears its end, that I certainly did not see coming. In summary, this documentary, directed by Jesse Moss is, as mentioned, not your typical film of this genre, and left me at the end feeling quite unsettled and sad.

I didn't find this all that interesting until revelations and turns in the story midway. It is rather sort of fascinating the film just started off sort of maybe having this figure in high regard, and then switching that around when we have to come to terms with the question of how likable or unlikable the primary figure is. Those are always the most interesting documentaries, and this seems to ask a lot of those questions in that regard.But the film still holds slow spots at times, and the ending leaves a lot to be desired. It's also rather uncomfortable to watch at times, since I felt like the primary figure did a lot of good but personality-wise also could be quite difficult to stand.

There's little intriguing about The Overnighters' premise. It's director Jesse Moss' execution that makes it much more compelling than it ought to be. Conflict is around every turn, both external and internal, and the documentary is constantly batting back and forth the balance in its moral dilemma. Both sides to its argument are equally strong - the good in helping those in need and the anxiety about the trouble some may bring, and few have already. Either way, it doesn't sit comfortably. Moss has a brilliant energy to the film and although it feels slightly orchestrated, in the way that he captures confrontations at the right time and ferocity without missing any key examples, he has a great taste for cinematic conflict. They really work, and they must feed into some kind of reality at least. What makes it such a rich film is that amongst the chaos, it centres around a character study of Jay Reinke. He's selfless, but narcissistic. While many may find him repelling, he's the dark heart of the film. It's a fascinating piece that's deeply flawed and human, never holding back the ugly side or shoving it in your face. One of the best documentaries of the year. 8/10

I'm not a religious person by any means, but half-way through seeing this, the movie almost starts to rope you in. Pastor Jay Reinke of Concordia Lutheran Church in Williston, ND seems to be practicing what he preaches. He does so by helping those arriving in town for work due to the state's oil boom with accommodations in the church or church parking lot- and sometimes even in his home. Some of those arriving in town have felonies in their past, and Reinke even lets them live in his house with his children nearby, so I kept expecting something to happen. But what does end up happening (not to give anything away) was quite a shock- and ultimately made the film for me. Whether you're religious or not, I really think you can get something out of this, even if just a lesson on being non-judgmental, and helping your fellow man...

FYI: If you wish to review a better review than mine, I highly recommend the LA Times review. Also, as noted by many critics, this is a great film for fans of the Grapes of Wrath, but it is way more than this. It's the humanizing act of the filmmaker, such as the small talk between the overnighters and especially the scene in the credits. It's the fact that he transforms these faceless people whom the town fears to people that the audience enjoys is what is so astounding. When people disagree with Pastor Reinke's plans, you feel for the overnighters and him. As a respected pastor, it is hard to imagine how quickly the townsfolk are turning against him. He tries to make you feel for them as much as the Pastor, even if you are not one who thinks "love thy neighbor" or anything related. My single complaint is that for a very brief time, the movie moves a bit too slow. But then right afterward, there is a breakneck pace that sets up for the films conclusion, one that you might not like but has to be shown. Outstanding documentary. 9.4

Forget for a moment that this is a documentary and see this wonderful movie. There are amazing and unforgettable characters, heart wrenching situations, plot twists and a surprise ending... Everything you could hope for in a movie, made only more poignant knowing that these aren't actors but real people. Desperation, hope, salvation and damnation are all interwoven and you won't know which will come out on top until the end. I can't remember the last time I saw a documentary that was so engaging. The film centers on Pastor Reinke, who helps the often destitute folks who find their way to his town looking for work, with a place to stay for the night and a bite to eat. We also discover his own demons and limitations. I hope people will ultimately see him in a positive light as I do, for we all fall short of perfection, but director Jesse Moss doesn't push it one way or the other. The film is timely as it forces us to confront many current issues, including the effects of the new energy boom, the lingering effects of job displacement after the great recession, xenophobia, and the ongoing need to help others. See it, you won't be disappointed. It was among my favorites at the Three Rivers Film Festival.

I was expecting to be uplifted by an amazingly inspiring story of compassion and action. Instead I was left depressed and quite disturbed. It deed leave a clear distinction of how not to pastor and lead a church and how you cannot be a lone ranger in Christian ministry; this kind of ministry is on the front line of spiritual warfare - our battle is never against flesh and blood. The film did not depict a great zeal for prayer and seeking God's guidance, the pastor even told us that his biblical reading is very one dimensional. Was I inspired? Most definitely not! The poor, poor wife of this man, to be told on camera, in a very public place of his own massive sin issues. What a terrible film/documentary!

This documentary is gold. As the ending titles begin, you may feel that your world will never be the same. If you were raised and possibly scarred from your small, primarily Christian hometown, this film will especially hit home (pun intended). I watched it with my boyfriend. We were both left questioning our existence. I think they call that thought-provoking. Following are samples of my own questions. My boyfriend was left with many more questions of his own. Where is the balance between Christian love and Christian judgment? Must there be an 'us' and a 'them'? Is doing good for others in essence a selfish act? Do we recognize others' needs and fulfill them just in part to be recognized ourselves? Is the need to feel needed just the need for attention or recognition? Is it narcissistic to think we can bring positive change in others' lives? Must we realize how small we are and what our capabilities are in fulfilling others needs? When can we feel truly fulfilled in the small, local, sometimes unrecognized but integral good we do? How can we feel validated in the good we do for others without applause? To me a great film is not necessarily one that leaves me with questions. A great film is one that does not leave me for many days. This film will surely have me thinking for a very long while.
