This is the type of film that we should be have more of. Being a true story makes it even more inspiring! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Trina B IN A NUTSHELL: This lovely film is inspired by a true story. The events happened in Michigan in the 1970s. The story is about a pastor and his family who have a goal to build a new church. A troubled carpenter becomes their unlikely source of hope, proving that faith in God is the true path to redemption, even in the most tragic circumstances. The film was written, directed, and produced by Matt Webb. THINGS I LIKED: The opening scene quickly shows you the area while you hear the small Christian fold singing by a lake to celebrate a baptism. The majority of the cast will probably look unfamiliar to you except for one: a Baldwin brother! Stephen Baldwin offers the star quality to the cast. Gabriel Solis and Reed Schwieterman are the youngest actors in the cast, just boys, and they were really great! They sang a beautiful duet together at the end. Standouts include Bethany Anne Lind, Alicia Kelley, Jeff Dernlan, and David Bianco. There’s even a character played by a Down Syndrome actor (Michael Paff). Everyone does a great job! I absolutely love the way the movie illustrates how prayers can be answered in very different ways than we had thought. At the end of the movie, we get to see photos of the real people involved in the events, along with text that tells us what happened next after the movie comes to a close. THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE: Shaky cam. I hate shaky cam. It’s a bit on the melodramatic side. It’s slow moving. Non-Christians may not understand the politics and hierarchy of the group of churches involved in the building process. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Kids will probably be bored. We see a man drink a lot with talk of alcoholism and we watch him go through rehab with lots of vomiting. Talk of death We attend a lovely funeral To see my full review, go to my Movie Review Mom YouTube channel! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
