Joe Leydon Variety Schmaltzy faith-based drama isn't quite a lump of coal, but it's not a Christmas present, either. Nov 29, 2016 Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files Believe might be earnest to a fault, but it's hard to totally a knock a movie so eager to please. Rated: 6.5/10 Apr 17, 2017 Full Review Josh Terry Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Director Billy Dickson's Christmas movie means well, but a muddled story and some flawed writing keep "Believe" from achieving its goals. Rated: 1.5/4 Dec 9, 2016 Full Review Renee Schonfeld Common Sense Media Faith-based holiday drama has familiar messages, violence. Rated: 2/5 Dec 6, 2016 Full Review Luke Y. Thompson Forbes Faith-based filmmakers can still do better, but I've seen them do a whole lot worse. Dec 2, 2016 Full Review Kam Williams Baret News Although the picture is ostensibly aimed at the Christian demographic, it has a complicated enough storyline, including a love triangle and intriguing plot twists, to appeal to more than merely Bible-thumping Evangelicals. Rated: 3/4 Nov 28, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
