An achingly raw and tender portrait of two spiritually isolated individuals for whom the laying on of hands is a surrogate for some desperately needed human contact.

Superb, skin-prickling performances by the three principals contribute invaluably to the pic's stern believability.

Mahaffy's uncompromising approach, and the quality of its performances, make [Free in Deed] a rare and valuable testament: to the terrible danger of believing in miracles, and to the cruelty of a world that might make such belief necessary.

The remarkable thing about Free in Deed is that it's not preachy.

An ambitious, frequently heartwrenching tale of faith and the elusive search for understanding our relationship to the divine, featuring an excellent ensemble cast and all put together on a shoestring budget. While the film could have used some judicious editing to eliminate some narrative redundancies, this fact-based drama is otherwise gripping and engaging, even if a bit hard to watch at times. The answers we seek in life aren't always easy, but they often surprise us, taking us in unexpected directions and delivering results that don't necessarily match the form of our hopes but that invariably embody their essence.
