There were a lot of corny moments to this movie, but overall it was a really good film. I'd imagine the low critic rating is because of the pro-life aspect, but this is a very enjoyable and touching movie. Yes, there are moments to roll your eyes at, but as a whole, this movie worked.

Quirky and really good. John Schneider plays the control freak dad well. Deals with the movie topic well.

As a Christian believer~I think this is probably the best movie I have seen on Pure Flix. The acting is real, the topic sensitive but it is full of the Spirit, full of love and honesty, integrity, complex relationships and sorting out difficult, challenging feelings. But it was done beautifully. It's for a more mature audience and I am not going to elaborate further. I will touch your heart and soul! ❤ That said, worldly people won't 'get it'. (jmo)

I loved the purpose of the movie which was to teach us to forgive those who have hurt us. This movie is very close to my heart. An Original and very valuable lesson.

The filmmaking is lugubrious and heavy-handed, and the dramatic arc stagnant and airless.

"October Baby" looks and feels like a Lifetime movie waiting not to happen.

A film that wears its faith on its sleeves yet leaves enough room at the table for all who choose to join in.

Rated: 3.5/4.0

The Erwins get the biggest thing right: telling Hannah's story-and just Hannah's story-simply and sincerely.
