Seeing is believing but if I hadn't been told it was a true story I would not have believed it.

Movies can be a great way for faith-based filmmakers to spread "the word," whether it's about the power of God or the power of our own inner strength. But attempting to turn someone's trauma into entertainment is a huge responsibility.

Gripping and captivating while brimming with warmth, compassion and tenderness despite some preachiness, heavy-handedness and on-the-nose dialogue.

It is a film based in faith. Meaning there are definite religious overtones here. It questions whether God can be found even in the worst of circumstances in life.

4.0/4.0

Johnson tells the kind of story seldom seen in faith-based cinema and he tells it in a way that is jarringly honest and devastating.

This was an amazing account of a mother's love. The strength and courage it took for this young woman to endure the most horrific acts that a woman should never go thru.. And to come out of it with a true spirit to regain her life and be reunited with her 3 children after the years of abuse and torture.. One of the best if not THE best true story I have had the privilege of watching..

I watched this with a group of Armenian families in the theater. When the film finished, everyone gave it a standing ovation. It seemed that all were moved by this gem of a story. The acting and the cinematography were excellent and the filmmakers deserve a ton of credit for making this film using so many Armenians in the cast. Well done! 5 stars from me.
