REDEEMING LOVE is a powerful and timeless love story that takes place against the backdrop of the California Gold Rush of 1850. The story centers on Angel (Abigail Cowen), who was sold into prostitution as a child. She has survived through hatred and self-loathing, until she meets Michael Hosea (Tom Lewis) and discovers there is no brokenness that love can't heal. The story reflects the redemptive power of unconditional and sacrificial love with characters and circumstances relevant to the contemporary world.

Audience Says

Redeeming Love will please fans of the book it's adapted from -- and anyone in the mood for a well-acted, uplifting love story.

Mike McCahill

Guardian

This movie thinly scatters a parable’s worth of plot across 134 minutes and resembles HBO’s Deadwood recut for Sunday-school purposes: pious, puzzling and punitive, with a sternly wagging finger never far from entering the frame.

Rated: 2/5

Redeeming Love could have tried to reach a broader audience but settles for preaching to the choir.

San Jose Mercury News

"Love" might be best embraced by the faithful, but it is well made and has much to say about the healing power of love and how we all deserve second chances.

Rated: 2.5/4

Radio Times

The leads are earnest, but lack chemistry, while the script rams its points home like a piledriver.

Decider

Redeeming Love fails as both a compelling romance and an effective drama, failing to do its dazzling leading lady -- or anyone else -- justice whatsoever.

Redeeming Love left me conflicted. On the one hand, the film feels like a step forward for faith-based entertainment reaching a mainstream audience. On the other hand, Redeeming Love still has some problems.

Loved the storyline, but some of the scenes were more suggestive than I expected for this movie.

It was distressing from the beginning. It only got worse. I love Francine Rivers' writing and have read the book Redeeming Love. On screen its way to disturbing to sit through. Too much flesh and sexual explicitness for a PG-13 rating. We left after less than 30 minutes. We will not recommend this movie to our friends but will give them this less than "unacceptable" film. We did not get what we expected from prescreen rhetoric. The only thing "godly" about it is the prayer of the main character in the beginning of the show. I found no redemption in what we watched of the movie

Fantastic romance movie based on the book of Hosea. Love and grace are paramount as the kind and gentle young farmer pursues the abused prostitute. As in Hosea, the prostitute leaves her new husband multiple times and returns to the hellish environment from which she was rescued. But as grace abounds in his heart, the husband again and again pursues and rescues his beloved. I am 78 years old and this is the first movie in which I cried at the end.
