Guardian

Though forceful in its pro-adoption stance, the film provides little practical guidance in helping traumatised children; instead, love and religious faith become the all-powerful elixir that will cure all.

Rated: 2/5

It's your standard warm, fuzzy tale of Christian love that plays to the church set in ways that are hardly objectionable, even as it plays those notes straight down the middle with little finesse.

Rated: 2.5/4

Firing the Canon

A dedicated approbation to the work of a local religious community trying to provide families for an epidemic of orphaned children Sound of Hope is one of those elegies that means well even if that means ignoring the rougher portions of their story.

Rated: 7/10

Action Reloaded

The script may be overly simplistic, but this is a decently made biopic whose heart is clearly in the right place. If you’re looking for an undemanding feelgood drama that might make you shed a tear or two, this has got you covered.

Rated: 2.5/5

Laramie Movie Scope

The acting performances are outstanding. The story is formulaic, but it is very inspiring. It is refreshing to see a movie which champions the positive, healing aspects of faith, instead of weaponizing faith for political power and divisiveness.

Rated: B+

This was a very powerful movie. Showing both sides of foster care adoption! Not to mention when we invite the Lord and our friends and family into the hardships we go through - having a community can be really helpful during all the seasons of life. I really liked this movie!
