Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

The Forge takes a long time creating any dramatic tension and spends too much time on cliched tropes — the addictive nature of videogames – to make its point.

Rated: 1.5/4

Battleship Pretension

Unfortunately, after years of compromise and stubbornness, these Heaven-minded filmmakers have successfully crafted a road that leads directly to a cinematic Hell.

The Michael Medved Show

The struggles in this story are subtle, spiritual, and never melodramatic, but the characters are richly portrayed and deeply engaging... you come away feeling that you know and care about these people surprisingly deeply.

Rated: 3/4

Black Catholic Messenger

“The Forge” is a Black-presenting Christian film from a group of very conservative White Christian creators about fatherlessness and respectability. I’ll just leave that there.

Rated: 5.7/10

Preachy, schmaltzy and overlong.

Culture Mix

The Forge is a pleasantly formulaic faith-based drama that tends to be preachy and mundane. However, the acting is solid, and the characters are likeable in this story about a young man who finds his identity and purpose.
