Good message - gotta forgive ourselves and others. Writers/actors true to their beliefs without gagging me with them, and without the bad acting, writing, and directing often found in a "Christian" movie. There is hope. Liked the authentic skating and real skaters. It could have been shortened up, paced-up in spots - we get the angst without dragging it out quite so much. Yet it doesn't short-sell or oversimplify the pain of the situations that a lot of young guys, absentee fathers, and single moms deal with. That's life for a lot of people, we don't just get over it like society tells us to. Movie doesn't rely on gratuitous sex or violence to sell itself,which is nice to see for a change.
