Disappointing

[EmmaNelly · 5/10 · 12 December 2021]

You knew he would get caught up in some foolishness but this movie makes it seem like everyone in leadership in the church is grimy and that's not true. I don't like these kind of movies where the focus is so negative and there's a lot of sleeping around. A shame because it could've been better.

Nice movie! But kinda predictable

[jasminecole · 7/10 · 11 May 2021]

The movie it's self is nice. Good acting and beautiful music but some parts were quite predictable. Overall B-

I love the cast but...

[yeshtanke · 5/10 · 9 April 2022]

The movie itself was a poor representation of the church, nobody is perfect, yes but it was obvious from the beginning that their father made some mistakes that wasn't properly addressed later, a man of principle?? We did not see that...the movie felt rushed at the end because of the length and too much emphasis on some scenes.

I love the cast though, Rotimi embodied the role...and Jonathan McReynolds, for a rookie, he did well or maybe I am just bias cos I love him😊.

Mockery of the True Church

[handymonica · 3/10 · 7 May 2021]

All church's do not conduct themselves like this It truly grieves me to see producers/Hollywood who are so far from the truth to continue to write movies about dysfunctional churches full of ungodly pastors and hypocritical members. I'm disappointed😞

Good representation of real life!

Church folks are not perfect. This movie gives an excellent dose of reality. My only problem is the length of the movie. It needed two episodes - 4 hours total as opposed to two. It seemed rushed. With this being produced by Rotimi, I think they could have allowed him to develop the story more.

The pacing was too fast amongst other things.

The premise of this movie was catching, and I enjoyed the setup. However, the pacing sorta threw me off. It felt rushed. I dont mind if a movie is 2 hours considering its okay to do.

I still felt I was giving introductory information. By the time we were to understand the characters, scenes and other parts, the movie ends.

I really disliked how the pastors character didnt have enough backstory to give us reasons for his treatment towards his sons. It is evident he had issues from unfulfilled dreams and other things.

Some of the acting felt cookie cutter its like okay that is expected and predictable.

Overall I enjoyed watching the movie and I just wish they would take their time and not rush it.

For Anthony Evans character "Royce" in the beginning, I felt it was the same person...Anthony.

But when we get further into it I feel Royce.

This Line Explains This Movie

[christophermiles-30657 · 3/10 · 7 May 2021]

"How can you forgive a God you can't see, but can't forgive your brother who you do see?" Every church doesn't have all these things happening in it.

Great Movie Awesome Talent!

[info-11303-91111 · 10/10 · 7 May 2021]

This is a real plot full of drama they sure did deliver! Please keep in mind these people are actors so if you felt some type of way with lots of emotions then they all did an EXCELLENT JOB!

I enjoyed the movie and will recommend it!

Could've been longer

[fahughes-22083 · 4/10 · 21 July 2021]

I love Jonathan Mcreynolds!! Love his music, watches his lives, follows him on everything ❤ I genuinely felt like this movie could've been longer and told more about itself than what was shown. Some lines were very predictable.

Best Christian Movie By these two Giants

[danielngogo · 9/10 · 6 May 2021]

We see Rotimi in this Movie playing this role in his best performance with Jonathan McReynolds i suggest you watch this out.

Okay movie. Very bad lighting.

[phelpsa-28371 · 4/10 · 9 May 2021]

Seems the lighting issues could have been fixed in post-production. Robin Givens....do better.

Worth your time- Great Performance

[bmandela · 10/10 · 10 May 2021]

Did Jon Mcreynolds just act? I loved it. Its a great movie!

Loved it!

[tamigirl1968 · 10/10 · 6 May 2021]

This was good! I really enjoyed it. Jonathan McReynolds did great with his part. And of course Rotimi did as well.

Good movie

[favoredsis · 10/10 · 11 May 2021]

This was a great movie, full of faith, learning experiences and love.

Nice Movie

[charlesnleya · 8/10 · 7 June 2021]

Great clean movie. Great watch, loved the story line. Lip Sync was poor though.

Great movie. BUT..

[mzefabulous · 8/10 · 24 April 2022]

The movie was good, but it hard to watch the father control his kids' lives, it was hard to watch at times. Should have been a 2 part movie because it kind of long, but it's worth watching.
