Kirpianuscus a film about faith. not great but decent. same option of drawing of fundamental transformation, search of life sense, family tension, a love story and the success who change existences and give the second chance. its best part - the dialogue. because it is the inspired option to escape from the sin of sentimental story. and gives to it coherence and some credibility. a film about the fight against past errors. and the reconciliation with yourself. sure, far to be perfect. and not always convincing. but a beautiful story. touching in few scenes, realistic in the others. useful as advise for dark state who is not unknown for many of us. more important, a nice try. to define the faith in not usual manner. to propose a character who reminds many other similar cases from every day media.and that does it a real useful show.

kierancomyn This is a movie with an obviously cynical view of prayer from the outset. The church show. In occasional take-backs appears to be Catholic, but the towns people who went to it do not. All of the "Christian" characters are played as if they were paste board mock-up of real people. All of the "Christian" characters show their ignorance at everything from relationships to Biblical facts, and lack genuineness in their prayer life and home life.The only person presented with genuineness is the the faithless and miserable Cora, in search of truth and riddled with guilt. But her language, sexual behaviour, drinking and drug taking reinforces that this film is aimed at a general audience in a cynical time, to the exclusion of a Christian audience. It presents a clichéd atheistic view of poor, misguided believers.The pace of the movie is very slow. Half way through my wife said that if it was any slower we should just turn it off. The only reason we watched it through was because we paid for the viewing. Generally an unsatisfying waste of money.

Deanna Mullins Don't know what I expected, but this wasn't it. I thought perhaps the movie would end up being a cheesy B rated comedy, but the plot was searching for depth it never found. The main character is troubled, but the peace that she looks for is not going to help her. I would think any non-Christian, atheist, or agnostic could comfortably watch this. I do not think, however, that after seeing the desperate problems the characters are facing, a person could leave satisfied with the pretense of well-being that is portrayed in the end. As she wrestles through her life problems, the main character never comes to an understanding of who Jesus really is or what can truly change her life to one of peace and joy. She is bombarded by religious looking people, who for the most part show no understanding of God. She looks for truth, and is confronted with platitudes. She looks for love and is given a parcel of unfulfilled desires. She wants freedom, but she doesn't realize that the power of believing is only as great as the power believed in.(http://christiansareus.com/2015/02/11/guilty-yet-free/) If we believe in our own fallible selves who are clearly mortal, our own faith is fallible and mortal to. So again, sadly disappointed with this theme and plot.

aliceolsen Firstly, this is not just for religious people, as a atheist, I really enjoyed this film. Brittany Snow displays such emotional depth and a great character. She told the story so beautifully, I, a usually emotional robot, was brought to tears. The score, also, so wonderfully aides the telling of this emotional roller-coaster.Deeply relatable, anyone may see a part of themselves in one of the characters. Even if just slightly, with themes of guilt, love, depression and that human need to feel good. A superb film that is heart warming and wrenching at the same time.I think that there is room for a sequel, further analysing Cora's family breakdown and the effect of his mother's injuries on Chase. Everyone involved with the project should be applauded. Slight criticism is that it is short, this may be budget but it is still a great film.
