IHRE BEWERTUNG
Rebecca Holden and Richard Rossi in Canaan Land (2020)
'Canaan Land" is a love story between a charismatic con man preacher, Brother Billy Gantry, who falls in love with Sister Sara Sunday, a sincere Christian. She seeks to redeem Brother Billy, who manipulates the flock with fake miracles, including a stunt with gold dust and feathers he claims are from angels. The film is an unapologetic look at modern religion and televangelism based on the director's personal experiences as a former faith healing evangelist.

    Richard Rossi does it again

    How talented is Richard Rossi! Great acting and honestly a very relatable topic as I've been in a church all my life and seen some corrupt things. I must also mention Dawna Lee Heising, wow she is one beautiful actresses... so glad they put her in this film. In all, a suspenseful film that will have you at the edge of your seat. Controversial? Yes, Entertaining? You bet! Thanks for making this. Canaan Land is a must watch in my book!

    Underdog Oscar Contender

    CANAAN LAND is a film so well-acted and well paced it had me captured for its full 113 minute running time. Richard Rossi's nuanced acting was stellar as con man Brother Billy. His womanizing and hustling was despicable, yet somehow his childlike qualities and subtext of brokenness made me like him and want to see him redeemed. Rebecca Holden was lovely as Sister Sara, the sincere Christian, and she did a great job both acting and singing the Oscar-worthy duet end title song "A Much, Much Greater Love" produced by Grammy winner Joel Diamond, and Rebecca's duet singing partner is Grammy winner Jason Crabb. I am supporting this underdog Oscar contender because it truly breaks out of the formula of so many movies to tell a real story based on minister-turned-moviemaker Richard Rossi's pain and past experiences as a former faith healer. Rossi takes the concept of a religious faith-based film and turns it on its head, while still delivering a spiritual message of hope and faith.

    A thought provoking and refreshing film

    This was truly a labor of love for an issue that is deep on the hearts of the churched and unchurched but not openly discussed.. there is something in this movie for everyone...Richard is bold enough to take on this largely indiscussed topic of con men in the church arena and gives a great performance.. it will help tear down the boulders that have been erected for those who have been hurt by hypocrisy... and bring healing and insight on distinguishing a fake faith from the real thing.

    An Entertaining Look at Religion : The Power of Prayer , & the Hope of Redemption !

    In his first major Film Presentation , veteran actor Richard Rossi portrays 'Brother Billy' the most prolific religious Con-Man since Burt Lancaster's 1956 performance in " RAINMAKER " , which puts him in pretty prestigious Company ! He's a Drifter , a Swindler , & a Thief : & he sets his eyes on ensnaring 'Sister Sara Sunday' & Her Truly Religious & Philanthropic Ministry . The Good Sister is played by Screen Legend Rebecca Holden ; & She does so Flawlessly !

    In one of the most amusing scenes , the wholly Desirable & Lovely Dawna Lee Heising displays Her Bounteous Comedic Skills as 'Connie' , the Rich , Mansion Living , Beverly Hills Beauty that Billy has Bedded & Fleeced before being exiled . Another of Billy's Gorgeous Conquests is Mila Perkins as 'Pary' , who he merely relieves of Her Jeep . All His other dalliances are revealed throughout this light-hearted religious-romp , as are the people that he just used & screwed-over .

    Incredibly Lovely Alex Rinehart makes an appearance as 'Angel' ; & that She Truly is ; & Gorgeous Ramiara Eve is an Investigative 'Reporter' , Hot on Billy's Tail !

    There is a massive amount of Special Guest STARS Personal Appearances , beginning with The Original Wonder Woman HerSelf : Lynda Carter ! Others are : Louis Gossett Jr. , Kathy Garver - 'Cissy' from "Family Affair' , Karolyn Grimes - Zuzu from " It's a Wonderful Life " .... Remember 'Zuzu's Petals' ? ; & Many More !

    It actually makes a Great Christmas Season Movie ; but it's religious pontifications can be pondered all Year Long !

    How does it all turn out ? ... Does Love Win ? ... Can Devine Love replace Carnal Pleasures ? ..... All will be Revealed in the End !

    As for me , ,,,, I'm More than Happy to Watch a Movie with Rebecca Holden , Lynda Carter , & Dawna Lee Heising in it All Day Every Day .... They are All just as Beautiful & Magnificent Today as They were when I first saw them on Screen .... Maybe even More-so !!!

    Make Your Choice Now to enter " Canaan Land " ! You won't regret it !!!

    Who is the grifter, the fake preacher or the movie in general?

    I unfortunately saw this movie while flipping through streaming shows. It is about a grifter saved by a fellow churchmember, but in reality this entire film feels like a grift to take money from christians for a horrible movie that totally missed out on jesus's teachings. If you are a christian and looking for a good feel good movie with morals this isnt it, this is just a scam to take your money from you. Do you wonder why there are so many 10/10 reviews yet the movie has a total rating of 2, its because all those reviews are not real, they are just part of the scam of the movie, make you think its a good quality christian movie when it is nothing of the sort.

    Anyway, from the covert art and screen image it looked like it was a fun parody on televangelists vs real christians so i thought lets give it a try. And i really wish i had that hour back in my life, i honestly feel dumber and just dirty watching this scam of a movie.

    First off, there is a not a country on earth this movie could ever be considered a 10, and it just goes to show how dishonest and brigaded the reviews are. You are telling me this show is better than citizen kane, the godfather, 12 angry men, the shawshank redemption, and i could go on and on and on. These 10/10 of new reviews are nothing but a farce meant to trick viewers into spending money and watching something that is a horrible movie in every regard.

    The plot makes little sense and seems to change throughout the movie but i guess that happens when you are the writer, director, star, producer and your name isnt clint eastwood. This is just some rich guys vanity project and it shows. Second is this a parody, a comedy, a drama, i just cant tell its so completely over the top and ridiculous. Parts are filmed like its a 10 year olds tiktok video and other parts look shot on a vhs camcorder. I even tried appreciating this movie as one of those movies so bad its good, aka MST3000 but even viewing it with that perspective it was a bomb.

    Characters and character development are all over the place from completely non-existant, to utilizing every stereotype in the book, its gets to the point where its honestly just embarassing. The whole sister thing is just weird, and why does she dress up like the second she leaves church she is out ready to walk the street corners? Also, whoever did the ward robe on this should be fired instantly, its like they got a discount on every costume not used in the last 20 years and said i will take them all.

    Overall this movie is absolutely horrible. If you want to watch a Christmas or religious movie then there are a thousand better. To me this is just a grift, a cheap homemade movie made out to be Christian themed but its not. Its made to take christians money and not deliver on anything.

      Pope Francis praised filmmaker Richard Rossi for taking a stand against fraudulent evangelists. "Richard Rossi is standing for good and against evil," Pope Francis said. "He is a voice for the poor who have been taken advantage of by those misrepresenting Christ in a culture of greed. He contrasts the love of God with those who teach blessings are bought with donations, which is idolatry."

      Sister Sara Sunday: I let you into the sacredness of Bethany Temple. And I let you into this temple. Fourteen years of purity I gave to you. You're not the first man to fake faith just to try to get to me. You're just the first one good enough at it to make me compromise.
