The Perfect Race

The movie itself and also it's profound christian message is so well done! Please have it synchronized to other languages as well. Eg. Spanish, French, Italian, German. I'm from Austria. In a third movie we'd like to see the teacher run as well and train hard:)

Excellent story and pretty well acted, but the Lord blesses when we are faithful to Him in all circumstances, even when we don't understand what God is trying to teach us. Again, a great story leading an excellent cast!

This is in the same style as the christian cross country film 'Remember the Goal'. You will like it as much whether or not you have seen that. Runners will love both for the detailed insight into running. Christians will like both for the nicely balanced and relevant way the christian values are brought out. Here the race is the 800m at the college level. The prepration is shown here in alot more technical detail. The narrative is well paced, the acting is solid Hallmark standard. It is a very nice, rewarding film whose title is beautifully appropriate.

Real feel good movie. Bible scripture througout to give non believers an opportinity to hear the gospel. Loved it. This type of movie truly reminds me why Hollywood is failing and while small, independent companies are flourishing. I grew up with Rocky and The Karate Kid. This movie fits that mold. I am hoping that they keep making these types of movies for years to come. It will give my child and hopefully grandchildren something wholesome to watch in 2023. I will fi ish by saying that the two lead characters in the movie are strong women. With all of the talk of transgenders these days it was nice to see a movie about real female athletes.

Allee Sutton-Hethcoat returns to her role as a high school track coach and chemistry teacher though we never see her in a classroom. Clarence Gilyard a track coach at a nearby Christian College and he asks her to join his staff part time. He wants her to do special training for Brittany Davenport whom she coached at her high school. This favoritism causes all kinds of problems for all concerned.

Despite all the Christian platitudes coming from Sutton-Hethcoat and others what are coach was doing was showing a lot of favoritism for her protege. And if Davenport was a race horse and Sutton-Hethcoat was training her and giving the advice she gives her as opposed to a jockey in a race, the racing officials would be down on her quick.

Did the Christiano brothers who made this film realize this?
