10+ - Broke my heart what a masterpiece

Let's just say I'm mind blown by this movie everything from the start to the end I've been in love with it because I like learning about history and culture especially slavery history and this movie was it I enjoyed watching the musical scenes and the emotional moments of John Newton finding Christ. I felt like I was risking to the heavens specially at the end with the soundtrack this is the part which broke my heart and I will always remember this movie because of that specific moment. This is how movies should always be a fantastic story and ending I enjoyed every second of it and I'll watch it again in the near future OMG what a masterpiece. We truly have a Savior: Christ the Lord.

10/10 - Millions Saw This on Showtime

10+ rating

I understand this was one of the first faith-based movies on Showtime and it reached millions on Showtime TV.

So happy as it's an extremely profound and amazing film. The storyline combining two stories that parallel each other was brilliant and creatively ingenious.

I love Oscar-winner Cuba Gooding Jr's performance and the other actors were stellar including the JD Plimpton character.

This film is from the same writer as 'The Islands' which is one of my all-time favorites. The immense history combined with incredible slave hymns and Dixieland songs makes this film 'Freedom' one of the most glued-to-the-set, jaw-dropping films of the past decade.

MUST-SEE MOVIE!!

10/10.

Freedom

Freedom is visually stunning and almost a masterpiece. The Screenplay, Art Direction, Cinematography, Costumes, and Make Up are all top notch. Its also is a well edited film. The Original Score was ok but not great.

The artwork and scenery is breathtakingly filmed, and the acting tremendous. If the storyline occasionally stretches things a bit, just relax and enjoy what, is in essence, one of the best faith-based stories on film since 'Risen' and 'Hacksaw Ridge'.

BEST Historical Faith Film in the Past 30 Years

A+ grade for me.

BEST Historical Faith Film in the Past 30 Years. To me, this is a film you see once and never again. It is brutal, graphic, and I personally found it triggering my freedom and Civil Rights were given only a few years ago. And it really does touch you that deeply too, and whether you are a man and end up feeling Samuel's freedom, you don't leave the film without being the least bit scathed. Which is why I say it is worth seeing. Cuba surely gives an award worthy performance which thinking about makes my breaths shallow and eyes begin to water. In a perfect world, this should have won an Oscar, but for its faith content.

My rating: Solid A.

9/10 - Today I saw a movie become more powerful . . .

9/10 The script itself is very good. Although some elements are a little hard to believe--the fact that they had to flee to Canada and not the north --this film calls for a willing suspension of disbelief, which one would happily comply with. (It's really no fun to nitpick such a movie.). But it's a true story or stories (John Newton is the other)

The powerful faith element that drives these two stories is undeniable. Don't watch if you're allergic to Christ.

It's true that this movie does pretty much follow the Braveheart formula. However, this movie includes some elements, such as the cinematography and the incredibly graphic battle scenes (one reviewer likened it to Gladiator, "only better"), that are spectacular in itself. Overall, a great movie that I highly recommend.
