Loved this movie! A great view into the life of a Christian, a soldier and a family and how hard it is to be all three at the same time.

When I saw it was a "Christian" film, I expected a lessor quality, however, I was pleasantly surprised that the quality was very good. Tear-jerker

Faith-based drama, based on a true story, depicting the devastating effects of war on military Chaplains, soldiers, and their families. In this case, the film follows a dedicated Army Chaplain (Justin Breuning) in his first deployment to the Iraqi War Zone, in 2007, as well as his equally dedicated wife's (Sarah Drew) desire to aid and comfort families remaining at their home base at Fort Stewart, Ga..

I thought the characters here were realistically presented and believable. At times, the stark realities of war and loss can be difficult to watch, but there are uplifting moments as well.

I'm normally not a regular viewer of faith-based movies, but I felt this one was rather authentically portrayed.

Contrary to most Christian movies, you do NOT have to be Christian to enjoy this film.

Christian movies often seem to receive low ratings. I understand low ratings for many of these films because the Christian message is very ham-fisted and is probably not enjoyed by people who are not open to Christianity. However, this is not one of those movies, and that helps make this one of the best Christian films I've ever seen.

This is a movie about struggles within military families, and people who have family members or friends in the military will probably relate very well to these issues. I never shed a tear, but I was fighting them back for about half of the movie. It is paced very well to spread the emotional scenes throughout the movie. As each person attempts to overcome their struggles, only one of these people (a relatively minor character) appears to overcome their struggle through faith. All of the other major and minor characters may be intended by the screenwriter to have God working in the background, but at face value their struggles are all overcome by people helping each other. Despite the main character being a chaplain, the theme of the movie is really that people handle difficult emotions better when they ask others for help.

My biggest complaint is that the dialogue seems quite bland and cliched. It's never obviously bad dialogue, but it's also never particularly inspired. However, the actors still perform quite well, which is not standard for a Christian movie. And again, the overall story is still quite good despite the dialogue.

Ironically, MAGA movies are the sentimental snowflakes of cinema.
