Faith of Angels

I understand this family had a lot of faith and that's fine. But it was portrayed just a little too much in this movie..I can believe a lot of people were hoping and pray the child was found alive ( I remember this being on the news a lot back then). But can not believe that EVERY person was praying that much at all time... Also I am sorry but if the events leading up to the boy being lost are true to the way the were in movie then his father is a poor example of fatherhood.. FRIST he takes the boy to cave at night after the other have already gone in ( not knowing the caves that was dumb..turnd out the flashlight to scare the group..dumb again then he leaves his young son alone in a mine at night and takes the flashlight back with him? Not making sure his son is safely joined with the group? Really dumb ther too. Then when boy is tell angel about his little sister wondering off and getting lost.... Glad he wasn't my dad.. movie was good parenting skill were not.

Faith of Angels is an unforgettable cinematic experience that blends faith, struggle, and divine purpose into a deeply emotional journey. From its opening moments, the film draws you in with its spiritual sincerity and a message that resonates long after the credits roll.

The storytelling is both delicate and powerful.. weaving together moments of pain, doubt, and divine hope with grace and beauty. The cast delivers moving performances, each filled with authenticity and emotional depth. You can feel the weight of every decision, every prayer, and every step of faith.

Visually stunning and spiritually rich, the film avoids over-sensationalism and instead invites you into something much deeper: a quiet, radiant portrayal of how heaven works through the most unexpected people and moments.

Faith of Angels is not just a film.. it's an experience of grace.

Based on the incredible true story of a Joshua Dennis, a young boy lost in an abandoned mine in the 1980's, Faith of Angels reminds us that we are not alone in God's work and that he can do miracles through ordinary people. The storyline is tight, the acting superb, and the cinema experience amazing. Garrett Batty, the director of "The Saratov Approach", and "Out of Liberty", delivers another solid story of faith and redemption. When so much of the world questions God and the need for faith, this story reminds us that he is in the details of all of our lives. Faith of Angels sets a new standard for how faith based films should be made.

Sure the acting was not excellent like box office movies but the movie was still made me feel very emotional. The sheriff made me very angry and I personally feel they should have written an article about his incompetency in regards to letting an area expert help. Had the sheriff done so, it's possible Joshua would have been found on the first day. The sheriff is pretty lucky that Joshua did not die. He would have had blood on his hands. The sheriff should have been reported to his superiors. I like the 'dream' scenes that Joshua had in the tunnels were really good. Tying in the parable of the Mustard Seed was really good and done well.

As a concept this film has all the makings of a hit and I suspect it could have been one with a higher production budget. There's not one element that is consistently bad, but nothing that is consistently good, either. The writing and acting are both good at various moments of the film, but there are more segments with unrealistic cheesy writing and also acting that makes Hallmark look professional.

However, the biggest distraction to viewers is the elements from post-production, mainly the addition of musical or tonal elements to nearly every scene as an attempt to stir the viewer emotionally. It was too intrusive, distracting and unnecessary in at least half the places where it's been added. The Field of Dreams esque whispers were just ridiculous, though.

The film has a worthy message and with some additional editing, could be worthy of a theatrical release. As it stands, I would wait to view it on streaming or other media to have control of the volume when the over the top background accompaniment can be turned down.
