Uma prova de fé

I'm not a Christian, but I can understand that a good part of this country is. I think that Christians, however, are doing themselves a disservice with this recent rash of films they've made. Hear me out on this. The filmmakers seem to have one thing in common: none of them have studied film.

The cinematography is flat, the editing is filled with jump cuts, and the dialogue seems contrived and unnatural.

It seems to me that if the filmmakers would put a little more time into their work they could actually pull off something pretty awesome and a little further reaching. Unfortunately, the films seem to be shot on a shoe-string budget with only the interest of the movie studios making money off of a certain demographic.

I'm OK if you're Christian, but you should still have discernibility in your tastes of film. These films are flimsy and don't hold.

I will admit that the acting was simply horrible; no Oscar performances here. The story was a good one even though it felt rushed. It's hard to capture someone's walk with God in a 88 minute film and yes, some of what took place was overdone, but in the end it didnt matter to me. This movie is about realizing that your walk with God has been lukewarm and it's time to amp thing up, regardless of what that may mean. In this case it meant teaching your child to do the right thing even when it meant not liking the consequences or taking the chance that others weren't going to like it either. This is what it means to be a Christian.

This movie is like looking at a car wreck... you hope the writer, producers and director were in the car wreck!

I am a Christian and love a good faith based movie but this was not one of them. I HATED this movie. The acting is awful and awkward. The way the movie was written is very un- natural, over-dramatic, labored and too deliberate. It is actually rather painful to watch it was done so poorly. The editing is very poorly done as well and there are many inconsistencies. Also the movie is not based in reality. People don't act in real life at all like they do in this movie. The movie suggests that life is perfect and everything has to be done perfectly which is not realistic at all. I could' even finish it and only got about 3/4 through it. If you want a good faith based movie try Gods not dead or do you believe or war room but stay far far away from this one!!! It is easily one of the worst movies I ever saw!

The "background" music overpowered the dialog throughput the movie. Subtitles could have helped. Being able to hear probably would have improved my score!
