Finally a faith-based movie with a lot of twists. I was very pleased. It showcased great acting and real problems without people of color complaining.

For the Love of Ruth is one of my favorite movies! I've seen it 10 times. It is such a beautiful love story; more importantly, it shows that no matter what your circumstances are God is big enough to answer prayers. Naomi paid a pivotal role in Ruth's life; she exemplified the importance of faith. Thus, Ruth never wavered in her faith despite her circumstances. God's love exudes in this movie. I would love to see a sequel.
This was a great romantic movie. The story line was similar to the Bible. I was that the good name would have been Boaz. OMG, I really would have screamed. Lol! Great that there was an additional story along with the main story. I did not realize it at first so the twists was not expected. I thought it would be predictable but it was not. Enjoyed it with my family. I would watch again. This was great for a movie night and relaxing. This is a movie that I will continue to keep on my watch list to go back and see any thing that I may have missed. I will share this with my friends and family for sure.
A faith based film loosely tied to the Old Testament story of Ruth and Naomi, but without overwhelming the viewer with the proselytizing dialogue that promotes an agenda for members of the choir, rather than a diverse audience. The acting and the characterizations are excellent. You have your good people striving to overcome what life throws at them, who persist to do what's right in the face of mounting obstacles. And then you have the villains who bear all the typical human traits of avarice, greed and power who stand to profit from eliminating those that stand in their way. You cheer on the sidelines for the decent people to win out and hope that the selfish ones get their comeuppance--its that good. Its a hopeful and eventually a joyful movie could possibly affect even the most cynical viewer. Give it a look.
I enjoyed this movie because of the realism that enhanced the true meaning of pain, indifferences and prejudices.
