Featured reviews
I really enjoyed this film. It was refreshing to watch. This movie has heart, its original, it's funny but it also has its dramatic moments. It isn't meant to taken too seriously but also has deep meaning behind the events that occur. I found it unique and entertaining.
I thought this looked like it might be interesting and it could have been if it had better writers.
The problem is, you do not really see much of the John character and his miracles are few and not really that interesting.
Contrary to the other reviewers I think the acting is not that bad from the main characters but without anything to work with script-wise, it was all a bit of a damp squib to be honest and soon became a bit crusty and monochromatic so I cannot really recommend it and giving it 4 stars may be a bit generous!

Movie about faith and love displayed in a real world situation without being hokey. Also exposing big-pharma devious ambition. Movie although not biblically accurate, but biblically inspired.
Excellent...Well done movie...

Don´t let the large number of awards fool you, but let words as Salvation, Alpacalypse Productions and Higher Universe Pictures do the talking for them instead. What we have here is a demonicly clever apparantly realistic build-up, in which factual problem of overmedicating in the healthcare sector for Pharma profits is gradually twisted and abused into a plot that declares mental illness as being nothing but a sheer matter of a lack of faith, and which therefor claims that all medication would be entirely unnessesary and dedundant if patients with a mentale disorder would only turn themselves into the care of the lord. This product should at least be distributed under a clear label of fiction, and should actually better still be marked as a potential hazard to public health.
This movie reminds me a lot of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest. Not as hard hitting or well made, but it has powerful messages without being preachy.
It is not a Christian vehicle for a salvation message, nothing like that.
It weaves an interesting tale while touching on over medication, administrative greed, as well as portrays that some medical staff cares about their patients.
Shows the imperfection of the human vessel and the frailty of the mind.
Its a good drama. I recommend it, but not for a date night or for younger kids. The subject matters shown and alluded to are for a mature audience.
