The pacing was too fast amongst other things.

The premise of this movie was catching, and I enjoyed the setup. However, the pacing sorta threw me off. It felt rushed. I dont mind if a movie is 2 hours considering its okay to do.

I still felt I was giving introductory information. By the time we were to understand the characters, scenes and other parts, the movie ends.

I really disliked how the pastors character didnt have enough backstory to give us reasons for his treatment towards his sons. It is evident he had issues from unfulfilled dreams and other things.

Some of the acting felt cookie cutter its like okay that is expected and predictable.

Overall I enjoyed watching the movie and I just wish they would take their time and not rush it.

For Anthony Evans character "Royce" in the beginning, I felt it was the same person...Anthony.

But when we get further into it I feel Royce.

Good representation of real life!

Church folks are not perfect. This movie gives an excellent dose of reality. My only problem is the length of the movie. It needed two episodes - 4 hours total as opposed to two. It seemed rushed. With this being produced by Rotimi, I think they could have allowed him to develop the story more.

Mockery of the True Church

All church's do not conduct themselves like this It truly grieves me to see producers/Hollywood who are so far from the truth to continue to write movies about dysfunctional churches full of ungodly pastors and hypocritical members. I'm disappointed😞

This Line Explains This Movie

"How can you forgive a God you can't see, but can't forgive your brother who you do see?" Every church doesn't have all these things happening in it.

Great Movie Awesome Talent!

This is a real plot full of drama they sure did deliver! Please keep in mind these people are actors so if you felt some type of way with lots of emotions then they all did an EXCELLENT JOB!

I enjoyed the movie and will recommend it!

Okay movie. Very bad lighting.

Seems the lighting issues could have been fixed in post-production. Robin Givens....do better.

Loved it!

This was good! I really enjoyed it. Jonathan McReynolds did great with his part. And of course Rotimi did as well.

Could've been longer

I love Jonathan Mcreynolds!! Love his music, watches his lives, follows him on everything ❤ I genuinely felt like this movie could've been longer and told more about itself than what was shown. Some lines were very predictable.

Great movie. BUT..

The movie was good, but it hard to watch the father control his kids' lives, it was hard to watch at times. Should have been a 2 part movie because it kind of long, but it's worth watching.
