Humbling and Impactful
What an incredibly impactful and humbling narrative! It is so authentic and illuminating, showcasing the profound power of redemption. I've been consistently engrossed in their podcasts, eager to delve deeper into the lives of this genuine family. I truly value the authentic representation of gospel truths and the love exemplified by Jesus in this story! I am hopeful this message will touch the lives of numerous individuals, allowing them to discover the profound truths of the gospel. It emphasizes the potential for everyone, without exception, to find salvation through the teachings of Christ and His divine plan.
The film masterfully weaves together a storyline that not only entertains but also carries a significant message. It skillfully portrays the authentic representation of gospel truths and the profound love exemplified by Jesus. The characters, brought to life on screen, resonate with the audience, making the message even more impactful. - theethinethou - 4 November 2023
A Christian movie that doesn't suck.
Reading some comments, I think some people missed the entire point of the movie, which was not to present us with cinematic perfection. However, on one point mentioned I agree with, it was hard to understand the actors at times. Subtitles might've been appropriate. Not that this takes away at all from the gospel message, of course, which is the thing that several people here in the reviews seem to miss, surprisingly even Christians are missing that point. I'm pretty sure that Phil Robertson was even worse than depicted in the movie-some things can't and shouldn't be shown I'm sure. All one has to do is observe him in real life to see that Phil Robertson was beyond quite the scoundrel at one time. So maybe the movie didn't even present the worst of it. But the gospel is what's important here and it was front and center and shining through. That was Phil's entire point. He succeeded. Or should I more accurately say God did. - peraleslc - 6 October 2023
Chills and tears... chills and tears
The part that got me was Phil's baptism. I mean I knew he was gonna be saved and baptized, but to witness the conversion...I was overtaken with emotion... Chills and tears... chills and tears for me. The movie was not what I expected. I was expecting more of the stories I hear from the Unashamed podcast leading up to the conversion but what I want and what God wants are 2 different things. Yes there were some stories from the past but it was done on how God wanted it to be. This was my birthday gift to see this movie with my son's. And they got to see Phil change from monster to the Warrior, Leader, Godly man God intended.
