This kind of religious film has a familiar vibe. I’d still recommend it, though, because it makes an interesting point: if religion could tone down the divine mystique and connect more with human nature and reality, it might actually draw in more young people. After watching this, I followed it up with Heretic, and it was a pretty wild experience going from one extreme to the other.

The movie was fine, but it definitely had this forced preachy vibe that kind of turned me off. I’m not sure they did any rehearsals because in real life, you just wouldn't get that kind of flawless performance without some prep.

A solid 5/10. The movie is well-executed in parts but carries an unmistakable preachy tone, especially as it nears the end. While the story holds together better than many similar films, the overtly religious message can feel off-putting at times.

Like most religious-themed films, this one follows a predictable formula. I gave it a couple of extra points for its attempt to present religion in a more human and relatable way, which feels more relevant to modern youth.

Um sólido 5/10. O filme é bem executado em algumas partes, mas carrega um tom inconfundível de pregação, especialmente quando se aproxima do fim. Embora a história se mantenha melhor do que muitos filmes semelhantes, a mensagem abertamente religiosa pode às vezes parecer desanimadora.

Un sólido 5/10. La película se ejecutó bien, pero tiene un inconfundible tono de sermón, en especial cuando llega al final. Mientras que la historia se sostiene mejor que muchas películas similares, el mensaje abiertamente religioso puede parecer extraño de momentos.

Como la mayoría de las películas religiosas, esta sigue una fórmula predecible. Le di un par de puntos extra por su intento de presentar la religión de una forma más humana y con la que las personas se puedan identificar, que se siente más relevante para la juventud moderna. 4

Como a maioria dos filmes com temática religiosa, este segue uma fórmula previsível. Dei-lhe alguns pontos extras pela sua tentativa de apresentar a religião de uma forma mais humana e compreensível, o que parece mais relevante para a juventude moderna.
