I’m glad you found the review helpful and encouraging Lauren. Sometimes it takes real effort to see redemption in a fallen world but relating to a film is often like relating to a person; if I see beneath the offensive behaviors I will find an image bearer of God who is longing for a place to call home. I hope you return to viaRenovo in the future and continue adding your voice to the discussion. Also, be sure to become a fan on Facebook and/or Twitter!

Hi! I just stumbled upon this review and I really appreciated it. I watched this movie last night for the first time and I absolutely loved it. I, too, am a believer and I saw the redemption in this film. I agree – it was quite vulgar at times, but it was certainly beautiful. And, to the commented above, Sharon, what a good woman you are – thank you for listening to this girl, despite how she expressed herself. That was such an encouragement to me.

Thanks, Travis.
So often I decide that I hate a movie based on language, sex scenes, etc. I AM learning to look beyond those things, but it doesn’t come easy.
My grand daughter had a friend who would come visit me because I would listen to her. It took awhile before I could hear anything she said because of all the times she used the “f” word. Eventually, I could hear her heart and the pain she felt. If I had refused to listen to the way she expressed herself, I would have missed knowing her; really knowing her.
