God Bless the Broken Road Screening Review

Thanks to the Nuts About Books program by Graf-Martin, I was provided with a pre-screening link to watch this movie.




I've let this blog sit for a very long time as I've experience a very busy season of my life and look forward to sharing some reviews going forward. Since the transition of business owner to employee, I have experienced many of the challenges of accepting changes due to things beyond my control. My faith is what always gets me through. God's grace has been the most incredible gift in my life. It is my Christian beliefs that prompts me to watch faith based movies.

As I prepared to watch this movie, God Bless The Broken Road, I had assumptions, of course, about brokenness being restored by God. I was thrilled once again with the quality of cinematography, editing, lighting and sound that is happening with current Faith based films. These elements all enhanced m experience of watching this movie.

The characters and actors were all believeable even if they were somewhat stereotypical, again they didn't distract from story. The plot unfolded well with an unexpected twist of the child's rebellion. This made the story more plausible.  

The faith of the child, Bre was inspirational. Cody, the race car driver's advances were a little bit of challenge to see accept so quickly when Amber is working so very hard to make ends meet. The disabled soldier's testimony and patience was a highlight of the movie. 

Without giving any spoilers this feel good family movie is based upon the very real truths of how faith is our only hope in accepting things that just don't make sense. Life is hard and we need community to cope well. This message is loud and clear in this movie.

I lost track of time, which always indicates that I'm caught up in the story.



I highly recommend seeing this movie in the theatre as soon as possible. Find out locations where it is playing here at faithfilms.ca. I went to see this movie live on September 7th when it opened. It was a late showing and there was only two of us in the theatre. We really need to share and support these movies when there are so few worthwhile movies to spend money on.
