This movie effortlessly drew me into the story of a mother and father's story of love for their son and the father's devotion to his Lord God, even to the point of giving Him his only son. It gave me a better understanding of how our Father in heaven must have felt when He gave His only Son.
Subtleties that if you know the scriptures give it depth
The depiction of Abraham's pain of having to sacrifice his son represents only a fraction of God's pain in sacrificing His only son. We'll done. Bring tissues. I want to see it again.
A totally different understanding/feeling of a well known story, that had so much more depth and emotion and WoW power watching it vs. reading it. Heart-wrenching at a whole new level for Abram's and Sarai's collective and individual struggles. Isaac was amazing in his faith in his own right. Had me in tears. Unfathomable choice to follow the Lord, regardless.
Great Story Very Well Written. To have the faith of Abraham and ties in how God gave "His Only Son" makes you praise the name of Jesus. God Bless You All
A terrific movie. Very moving. Very well acted. Congratulations to David Helling. His name was all over this production. I look forward to his next project. Jacob? Even though I knew the story of Abraham, to see it acted out on the big screen was incredibly powerful. I'm glad that I didn't miss this gem of a film.
Excellent movie with stellar perfomances!
It brings one of the most important happenings in the Bible life. It was so wonderfully done. I have seen it twice and will be going back with friends again and again as long as it is playing!!
I thought it was so good. The ending got me emotional. Very well done.
Loved this powerful portrayal of Abraham & his unwavering Faith through the decades w/God. A true testament & example of how we ALL need to be. Especially as these End Days draw to a close. ?? The great parallel between Abraham & Isaac & God & Jesus was so heart piercing, seeing it on screen like I hadn’t before. Really well done & acted. Looking forward to more movies that put Hellywood to shame. Thank you for forging on & delivering a strong & powerful movie, that left people in tears in the theater. And me, taking a long walk on the beach, contemplating my own relationship & weak faith in too many areas, comparatively. A needed wake up call.👍 And perfect timing w/the release.
