I liked this little film. A good and decent little film. The story, the script, the directing , the acting and the cinematography. A well packaged little project. I liked the idea that just when you thought that William Macey's character was evil, you end up realizing that he is not. Also, I liked the idea that believing and disbelieving in anything could change in any minute when your perception changes .

Brittany Snow is one of my favourite actresses, and this movie is a great reminder why. She delivers incredible scenes and portrays Cora in an amazing way. The movie itself is good, but the title and premise of the movie kind of makes it seem like a movie that is going to convince a girl who's gone off-track to find faith in god, however that isn't what the movie is about at all. My automatic thought is that this is a movie for religious people, but i don't think religious people would enjoy this movie all that much, and non-religious people wouldn't think about picking it up because of the title and premise of the movie. Still, however, it is a great movie.

Don't know what I expected, but this wasn't it. I thought perhaps the movie would end up being a cheesy B rated comedy, but the plot was searching for depth it never found. The main character is troubled, but the peace that she looks for is not going to help her. I would think any non-Christian, atheist, or agnostic could comfortably watch this. I do not think, however, that after seeing the desperate problems the characters are facing, a person could leave satisfied with the pretense of well-being that is portrayed in the end. As she wrestles through her life problems, the main character never comes to an understanding of who Jesus really is or what can truly change her life to one of peace and joy. She is bombarded by religious looking people, who for the most part show no understanding of God. She looks for truth, and is confronted with platitudes. She looks for love and is given a parcel of unfulfilled desires. She wants freedom, but she doesn't realize that the power of believing is only as great as the power believed in.(http://christiansareus.com/2015/02/11/guilty-yet-free/) If we believe in our own fallible selves who are clearly mortal, our own faith is fallible and mortal to. So again, sadly disappointed with this theme and plot.

Firstly, this is not just for religious people, as a atheist, I really enjoyed this film. Brittany Snow displays such emotional depth and a great character. She told the story so beautifully, I, a usually emotional robot, was brought to tears. The score, also, so wonderfully aides the telling of this emotional roller-coaster.Deeply relatable, anyone may see a part of themselves in one of the characters. Even if just slightly, with themes of guilt, love, depression and that human need to feel good. A superb film that is heart warming and wrenching at the same time.I think that there is room for a sequel, further analysing Cora's family breakdown and the effect of his mother's injuries on Chase. Everyone involved with the project should be applauded. Slight criticism is that it is short, this may be budget but it is still a great film.
