About
You may enjoy this if you like faith-leaning, family-focused dramas about hope and belief, similar to Miracles from Heaven or Breakthrough; Not for you if you want a strictly realistic story or dislike religious themes.
Pros: emotional family story; sincere performances; thoughtful faith questions | Cons: can feel preachy; uneven realism; ending feels rushed
