About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a faith-focused relationship drama with an investigation angle, similar in spirit to I Still Believe or Woodlawn; Not for you if you want a neutral debate or dislike religious themes.
Pros: heartfelt true-story drama; engaging interviews and debates; strong performances | Cons: uneven pacing; can feel preachy; arguments seem thin
