The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
...like many others Christian films. a young shepherd. the stories of his father. his small desires and dreams and faith and expectations. and a meet changing everything. it is easy to say Jason Buster does a great job as the young shepherd. or than the atmosphere is inspired. or the plot is more than well crafted. the only not wrong but , maybe, not the most useful detail is Darin Southam in the role of stranger. sure, my opinion is the word from a Greek - Orthodox believer, not very happy with the portrait of Savior from Romano - Catholic/ Evangelical tradition. but the film is touching and the story real works and this fact is real important, agains every detail not very inspired.because, first, it represents a story of faith.
