Very well-done family film.
However, in the first 20 minutes the main theme of the movie (faith) was not mentioned and it already felt like a movie that did not made sense at all - events happened very quickly and it was overall quite unrealistic.
Smallbone's acting was brilliant and his directing more so. But I guess I was hoping for a Jesus moment. In the end, I had more questions than answers which means the movie will not fit in well with sold-out believers. Overall, a very meaningful love story, but there's not one mention of Jesus outside of using His name as a joke between the Son of God and Santa Clause
Very flippant about our Savior, but maybe there's no need. I just don't want to waste my busy time on any film that doesn't talk about Jesus. I may as watch Star Wars or Indiana Jones than a family drama that should have more Jesus if it's a true faith based movie.
