User Reviews

Raw, real, & romantic. A must see. Best film with a musical soul of the decade.

Raw, real, & romantic. A must see. Best film with a musical soul of the decade. Cineamatography is beautifully executed. Acting is well done. Masterful storytellung. A movie that promises to be a benchmark and set a new standard for faith based films. This one will disturb the co fortsble and comfort the disturbed. The music was like a character in the film. The musical performances were well polished and professional. Grapples real temptations of life on the road while giving an example of redemption and hope. The film is the sexy, sleek, and unsanitized. Many chrisitans may bash the film while secular audiences may likely flock to support the film. The secual chemistry between the lead actors is palatable enough to strike terror in legalistic church goers while peaking interest in the souls that have strayed from the faith. It's siren call may just be a lighthouse on the shore for those looking for a lifeline for love.
