Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Leaves you with something to think about.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 18 min. Short enough for a weeknight.

- Made in 1972: an older pace and style.

An emotionally touching story of a man who's life was in seeming disrepair, yet God turned it into one of redemption and atonement.
