I'm Not Him

A well-to-do man in western Massachusetts (John Palladino) faces a serious health challenge and comes out of it with a better understanding of faith & healing, which helps other desperate people and draws unwanted attention.

"I'm Not Him" (2021) is a lowkey drama in the vein of "God's Not Dead 2," just mixed with a faith healing element minus the religious con angle of, say, "Elmer Gantry" and "Leap of Faith." The characters are believable and fleshed-out enough, featuring a diverse cast.

As with "God's Not Dead 2," the flick addresses very real possibilities in our litigious secular societies. I liked how the protagonist is humbled by his experience in the first act yet wisely never lets what transpires go to his head. Moreover, he refuses to fight flesh with flesh, which is unprofitable; he puts his trust in the Sovereign One.

It runs 1 hour, 28 minutes, and was shot in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, which is the westernmost county in the state.

GRADE: B/B-

Beautiful and poignant story told at a crucial time. No matter what your religion, or even if you aren't religious, this movie has a message that will hit home with you. What does it mean to believe? What can we control? What is important in life? How do we navigate these murky times ahead of us? Stop. Think. And watch I'm Not Him.

With so much strife, racial tension, pandemic difficulties, financial challenges because of all these other issues-here comes a story that has at the heart to look into our lives and reflect on what matters the most. Putting financial gain aside and find satisfaction in helping others. It is a simple message full of compassion, dedication, conviction, and purpose, with faith and believing in more than one's own abilities to make the world turn around each day.

This film is a much-needed balm in these times. Thought-provoking and inspirational from beginning to end. I loved this movie!!

This movie reminded my wife and I about the importance of trusting God in every situation or circumstance, no matter what things look like, knowing that He is leading our steps and not us. God has always been Faithful to us and our family, as we have fully believed in Him. He is our source and supply, for we walk by faith and not by sight. It was beautiful to see the trust in God that Jim walked in throughout the movie even though he didn't know fully what would happen to him. Obeying God in every situation is the most important thing regardless of the cost. I believe this movie, during these times we are living in, is a truly beautiful reminder to "be about our Father's business".
