Faith of Angels

"Faith of Angels" (2024) is a faith-based film that explores themes of community, faith, and divine intervention. While the story is not groundbreaking, it resonates with those seeking hope and divine intervention.

The plot centers around the disappearance of a young boy in an abandoned mine, with suspense and community prayer driving the narrative. The performances are earnest and moving, but the script lacks the depth to fully explore the characters' psychological landscapes.

Visually, the film is straightforward, with appropriately claustrophobic mine scenes enhancing the tension. The direction maintains a steady pace but lacks creative choices to distinguish it from similar genre entries.

Themes of faith are explored as both personal conviction and communal strength, with a message about the power of collective hope and prayer delivered sincerely. This might appeal to its target audience, but it could feel overdone for viewers outside this demographic.

Soundtrack and cinematography complement the film's mood, effectively evoking emotions during heartwarming moments. The Utah landscape is captured, showcasing both vastness and confined terror.

"Faith of Angels" caters to its audience, offering comfort and inspiration for those who appreciate faith-driven stories. However, it may seem formulaic to a broader audience. While not groundbreaking, it delivers a heartfelt, familiar narrative of hope and divine intervention. Three stars for a solid execution of its genre.

I understand this family had a lot of faith and that's fine. But it was portrayed just a little too much in this movie..I can believe a lot of people were hoping and pray the child was found alive ( I remember this being on the news a lot back then). But can not believe that EVERY person was praying that much at all time... Also I am sorry but if the events leading up to the boy being lost are true to the way the were in movie then his father is a poor example of fatherhood.. FRIST he takes the boy to cave at night after the other have already gone in ( not knowing the caves that was dumb..turnd out the flashlight to scare the group..dumb again then he leaves his young son alone in a mine at night and takes the flashlight back with him? Not making sure his son is safely joined with the group? Really dumb ther too. Then when boy is tell angel about his little sister wondering off and getting lost.... Glad he wasn't my dad.. movie was good parenting skill were not.

Faith of Angels is an inspiring film based on a moving real-life story. This movie is able to portray realistic sentiment without getting overly sentimental. I was particularly impressed with the performance of Kirby Heyborne, who nailed the emotions of a father in distress. I felt his pain. And John Michael Finley did a great job of portraying a reluctant hero, too. Even though I knew how the general plot was going to turn out, I still got caught up in the emotion of it all and kept wondering what was going to happen next. Faith of Angels is a captivating drama the whole family can watch together.

Based on the incredible true story of a Joshua Dennis, a young boy lost in an abandoned mine in the 1980's, Faith of Angels reminds us that we are not alone in God's work and that he can do miracles through ordinary people. The storyline is tight, the acting superb, and the cinema experience amazing. Garrett Batty, the director of "The Saratov Approach", and "Out of Liberty", delivers another solid story of faith and redemption. When so much of the world questions God and the need for faith, this story reminds us that he is in the details of all of our lives. Faith of Angels sets a new standard for how faith based films should be made.
