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-

If I had to put in one word, Its 'Wonderful'. A feel good faith in Jesus Christ movie every Christian should watch may be after Sunday mass/ church with the family for movie nights. Yes, miracles do happen even today. Unexplained healing when you pray!

This movie is just beautiful. It will make you believe in God for sure. Best movie I've watched lately.

The acting was very good, especially Annie Heise and Audrey Bennett. The story was well written and direct. It had a strong Catholic lean to it, but wasn't promoting Catholicism just having a relationship with God. And was brought out: well w having a relationship with God and praying to Him in such a way that you are "talking" to God. As advice from the main actor to others was it's not just spending time repeating prayers, but being personal in your prayers.

It wasn't a predictable movie even though there were a couple times when you knew what was coming next. But it kept you watching to see all that was going to happen. It is one I have recommended to some friends and one I would watch again.

Like others, I rated it an10 and it was well worth it.

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".
