    Could've been longer

    I love Jonathan Mcreynolds!! Love his music, watches his lives, follows him on everything ❤ I genuinely felt like this movie could've been longer and told more about itself than what was shown. Some lines were very predictable.

    Worth your time- Great Performance

    Did Jon Mcreynolds just act? I loved it. Its a great movie!

    The pacing was too fast amongst other things.

    The premise of this movie was catching, and I enjoyed the setup. However, the pacing sorta threw me off. It felt rushed. I dont mind if a movie is 2 hours considering its okay to do.

    I still felt I was giving introductory information. By the time we were to understand the characters, scenes and other parts, the movie ends.

    I really disliked how the pastors character didnt have enough backstory to give us reasons for his treatment towards his sons. It is evident he had issues from unfulfilled dreams and other things.

    Some of the acting felt cookie cutter its like okay that is expected and predictable.

    Overall I enjoyed watching the movie and I just wish they would take their time and not rush it.

    For Anthony Evans character "Royce" in the beginning, I felt it was the same person...Anthony.

    But when we get further into it I feel Royce.

    Okay movie. Very bad lighting.

    Seems the lighting issues could have been fixed in post-production. Robin Givens....do better.

    Great movie. BUT..

    The movie was good, but it hard to watch the father control his kids' lives, it was hard to watch at times. Should have been a 2 part movie because it kind of long, but it's worth watching.
