This movie made up elements and left out such important ones. God's covenant with Abraham, God's speaking with and providing for Hagar, the visitation by the Lord and prophecy of Issac's birth in the coming year (when Sarah laughed, giving Issac his name). I would have preferred the story to be told linearly so we could have agonized with Sarah over her infertility, rejoiced at Issac's birth then really felt the gut punch when God tells Abraham to sacrifice his only son. Also I would have liked to have seen more clearly portrayed Abraham's faith in God's promise that Issac would be the seed to generations and therefore God might even resurrect Issac if necessary. (Hebrews 11:17-19). The movie fell short of my expectations, but I'm glad it has spoken to so many. Hopefully the director will consider sticking more closely to scripture in his future endeavors.

I've read other sites that gave this movie a thumbs down blasting it's production values in how faith based films will never reach the success of mainstream films. Thing is, I think faith based film makers are actually trying to separate themselves from mainstream to insure their films aren't from the perspective of corporate executives but rather the scriptures themselves. This movie is accurate and the production values here may not rival the likes of marvel movies in terms of budget but the cinematography here is still incredible. If there is one gripe, it would be how to get folks who don't believe into theaters next to those who do. Audiences have spoken either way and want more faith based movies brought to the screen. The story of Abraham is told accurately according to the scriptures. I will never understand how secular audiences bad mouth this film when it's based on the scriptures. Nevertheless, it's meant to be enjoyed by everyone and hopefully inspire.

I finally had a chance to see this and I liked it. Is it a great film that can be ranked among the great film makers? No. The pacing is poor, the structure isn't great and some of the acting... well is amateurish. But consider the fact that this is the producer, writer directors first major film. So I'll give him a break there. The visuals are stunning. The actress playing Sara really brings it, and delivers a great performance. The actor playing Abraham, knows about one expression it seems. While this story plays out in a few pages in Genesis, it would be a challenge to stretch that material out for an entire feature film. So there was some filler that does not appear in the bible it does not add or detract from the story fortunately. There was plenty of emotion to be found and I did find the film up lifting. Give it a chance.

This was a courageous and deeply inspired and inspiring movie about Abraham's life and his unimaginable struggles, culminating in the ultimate request by God to sacrifice his ONLY son, whom he had waited so many years for. The superb acting, the incredibly well thought out script, the intense photography and haunting music come together in a masterpiece! For those not giving this film a high rating, I am just so sorry!... They obviously just didn't get the depth and subtleties of this whole monumental work of art. The actors and writers have clearly depicted the long-suffering, the years of waiting in hope, the terrible time and place the characters lived in and through and the unbearable challenges they had to face! God bless EVERYONE involved in creating this remarkable movie as well as all those who go to see it. May everyone be deeply inspired and filled with a greater, deeper understanding! 🙏🏼🕊
