Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Blistering performances.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Not a terrible movie. Catching Faith presented a positive message of owning up to your choices in life, even if they are hard. It also taught the lesson of being okay with the life you lead. The issue I had with the movie was in the film making process. There were a huge amount of continuity errors, especially during the football games. Beaus friend is QB the entire game, until 40 seconds left in the championship game and all of the sudden him and Beau just disappear from the field. I get that you shot a lot of B roll but make sure the same number is on the field. Also they show a close up of the centers hand a few times with a glove on and then when they zoom out, he has no glove. Simply attention to detail and maybe a few better actors would have gone miles.

Catching Faith is a movie that should be enjoyed with your family if you're trying to watch a spiritual football movie. Directed by John K.D. Graham and also written by Graham and Alexandria Doyle. The stars of this movie are the Taylor family who are Alexa played by Lorena York, Beau played by Garret Weston, Ravyn played by Bethany Johnson and John Taylor played by Dariush Moslemi. The Taylors are kind of the "Perfect Family" they have the somewhat wealthy parents with the genius for a daughter and the star football star for a son. The son Beau and his team were having a good season and after a win he went out to a party with his friends. His family went out for ice cream and then Alexa got a call from her mother he she said that her father had gotten a heart attack. They went to go pick up Beau but when they see him at the house he was getting dropped off by the cops. His problems were put to the side because their grandpa died of his heart attack. The family was heartbroken but had to move on. After her father's death Alexa went to this group which was like a type of bible study with a group of 5 women that spoke about their troubles. The big problem that was still in the air was Beau getting in trouble with the cops and drinking. His parents made him turn himself in but the town was upset because he was going to be the one to bring them a championship. Eventually after the backlash of Beau and his teammates and fans being upset about him not playing he was able to move on from the situation and things got better. He was eventually able to come back on the team and help them win again. The main scenes in this movie are the different lessons that are being taught. Things such as God always being there to help you when you are in need of assistance. Knowing that God is there is hard to comprehend but eventually that were able to understand and push through. My personal opinion this movie was an 8/10 it gave a good storyline and gave many references to God which is what I like the most. My only issue with the film was it wasn't many football scenes in the movie but overall was still a good movie. But I was able to get through the movie being able to say that I learned something very important. If you are looking for an action packed movie with a lot of drama and all that stuff this is not the movie for you. But if you looking for a great storyline with some spiritual moments within the movie then this is the movie for you. I would recommend that people would show this movie at church or at a bible study to show to let it interpret the message that God is real and he is there to help.

To be honest, I'm shocked that half of the reviews for "Catching Faith" are positive and glowing. This is easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen; I'm not surprised this was a straight-to-video creation by a director that clearly has no idea what he's doing. The writing is hokey and too obviously filled with Christian sentiments and teachings, the acting is painful and awkward, and there is almost no storyline. I get that they're trying to portray a strong Christian message and spread that good old word of God, but please... Let's hold the drama, shall we? This movie was unrealistic in the way that everyone behaved. While I'm sure it's mostly due to bad acting, I have seen this time and time again in Christian movies. Everything is depicted as a perfect little world where all is well and right in the world, and the worst possible issue to deal with is teen drinking. Really? Your son is eighteen and had one drink at a party, and is an otherwise good kid, and your world is falling apart because of that? These characters clearly have nothing else exciting in their lives, otherwise in any other situation, this wouldn't be a big deal. Let's stop pretending that Christians always do the right thing. By turning in their son, they're punishing him and potentially ruining his future. Trust me, there are a lot worse acts committed by Christians around the world everyday. They are some of the biggest hypocrites I know. So let's all take a deep breath, give our heads a shake, and maybe move on to more important things like... Oh I don't know, how Americans are threatening world peace or there are 3 billion starving children worldwide or perhaps inevitable climate change?Do yourselves a favor and don't watch this pathetic creation. And if you're Christian, maybe go ahead... you guys seem to have bad taste in movies.

I love indie films! "Catching Faith" might be a faith-based spiritual movie, but don't let the catchy title fool you. It has a relevant message for everyone of any faith or belief system. What is most important to you? We are all the same in this world with daily temptations, doubts, and fears that can change your future forever, depending upon your integrity and what you decide to do. The well-written story gives us so many compelling examples of choices we all face and the consequences of our actions. Without throwing in any spoilers, I empathized and fell in love with this family and their friends as they grew in so many ways.I loved the setting of this movie because it was shot in northwestern Wisconsin, showcasing the small-town beauty of not only the communities that make up the "Chippewa Valley" area, but also the lovely people. It is amazing to learn of so many talented locals being used in this professional production, and then seeing every single person listed in the credits! "Catching Faith" is a feel-good family movie shot in what I consider a gorgeous all-American setting. I hope this indie movie gets a wide release, as it has a wide appeal!
