  • Duvall at his heartrendingly finest. This and "Network" are my favorite movies with him. Apocalypse Now also but his part was too small in that.

  • Sounds like some of the raw voices in the Book of Psalms. Very good lesson for us to be honest and open with God; He can handle it. God already knows what we are thinking anyways.

  • I don't know that the Christian churchwas/is ready for such honesty. That is one of the most healthy portrayals of faith and love I have ever seen. It's touching, moving, poignant, and human. Sometimes we forget the church is filled with humans. And sometimes the people in the church forget it too.

  • he crazzy

  • an American Masterpiece

  • Wonderful movie with some of the most amazing acting I have ever seen. A painfully honest portrayal of how much we need God.

  • @okcomputergirl13 I remember seeing this in the theater and was really taken by how good Farrah Fawcett was. I was always pleased that later in her career she rose to the challenge and her talented was respected.

  • This probably one of the best if not the best Christian movies ever made. It was definilely better then Gibson's Christ. Not that wasn't also a brilliant movie, but it had some very false notes & flaws. This movie is so constantly right on in terms of character & story. This by someone who has looked at the Evangelical & Charismatic/Pentacostal world closely & w/ affection, but most of all honesty. It is about how God draws straight w/ the crooked lines of our lives.

  • Duvall is a cinic...America's best actor.

  • This is true Christianity where the rubber meets the road. A passionate man with emotions who serves and preaches while also sharing his heart as David did in Psalms! 5 stars.

  • Comment removed

  • he should have won the oscar for this

  • @mmdaltx  I agree. Was he, or the movie, even nominated for it?

  • Farrah Fawcett, June Carter Cash...RIP.

    I think years later, people are going to look back and see how brilliant this movie actually is and was.

    To me, it is not a religious film. I am not a religious person.

  • My favorite movie. So honest.

  • Has Duvall EVER hit a false note? What a great artist.

  • Have you seen him in Network? He is really an amazing actor. I'm not one to think acting is an art, however, there are a few actors, like Duvall, who make it into art. This film is wonderful.

  • "Giveitomtgiveitomegiveitomegi­mme PEACCCCCCCE! "

    Tha's good stuff, man!

  • Seems to me he got his answer when the dog started barking.

  • There are so many things exactly right about this scene I don't even know how to talk about it.

    "Blow this pain outta me."

  • Absolutely Exceptional acting by Duvall.

  • A brilliant, truthful, painfully honest portrayal of someone going thru a crisis of faith. Maybe the best movie in recent memory to believers as real people, struggling to figure out how to follow what is perfect and holy in a world that is not.

  • @Hawthorne2k Thank you. Yours is the review I would have loved to write had I ever been able to stop crying, any (and every) time I watch this movie or anything from it, and I always end up saying too much. You captured it beautifully in a few words. Thank you.

  • Best line of the movie: "I always called you Jesus, you always called me Sonny." June Carter Cash had a small but important role in this movie as well. Although I wasn't raised in the Pentacostal church, my father and my grandmother was, and I have great affection for these people and for this movie.

  • Yeah! I like that kind of honesty!
