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.

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.

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.

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

@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.

@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.

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

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.
