Redeeming Love is an incident-rich saga populated by cardboard heroes and villains and outfitted with greeting-card sentiments and cartoon villainy. Read full review

The biggest problem is that the most touching moments are hammered so hard. "Redeeming Love" could have tried to reach a broader audience but settles for preaching to the choir. Read full review

For what it is, and for who it is for, Redeeming Love is in its own way an effective showing of the power of love. Undoubtedly, however, a more compelling romantic drama about a woman finding peace with herself could have been told. Read full review

Stuck in this largely infantilized role, Cowen imbues Angel with as much verve and spunk as she can; she’s often funnier and darker than necessary, offering a refreshing dash of acid to temper the sickly sweetness. Read full review

Redeeming Love is a kinky power fantasy in the halfway convincing disguise of wholesome faith-based entertainment. Read full review

A Hallmark movie with a major dose of God thrown in, I’m sure there’s an audience out there for Redeeming Love. After all, 3 million people who bought the book can’t be wrong (they can, it’s trash). Think Little House on the Prairie on Cialis. Read full review

The film is too narrow-minded to explore the notion that a saint-like man may want to satisfy his normal carnal desires. Read full review

If you dont know the book of Isaiah..have never read Francine Rivers who puts a characters thoughts in italics above their words than you won't fully appreciate this movie. It is dark because humans are but God is as relentless as Muchael.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fantastic movie!!! Beautiful story of a husband who unconditionally loves his very broken, hurting wife, no matter what she does. Be warned - there are several spicy scenes that are a bit much. But overall the movie is excellent!… Expand

I've seen a few reviews from some Christians criticizing the sexual & violent content of the film. In all honesty, I don't believe that they realize that there are people that don't get to start life on a pedestal. No one has a perfect life. It shouldn't be something that should be deemed as a 'no go topic' by some members of the Christian community. You can maybe say that those who tend to judge, have more to hide. There has been worse sexual content in film history (in my opinion). And abuse is, of any form, a topic that can be said to be avoided by our society in general.

The movie embraces the reality of what it means to change your life. To choose to define what life you want to live instead of what life has dealt you. I do admit, the film did lack some flow. However, great actors & actresses. Chemistry between the lead actor & actress was amazing. The cinematography was beautiful. The location was perfection #proudlysouthafrican… Expand

Have to say on this one have to agree with critics on this one though for different reasons. Although appreciate that the director was trying to show unconditional and unfailing love and that no one is irredeemable the way the movie portrays it is all wrong, definitely not same spirit asHave to say on this one have to agree with critics on this one though for different reasons. Although appreciate that the director was trying to show unconditional and unfailing love and that no one is irredeemable the way the movie portrays it is all wrong, definitely not same spirit as original and true Hosea story comes from and honestly feels like a forty shades of gray but with Christian elements, faith, and without the bondage. It goes wayy too intense and thee are some parts that are honestly just icky feeling. Is over the top and not what it could be. I would suggest reading the original story of Hosea and skipping the movie…… Expand

As good as the book which is to say it's not good at all. A frustrating retelling of a Christian story that never had a chance in today's climate. It regressed to bland cliché's of saviourism, sexualization and Madonna whore complexes.
