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 portraysHave 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

This movie encapsulates the true meaning of love & forgiveness. It also tackles the side effects of abuse that survivors face that can last for many years. As well as dangers faced by sex workers.

I've seen a few reviews from some Christians
This movie encapsulates the true meaning of love & forgiveness. It also tackles the side effects of abuse that survivors face that can last for many years. As well as dangers faced by sex workers.

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

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

Super good and emotional! It connected greatly to the book and the two leads were some of the best actors I’ve ever seen!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s pitiless and pitch-perfect, an existential tour-de-force with shades of Camus’s The Outsider. 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.

It's well known that as long as the demand exists, the product will also exist.
So as long as there's an audience that will continue to swallow this type of empty romances, we will have to suck it up and deal with them.

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.
