I'm a Christian. There's nothing wrong with faith or prayer at all. But when a movie's answer to domestic abuse is prayer instead of counseling or a divorce, then that's stupid and offensive. God and Jesus aren't genies. In the same way ifI'm a Christian. There's nothing wrong with faith or prayer at all. But when a movie's answer to domestic abuse is prayer instead of counseling or a divorce, then that's stupid and offensive. God and Jesus aren't genies. In the same way if you got robbed or stabbed you would go to the police or a hospital, you can absolutely turn to God if you're being abused, but also you DEFINITELY should call the police, or get counseling, or get a divorce if all else fails because some people are a**holes and can't be changed and you shouldn't have to suffer because of them. This movie paints a woman trapped in an abusive marriage as the bad guy and that's incredibly insulting.… Expand

The problem with War Room, it is so cheesy and just can't pick up. The whole 2 hours you are waiting for it to start picking up, and in the end it never does.

Fitting that the very system so often derided by the Christian right (Hollywood) is now being used by those very people to prosthelytize and peddle their hilariously vapid moralizing.

Fitting, because filmmaking in and of itself is a creation, a fabrication - relying on written contrivance and a necessary suspension of disbelief, not unlike religion, which requires even more of a "leap of faith." Make no mistake, faith is literally defined as "belief without evidence," so what better venue than a movie theater to peddle such absurdities? The problem here is that religion also lacks creativity (to be creative one must also embrace free thinking, which religion rejects) and this film is likewise utterly and pathetically devoid of anything resembling a creative work of art. Watch Bunuel's "Viridiana" or "The Milky Way"... watch any of Bergman's chamber dramas - "Seventh Seal," "Through a Glass Darkly"... watch Bresson's "Diary of a Country Priest" and witness the opposite of what this insipid Christian Hallmark card of a film attempts to put forth. These are great films that offer thought-provoking, artistic ruminations on belief and faith and the challenge of living in a world that does not have easy answers that can be cured with such intellectually lazy devices such as prayer and faith. This ridiculous film caters to hate mongers like Kim Davis, who have the same narrow view of the world that the makers of this film embrace with such blinding zeal. Avoid this film at all costs - it's simply an advertisement to belief without the "inconvenience" of thinking.… Expand

So, the moral of War Room is if your husband is abusive, then it's YOUR fault, and you need to pray to God for him to forgive YOU and let him do all of the work instead of getting counselling or if all else fails, a divorce.

At least it's not as bad as Gods Not Dead. That's about the only compliment I can give it.

There is a story I remember, a man is drowning in the Ocean, so he prays for salvation. A boat comes by and offers him safety. But he turns them away saying God will

Save me. This process repeats it self 3 times it's 3 times in the end the man drowns. When he sees God in heaven he asks why Gpd didn't save him. God said I sent you 3 boats what more could you want? Now imagine a movie that's moral is pray like that man in the ocean while not working towards safety. That is War Room… Expand
