Overall, like most of the Erwin films, this movie was from a technical standpoint very high quality.
While I want to believe that the relationship between Jeremy and Melissa was a destiny thing, I can't help but think, that their relationship seemed to be far more based around infatuation, based on how the script portrayed their relationship.
With well established actors leading the film, somehow, their talent wasn't able to rescue dialogue which didn't quite feel organic. But perhaps this was due to the pacing of the film, more than anything else. With their "topsy turvy" dating period lasting a short amount of time in comparison to the drawn out hospital scenes.
While the film may be a fresh breath of answers, to a converted or questioning Christian, I'm doubtful the secular viewer could really see God's plan in Melissa's death. I do hope I'm wrong though.
As a Christian, I really wanted to love this film, but like most Christian films, it left me feeling like there was a lot of emotions, but not a lot of concrete answers.
It's a film I would definitely recommend watching, because I'd love to know how a non believer would react to this type of film, hopefully with less skepticism than me! :)
