De slag om de Schelde (2020)
Good Circumspect War Movie
Well filmed with very good production values, good acting, and a focused story that's easy to follow. It's very hard to condense a month long battle into a 30 minute segment of the film but they did it justice.
The story leading up to the battle is shown through three different person's perspective who start out quite a part from each other but slowly end up at the same battle, and all eventually cross paths at a particular moment in time. That aspect is very well done.
If you've ever been to the Bastogne War Museum (so far my favorite one) in Belgium, this movie is told very similarly to how the museum guides you through it.

Best Kendrick Brothers' Film
The Kendrick brothers' movies get better each time and it has been fun to watch them progress. I'll admit I've gone and seen these movies because I could see the potential in their film making and I wanted to support the genre. I was not expecting too much progression, but I was very pleasantly surprised. This is their best film so far.
The production value, writing, and acting are better as a whole. The comedic lines were delivered well and got loud chuckles from the audience. There were a couples scenes that were a bit "off." One scene really didn't work (husband's dream sequence) and could have been cut, and the other (mugging) needed to be reworked as it turned out looking cheesy, but these two scenes accounted for about 2 minutes of the entire film. The audience clapped and added their "amens" throughout the movie.
This is a movie by Christians who pull no punches in sharing their faith and beliefs. Christians will love the movie, and hopefully non-Christians will consider the message. I applaud the Kendrick brothers' evolution and am looking forward to their next movies.
