The film raises the questions it hopes churches will answer. It's clearly designed to open discussion on these questions, and to encourage churches to discuss sexual abuse.

... an enjoyable and competently made film that will appeal to secular-minded moviegoers as well as the choir.

As with a good sermon, it is engaging, and strives to inspire and provide food for thought. Audiences going in knowing what to expect shouldn't be disappointed.

It sounds like a rather overt Christian message, but the film is actually more of a cautionary melodrama with religious sermons sprinkled in between the various scenes

For all the tough-minded talk and frank portraits of inner-city life... the film is not altogether convincing.
