Excellent, a Must See

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Led by powerful and thoughtful performances, and guided by restrained and appropriate direction, Finding Hope finds the tone that fans of this genre want and expect. The film stayed focused on its message and the actors stayed focused on their characters. Julian Grant wrote a simple yet effective story, pulling together familiar elements and combining them in a way that didn't feel too mundane or pedestrian. The pacing is leisurely which may have become a problem if the characters were not as engaging as they were. Shannon Brown, Sean Patrick Leonard, Robyn Coffin and the rest of the cast gave solid performances, but I would single out Suzette Brown for special recognition because her role was the most difficult and required more subtle and emotional attention to detail. I found it inspiring in message and execution.

From the first frame all the way until the last frame, I found myself thrown into the story, and kept there every second of the way. The film had an amazing way of throwing faith, drama and a bit of comedy together and keeping the viewers enthralled in the world. With amazing acting skills from Shannon Brown and Suzette Brown, the film did an amazing job of giving us a reason to care for both characters, no matter what their flaws are. This film was special to me and I want to thank the filmmakers and actors for bringing this to the screen. This is a film that i will gladly buy on DVD.

I found myself engulfed in the story from the beginning. I loved the cinematography and the scenery is inspiring. I loved the themes present: how people can change, the power of love, the importance of forgiveness, and being willing to reach out to God for understanding and love. Simon is a character that's easy to love and admire. Hope is outstanding. Andrew, although flawed like all of us, is someone we should be able to relate to as none of us is perfect. If you enjoy inspiring love stories, I highly recommend it. Well-done!I hope those who have interest faith based films and good family entertainment will see this movie!

This film was beautifully done and does a great job of keeping you on the edge of your seat while staying true to it's faith based message. I was instantly sucked in to the story mainly due to the amazing performances by the leads - Shannon Brown and Suzette Brown. The story follows "Andrew"(Shannon Brown) and "Hope"(Suzette Brown) as they deal with tragic loss which not only puts a strain on their relationship but also makes "Andrew" question his faith. It's a bold story, it's certainly not your everyday faith based film as both of the lead characters have to deal with gut wrenching issues and intense drama throughout the film, putting their relationship, their faith and even their well being to the ultimate test. These very challenging characters are performed masterfully by the two leads.The supporting cast is strong as well, as they do a great job of keeping the story on track and even providing some needed levity in certain spots. In particular Robyn Coffin, who plays "Edith". Coffin's character is key to the story and she was wonderful every time she was on the screen. I'd like to think that everyone has a friend like "Edith".I cried, I laughed and I couldn't help but get invested in the journey of "Andrew" and "Hope". I highly recommend this film regardless of your religious beliefs. Finding Hope checks all the boxes of what's needed for a great movie and I look forward to seeing it again.
