What a wonderful movie. It said exactly what it needed to say, showing how the unredeemed need redemption, how the conflicted need to connect with the great power of God to resolve their conflicts. It artfully introduces enough "movie stuff" (like a semblance of a plot) to make you forget (for a moment or two) that you are being proselytized. All sorts of wholesome relationships are presented, including a breast-feeding mom handing her infant to guy in a baseball cap. What could be more Fantasy-Christian-America than this? Especially when women introduce themselves to other men as so-and-so's wife! Perfect!

Everything I was seeing told me to expect another feel good preachy movie. Where folks have an obstacle and overcome it with faith.It was so much more than that and a great and inspiring message for all of humanity. There indeed obstacles, many major ones. How those obstacles are faced and overcome and how they change people and their community was worth the watch and even worthy of a movie ticket in my opinion.If you have not seen it please do.

I've been watching a lot of Christian themed movies lately and i really liked this one. I will admit it comes off as low budget, but it didnt take away from the story of the film. I noticed that some people are asking "John Corbett as a pastor?" and I thought he was a perfect fit. Another perfect fit was Barry Corbin.; he does cantankerous so well!!This wasnt a film filled with dynamite actors, I know, I found myself cringing a lot the first 20 minutes, but after a while I was so into the story that I stopped noticing and was amazed at the spirit of this little town and the people in it. Oh and I Ioved discovering that the cast of refugees were actual Karen people!!!

I was pleasantly surprised by the strong acting and professional quality of this film. "All Saints" depicts the struggle of a fledgling pastor to revive a nearly-defunct church, while trying to meet the needs of a wave of refugees from war-torn Burma. While many faith- based films focus on miraculous conversions and battles with the secular, this film dealt with the more prevalent problems many congregations experience. Shrinking membership and aging populations, as well as the financial struggles of maintaining buildings--these are the painful reality for many faith communities. Poised for dissolution, the All Saints Episcopal church is about to be sold off, and the members scattered. Rather than go along with the sale, the people band together--old and new--to try to save the church through growing produce. The story is powerful, and the filmmakers have mixed professional actors and actual congregation members in the cast. This, and the use of the actual church and grounds for the filming location, brings a strong authentic feel to the film. Audiences will resonate with both the dilemma--and the solutions found by the main characters. Kudos to all for a relevant and uplifting film!
