I have long been fascinated by the story of Abraham, ever since those days in Sunday School before I could read and later as I read the book of Genesis for myself multiple times over. By faith Abraham left everything he knew for an unknown future, he stumbles and makes mistakes over and over again, he is asked to make the hardest sacrifice, and he became the father of nations that still exist 4,000 years later.
I will come right out and say that I was impressed by this film. Its budget is minuscule but the movie is not. The message is powerful, the story is emotionally moving, and the quality is pleasantly surprising. I really appreciated the way they laid out the story as a man makes the hardest journey imaginable and he reflects on the past and what has brought them to this point. Each memory ties into that part of the journey and it is what captures the mind and heart of the viewer.
The image that really caught me in this film, spoke to me the most, was the scene where Abraham pours out his heart to God but there is no answer to his pleas. Abraham walks away and doesn't see God standing right there. If he had only turned around... Do we not do exactly the same...?
His Only Son is one of those movies that you can take your family to, recommended for older children as it is rated PG-13, and each person will take something different away from it. It's a movie that is beautiful in its imperfections and it's a story filled with truths that will not and should not be soon forgotten...
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives His Only Son a 4.5 Bark rating.
