Catching Faith (2015)

Thanks for the memories!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

hyped garbage

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Not a terrible movie. Catching Faith presented a positive message of owning up to your choices in life, even if they are hard. It also taught the lesson of being okay with the life you lead. The issue I had with the movie was in the film making process. There were a huge amount of continuity errors, especially during the football games. Beaus friend is QB the entire game, until 40 seconds left in the championship game and all of the sudden him and Beau just disappear from the field. I get that you shot a lot of B roll but make sure the same number is on the field. Also they show a close up of the centers hand a few times with a glove on and then when they zoom out, he has no glove. Simply attention to detail and maybe a few better actors would have gone miles.

To be honest, I'm shocked that half of the reviews for "Catching Faith" are positive and glowing. This is easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen; I'm not surprised this was a straight-to-video creation by a director that clearly has no idea what he's doing. The writing is hokey and too obviously filled with Christian sentiments and teachings, the acting is painful and awkward, and there is almost no storyline. I get that they're trying to portray a strong Christian message and spread that good old word of God, but please... Let's hold the drama, shall we? This movie was unrealistic in the way that everyone behaved. While I'm sure it's mostly due to bad acting, I have seen this time and time again in Christian movies. Everything is depicted as a perfect little world where all is well and right in the world, and the worst possible issue to deal with is teen drinking. Really? Your son is eighteen and had one drink at a party, and is an otherwise good kid, and your world is falling apart because of that? These characters clearly have nothing else exciting in their lives, otherwise in any other situation, this wouldn't be a big deal. Let's stop pretending that Christians always do the right thing. By turning in their son, they're punishing him and potentially ruining his future. Trust me, there are a lot worse acts committed by Christians around the world everyday. They are some of the biggest hypocrites I know. So let's all take a deep breath, give our heads a shake, and maybe move on to more important things like... Oh I don't know, how Americans are threatening world peace or there are 3 billion starving children worldwide or perhaps inevitable climate change?Do yourselves a favor and don't watch this pathetic creation. And if you're Christian, maybe go ahead... you guys seem to have bad taste in movies.

This is an Christian masterpiece of a film that is definitely worth seeing."Catching Faith" tells the story of Alexa Taylor and her 'perfect' family, she has two twins Beau (portrayed by Garrett Westton) and Ravyn (portrayed by Bethany Peterson), and the struggles they face. Beau is an all-star football player for a football team called "The Eau Claire Crush" while Ravyn on the other hand is an straight A academic student. Alexa thinks that her family is perfect, but when Beau gets caught drinking at a party and when Ravyn is tempted to cheat on her Advanced Latin II exam final, the family must pull together and realize that not everyone is perfect and that we all have flaws.This is a truly beautiful film about integrity and courage and believing in God.I give 'Catching Faith' a 10/10.

I love indie films! "Catching Faith" might be a faith-based spiritual movie, but don't let the catchy title fool you. It has a relevant message for everyone of any faith or belief system. What is most important to you? We are all the same in this world with daily temptations, doubts, and fears that can change your future forever, depending upon your integrity and what you decide to do. The well-written story gives us so many compelling examples of choices we all face and the consequences of our actions. Without throwing in any spoilers, I empathized and fell in love with this family and their friends as they grew in so many ways.I loved the setting of this movie because it was shot in northwestern Wisconsin, showcasing the small-town beauty of not only the communities that make up the "Chippewa Valley" area, but also the lovely people. It is amazing to learn of so many talented locals being used in this professional production, and then seeing every single person listed in the credits! "Catching Faith" is a feel-good family movie shot in what I consider a gorgeous all-American setting. I hope this indie movie gets a wide release, as it has a wide appeal!
