You do not have to believe in God to see the beauty in this movie. I've read the reviews and several people will say it's cliche or too religious. All I saw was a wonderful independent film about how faith in God becomes faith in your ability to help others. If they took God out it would still be an absolutely strong story of how three families overcome pain and come together because of their commitment to be better people. When I look around my world today after seeing this movie I can find many places where I could help and wish everyone could experience this in hopes that we as a culture start thinking of others before ourselves.
