REVIEW: ‘God Friended Me’ Season 1, Episode 2: “The Good Samaritan”

Its depiction of autism deserves major props as well.  However, bad writing, bad pacing, and some odd cinematography make the  show a struggle to sit through. If those issues continue to plague the  show, its sermons will stay left unheard.

Heartland Film Festival: ‘Back Roads’ will rip your heart out, but it’ll irk the brain too

One of art’s main goals is to elicit a reaction from its audience. In  those terms, Back Roads is quite the success. It is a heart-wrenching  film that skillfully shows the bleakness and hopelessness of the Altmyer  family’s downward spiral.
