About Redeeming Love Movie
Redeeming Love is a powerful story of relentless love and perseverance as a young couple’s relationship clashes with the harsh realities of the California Gold Rush of 1850.
Angel expects only pain from those around her. Sold into prostitution as a child, Angel sur- vives with hatred towards herself and the men that use her. She meets Michael Hosea, a farmer who believes God wants Angel to be his wife. Dire circumstances force Angel to ac- cept his proposal, but when Michael defies her bitter expectations, her wounded heart be- gins to mend.
As Angel encounters a love unlike anything she ever experienced, feelings of unworthiness and shame cause her to run from a life she doesn’t think she deserves. As Michael sets out to find her, Angel discovers there is no brokenness that love can’t heal.
Redeeming Love Movie Review
When I first heard about the Redeeming Love movie, I had no idea it was originally a book. I have never read the book, so I won’t be able to tell you in this review how the two differ, but I can tell you everything you might want to know before you do watch the movie and honest thoughts of the movie.
Before watching Redeeming Love, I was under the impression that it was a Christian novel that parallels with the story of Hosea in the Bible. And, while it does, there was a few things about this movie that I wasn’t too excited to find out it has like; partial-nudity, sex, foul language, and violence. Though the movie is rated PG-13, it isn’t a movie that I would recommend for kids or teenagers at all. It’s NOT a family-friendly movie nor what I would call a Christian movie.
In fact, I was so turned off by the amount of sex in this movie, that I had thought about turning the movie off more than once but I stuck with it.
Though this movie did have all the things I just talked about, it still was a powerful movie with a beautiful message. In fact, once Michael and I finished the movie, we had a beautiful conversation about the unfailing love our God has for us.
While I will be honest, Redeeming Love wasn’t my favorite movie it still was one that I think has a great message that we need to hear.
