A Christian movie I can actually recommend to everyone. Kylie Rogers does an amazing job at the emotional stuff for a kid. Every scene feels genuine. The story itself is one that actually has a reason to be dramatized in a movie, unlike a lot of other Christian stories that would be better off not doing so. The theme of leaving situations in God's hands is conveyed very well, too. The based dad puts his faith in God from the beginning in contrast to the mom, who has to see to believe.
I looked at the Rotten Tomatoes critic reviews for this movie and a lot of them say something along the lines of, "This movie is too preachy!" or, "No one but Christians will like this movie." I disagree. It's pretty clear that thought was put into it being interesting while also having an underlying Biblical moral. Non-Christians could definitely find some comfort or satisfaction from this, even if the faith part is not for them.
