Worth Seeing
The Book of Hosea is one of the most compelling books of the Bible for a number of reasons, one of which is because it’s a love story, so it’s bound to resonate with everyone on some level. So for this film, a camping trip is used to contextualize the story.It begins with a few young Christians taken to the wilderness for a weekend by none other than Sean Astin, a great casting choice. The core group gets along well enough, but one character is outed because she’s different on the surface. With that said, the characters aren’t the selling point, but I think they do good enough of a job that they don’t weigh down the meat of the story, which is the story of Hosea.
In it, we get an interesting depiction of Hosea, the trials he endured with his wife Gomer, and the relation it had to God and Israel (or His people in general.) We’re taken through the story while the characters react to it in a way that I believe teens actually would. They don’t agree with God’s ways at first, but once they understand the depths of love He has for us, it seems to make more sense. Willingness to sacrifice. The acting and sets in the ancient scenes are also quite good.
The camping trip may seem to be the weaker element at first, but the characters grow on you because they experience their own changes and growth; but as for the depiction of Hosea and his life, those scenes are engaging and compelling. Additionally, the youth scenes contrast the more serious parts for the sake of pacing and variety, as well as relatability.
Overall, it’s pretty good. Not perfect, but the message was what mattered because Hosea’s story is touching and poignant.
Believers will not be disappointed.
Great dramatization of Hosea and a story of the enduring love that God has for us. His redemption comes at our moment of deepest shame. This one will seem schmaltzy to the casual Christian and the unbeliever because they just won’t understand why/how this message is so beautiful.Yes the acting in the modern day sections is marginal, and it shows that it had a pretty small budget. However, this is not the reason it is worth your time to see this film.
What I do find silly is that I need to give 10 lines of review material for a film that worth a watch because is simply not typical Hollywood tripe, with either sex, violence, rife profanity or the ever-popular combination of all three. Oh well, there’s my 10…
