Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The plot twists, involving a shooting, a kidney donation and an 11th-hour apology, are melodramatic even by TV standards.
Rotten: Blessed with fine performances, credible dialogue and slick production values that belie a reportedly paltry budget, The Grace Card ranks among the better religious-themed indies released in recent years.
Rotten: Such over-the-top emotional extravagance that even Cecil B. DeMille in his silent period might not have been able to get away with it.
Rotten: This Christian-themed domestic melodrama uses race as cheap window dressing for easily digestible bromides and a conclusion as foregone as a Family Circus panel.
Customer Reviews
Do not believe the critics
I saw this movie in theaters and I live in Memphis,which is where the movie was filmed, and I can tell you that this movie is accurate about the racial issues that pervade the city of Memphis, and it is accurate about the ability of God's grace to enable us to forgive the unforgiveable (to us) and love the unloveable (to us).
Awesome
The saddest and greatest movie I have ever seen. This movie has such a strong message and will deeply move you like it did me. It had me reach out to my father that I hadn't talked to in over 3 months. Love this movie.
I Ask All At Rotten Tomatoes For Their Forgiveness
Hearing is a gift of Providence from God. So is receiving; in spite of flaws, disagreements in self-rightness and feeling. This movie is VERY flawed. By the cast, by the writer, the Director, by the Editor… but, they, like me, are human. A work in progress and not perfection. The film is priceless. I rented it and immediately had to buy and own it. Why? Because I need to hear and receive this everyday of my life.
There is far too much wrong with this world I see and I need to have another vision. One of hope that transcends the hurt. That is what this gift of a movie has handed me. By all who have been a contribution in it. Bravo! Kudos. This film reached me and, that is saying something special. Seeing beyond the flaws is to hear the message. I wish that for all the top critics at Rotten Tomatoes.
