Review of To Save a Life
Watch this trailer for the movie, To Save a Life if you haven’t already seen it.
The trailer is pretty self-explanatory. I went to watch this movie this past weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it for several reasons.
First: the movie was about a real situation that has happened, and is still happening today. The politics of high school change, and ostracize people for who they are. I know that I’ve been apart of those situations, from both ends unfortunately.
Second, the movie felt real. It is a Christian film that has language in it, but the language was not overbearing. The language made sense, and was kept very minimal. Also, there are a few party scenes that are great depictions of high school parties (This is me assuming, because I can honestly say that I’ve never been to a party). There is a lot of teen drinking, and one implied sex scene. Because of this, the film is given a very real feel.
The movie didn’t feel like it was cheaply made like most Christian films do. That’s not to smash Christian films, but those that have seen more than a handful know what I’m talking about. The acting, editing, and the soundtrack were all perfectly executed into making it a better movie experience.
The final thing, and what I liked most: The film examined different areas of the Christian faith. I won’t say much about this because I do not want to spoil any aspect of the film.
I recommend that everyone to go and see this film. Take a friend even! It is worth every moment. I honestly will probably view it again.
