Lost Heart (2020)
trite
We all know that reviews of this genre of movies tend to be filled with two types of people;. those who have some connection with the movie (I know her! My niece is so good in this!) or those that fully embrace each and every faith film, regardless of its merits or quality. This movie is no exception. The reviews are filled with words like "heartwarming" "inspirational" or if you really want to push it, "this year's best movie." Of course it isn't any of these things. A more accurate description would use words like "trite," "shoddy," "cheap," and "insipid." Yet they continue to churn out these movies because they have this ready made (and more importantly easily pleased and devoutly uncritical) audience. Sure, they have had to set up their own distribution networks because normal avenues of distribution would not carry such pabulum. But as far as they can tell, the faith community will swallow just about anything in the name of their faith.
