This movie thinly scatters a parable’s worth of plot across 134 minutes and resembles HBO’s Deadwood recut for Sunday-school purposes: pious, puzzling and punitive, with a sternly wagging finger never far from entering the frame.

Redeeming Love could have tried to reach a broader audience but settles for preaching to the choir.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 21, 2022

"Love" might be best embraced by the faithful, but it is well made and has much to say about the healing power of love and how we all deserve second chances.

Redeeming Love is like the most expensive community theatre production you've ever seen. The acting is just not there.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 20, 2022

It's so hard to shake the lingering icky feelings about this text, which plays like "tradwife" fan fiction, the 19th-century setting protecting the story from the pesky "women's lib" movement, which would suggest that Angel have her own autonomy.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 19, 2022

There's something icky about this love story.

| Original Score: D+ | Jan 18, 2022

The film is too narrow-minded to explore the notion that a saint-like man may want to satisfy his normal carnal desires.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Jan 18, 2022
