    Happy Holy Week to the people who celebrate! His Only Son is the Bible story of Abraham and the birth of both the Jews and the Muslims. I really wanted to get invested with this movie but I really found problems with this movie. The first 2 acts I really found a bit…

    Wonderful portrayal of the story of Abraham. A bit of a slow burn but the emotional payoff is worth it. Great performances and a great job all around on a shoestring budget

    All should see this “True to the Bible” portrayal of Abraham and Isaac. And liken it to God’s great sacrifice of His Only Son in our behalf to redeem us from our sins and through Him we are given Eternal Life!
