Alissa Wilkinson

Vox

The greatest offense of the God's Not Dead series may be its failure to imagine for its audience what a truly radical belief in a living God would look like.

Steve Davis

Austin Chronicle

To its credit, this third GND installment earnestly attempts to give some degree of lip service to diverging perspectives on the socio-religious-political scale without too much proselytizing, although there's never any question about whose side it's on.

Rated: 2/5

Less involving than its predecessor but by far the kindest and gentlest and most genuine of the three films.

Rated: 2.0/4.0

Jason Escamilla

EskimoTV

Very slow, too many sub plots, and boring. As a Christian myself, it was hard to believe everything that was taking place to become genuinely engaged.

Rated: C-

Javier Ocaña

El Pais (Spain)

Of course, presenting their ecclesiastical characters as people without money and without influence is a fallacy, starting with the very existence of the film. [Full Review in Spanish]

Michael H My favorite of the franchise so far. Shows the right and wrong way to show righteous anger. Brilliant in every way. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Rosana B Não tão emocionante e cativante quando os anteriores, provavelmente o alto deste é a atuação do reverendo, retratado aqui como homem comum, com suas dúvidas, revoltas e medos, em um determinado momento agride uma adolescente que incendiou sua igreja, importante também a relação entre os irmãos, que apesar de ateu demonstra todo o seu amor fraterno, quebrando paradigma preconceituoso acerca dos descrentes, o final abrupto me incomoda, a resolução num desfecho rápido e sem clímax, mas, gostosinho. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review bradley g To each his own beliefs and views and feelings. The movie shows just how emotional even the "best" of us can get. We all are equally in need of salvation and forgiveness. The movie also touches again as the past on situations that are possible or do happen in the world we live in today. It's a movie that I would recommend and encourage discussion Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Chris S Not as good as the first 2, but I was entertained. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Bonnie E Loved the 1st two movies and the last, but I CAN'T STAND THIS ONE. This one had different writers than the other three. It doesn't even seem like it was written by a Christians. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review John B Enjoyable movie that was touching with a great message Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
