Ratings and reviews

This unique movie tells the story of one young woman's search for love in the modern age by very unconventional means. It reveals a world that most people have never seen and know nothing about. This is not a "Christian film" or a boring documentary just for the religious minded. It challenges one's preconceived ideas of the meaning of love and relationships in an unexpected way. It is informative, entertaining, uplifting, and, at times, heartbreaking. Anyone who has ever searched for a soulmate will be able to relate to this woman and her life story. Highly recommended and acclaimed at multiple film festivals including Tribeca and first prize at Buffalo. Not to be missed.

I saw this film at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. It presents a balanced and entertaining view of a little known aspect of Christianity. It will appeal to secular and religious people alike, and is sure to stimulate discussion. Well worth a look!

This film is an not your average documentary. It informs about a fascinating subject but plays like a romantic comedy. Ross and Kelly certainly seem to be falling in love but will they marry? While the main character's choices may seem unusual, what she wants is universal, and that is probably one of the biggest hooks of the film. Also, it is a good conversation generator that I would recommend for classes on religion, women's studies or even for teenagers who are trying to develop their own their views on sex and marriage. It played at numerous film festivals including Tribeca and also has won awards.
