Exhibiting Forgiveness

I saw this at a surprise screening so I walked in not knowing what I was going to watch. The movie started and it wasn't the movie I guessed was going to screen. Thought about leaving, but decided to give it a chance. I'm so glad I did!! This movie is a powerful and heartbreaking story about the need and power of forgiveness. Hats off to everyone involved! The writing, directing, and performances were all top notch! After realizing it was a story about a difficult father/son relationship, I wondered how they would avoid cliches. This movie masterfully navigated the ins and outs of their relationship. It was tough to watch at parts, but it was so well done that it didn't feel preachy, condescending, or taking the easy way.

Cried multiple times throughout! Absolutely loved this movie!! Definitely a top 5 favorite of the year!
