His Only Son

Holds its own for most of the film and draws the audience in but like a lot of faith-based films occasionally its script lets it down.

The film faithfully tells Abraham’s story along with a very Christian ending and top-notch indie storytelling.

His Only Son is a worthy, low-budget drama about religious figure Abraham, when he was called by God to make his greatest sacrifice: the life of his son. The depiction of Abraham's troubled marriage gives this reverent movie some grit.

While the movie tries to demonstrate how obedience and faith will lead to blessings through Abraham's willingness to trust in God, it doesn't go deeply enough into why Abraham has this faith and belief.

The slight film is a bore, as it fully covers the Bible story and nothing else.

I appreciate His Only Son doesn't shy away from the troubling aspects of the story

His Only Son examines mankind's relationship to God and practically demands that the viewer turn inward to ask ourselves how we would respond to such a command. 




A good presentation of the Abraham/Isaac bible story, perfectly timed for the Easter crowd.

There’s a reason others have filmed the Abraham/Isaac story, but always left it as merely a chapter in the larger narrative of “The Bible…In the Beginning” or “The Greatest Story Ever Told.” It’s just a vivid but short anecdote, not material for an epic.

An exhilarating, poignant and mesmerizing journey with just the right balance of Truth and Spectacle.
