| User ReviewKenny DAn exceptional story of courage, love, and loyalty. It shows the best of human spirit surviving a most difficult challenge. For persons of the Judeo-Christian tradition will recognize that the film is a retelling if the relationship between Ruth and Naomi, and for Christians the film allows viewers to see the face of Christ in many of the characters. |
