A Great Awakening Ratings & Reviews
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
A Great Awakening shows, quite powerfully at times, how religious belief can shape political thinking and action, but it would be a real shame to mistake it for a simplistic Christian nationalist screed.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
For fans of faith-based films, A Great Awakening provides an ideal way to celebrate a treasured holiday and the pending 250th anniversary of the United States with one theater ticket.
Sarah G Vincent Views
Sarah Vincent
the story is appealing in an old fashioned, old orator declaratory fashion, but the story squints aplenty and uses the bombastic style to disguise the pacing issues.
Pauline Media Studies
Hosea Rupprecht
"A Great Awakening" reminds audiences that belief in freedom is not divorced from belief in the providence of God.
Spectrum Culture
Joel Copling
The message overpowers everything else in A Great Awakening.
Behind The Lens
Debbie Lynn Elias
A Great Awakening arrives not merely as a historical drama, but as a cinematic excavation of a spiritual movement that helped ignite a revolution-both of the soul and of a nation ... Jonathan Blair's [George] Whitefield is nothing short of mesmerizing.
Epoch Times
Mark Jackson
The faith-based and hagiographic historical drama "A Great Awakening" tells Calvinist Methodist preacher George Whitefield's life story largely by way of his friendship with Benjamin Franklin.
Fox 4 Kansas City
Shawn Edwards
It is highly effective entertainment.
Rachel's Reviews (YouTube)
Rachel Wagner
A nuanced depiction of believers and non-believers for this genre. Worth watching
KKFI-FM (Kansas City)
Russ Simmons
While it glosses over some of controversial aspects of Whitefield's life and his debatable positions, it's a thoughtful, well-acted and sometimes moving account aimed at a receptive Christian audience.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
An awkward biographical mashup of Benjamin Franklin and evangelical preacher George Whitefield. This uneven drama pushes an agenda that the U.S. government should have a Christian bias, which contradicts U.S. Constitutional rights.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
It's an earnest account of a religious movement that still resonates.
Movies Thru the Spectrum
Al Alexander
Faith-based movies are inherently didactic. But rarely are they as shamelessly corny as "A Great Awakening," the fire and brimstone version of how Benjamin Franklin befriended and carried the water for evangelist George Whitefield.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[I]t might have been fascinating to watch how these two characters influence each other ... Such an endeavor would require a fleshed-out story, and clearly, that's not the goal here.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
A lively historical drama with a potent faith message.
