His Only Son is the first feature-length film chronicling one of the most controversial moments in all of scripture--when the Lord God gave Abraham the ultimate test by commanding him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, on the mountain of Moriah. Answering age-old questions as to why the Lord would require such a sacrifice, His Only Son profoundly explores mankind's relationship to God and encourages viewers to turn inward and ask: Can your faith still stand when you are asked to give everything?

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.

3/5

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.

Anything to do with Biblical teachings is an A+ in my book. I give it a 4 star because I felt like it was missing on the storyline.

Loved the direction, cinematography & costumes! Especially for such a budget film. Excellent! Couldnt tell it was not a 4M budget movie. Ultra inspiring and touching. Left the theater pondering and wanting to be a better person. Just WOW! Even my husband was touched by it and had to write in his journal after we hit home. Highly recommend!
