“Jesus had 12 people. He done alright, didn’t he?”

Synopsis: Can you imagine being sent to a church to tell the congregation it’s about to be shut down? Well, that was Michael Spurlock’s assignment…

All Saints is an inspiring drama based on the true story of a small church in Smyrna, Tennessee, that is on the verge of shutting down. John Corbett plays Michael Spurlock, a former salesman who becomes a pastor and is given the difficult task of closing the church and selling its property. Everything changes when a group of refugees from Myanmar arrives seeking help. Michael decides to welcome them and turn the church’s unused land into a farm that can provide food for the refugees and income for the struggling congregation.

One of the movie’s greatest strengths is its message about faith, community, and helping others. All Saints shows how people from very different backgrounds can come together and support one another for a common goal. The relationship between Michael and Ye Win, the leader of the refugees, is especially meaningful. The film demonstrates that faith can be expressed through action, compassion, and service.

The acting is another strong part of the movie. John Corbett gives a warm and believable performance as Michael, while Nelson Lee stands out as Ye Win. Barry Corbin also adds humor and personality as Forrest, a skeptical Vietnam veteran. The film presents its Christian themes without becoming overly preachy.

All Saints was released in 2017, is 1h 48m, and is rated PG. Can be seen for free on Tubi. Can also be seen on Amazon Prime Video, Fandango, Google Play Movies, and YouTube from $3.99.
