The Good: There's so much good about this movie I'm not sure where to start. The movie is true to history, showing the struggles of the French and Indian War in a realistic way. The Leininger family is shown as a caring and loving family. Faith in Christ is the strength that Barbara and Regina turn to in their distress.

The Bad: The movie is based on a true story about one family in the 18th century as they face death, abuse and kidnapping. The movie doesn't hide this, so please be cautious about kids watching it, as it may be too much for them to take and understand.
The Spiritual: Joni Eareckson Tada sings the theme song of the movie and if you haven't heard it yet, see it here! The fact that it's a true story and portrays Barbara and Regina's faith in Jesus in a beautiful way is inspiring. Their parents taught them well growing up, pointing them to the Book so that when they are kidnapped, their faith in Christ is secure. They know that though it feels like they are alone, they aren't really alone.
The Verdict: I grew up reading Alone Yet Not Alone by Tracy Leininger Craven, descendant of Barbara and Regina. Their incredible story of believing they weren't alone because God was with them is one that greatly encouraged me in my faith in Christ.
