With great jobs, a beautiful daughter (Alena Pitts) and a dream house, the Jordans seem to have it all. Appearances can be deceiving, however, as husband Tony (T.C. Stallings) flirts with temptation and wife Elizabeth (Priscilla Shirer) becomes increasingly bitter, crumbling under the strain of a failing marriage. Their lives take an unexpected turn for the better when Elizabeth meets her newest client, Miss Clara (Karen Abercrombie), who encourages the couple to find happiness through prayer.

Kendrick's view of Christian devotion involves only trivial sacrifices and offers a gospel of self-help that masks its wider doctrinal implications.

War Room is the most slickly made faith-based film I've seen yet in terms of production values, but that doesn't make it quote-unquote good, per se.

The film's best performance may very well come from young Alena Pitts.

...it's the fault of the Kendrick Brothers, who have made a film that gleefully rejects nuance and shades of gray.

All kinds of kitschy, in a frankly rather enjoyable way.

This one touched my heart in a real way. The movie beautifully showed the power of faith, prayer, and never giving up during difficult times. I loved how the characters grew and learned to trust God through their struggles. It's one of those movies that leaves you thinking long after it ends.

Such an inspirational movie of God's restorative nature, of our human condition and the power of prayer. I throughly enjoyed it. I want to watch the other films now associated with these writers and directors. And build my own War Room. Uplifting, sweet. A bit cliche, but thats OK.
