Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News The Forge takes a long time creating any dramatic tension and spends too much time on cliched tropes — the addictive nature of videogames – to make its point. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Michael Medved The Michael Medved Show The struggles in this story are subtle, spiritual, and never melodramatic, but the characters are richly portrayed and deeply engaging... you come away feeling that you know and care about these people surprisingly deeply. Rated: 3/4 Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Nate Tinner-Williams Black Catholic Messenger “The Forge” is a Black-presenting Christian film from a group of very conservative White Christian creators about fatherlessness and respectability. I’ll just leave that there. Rated: 5.7/10 Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Preachy, schmaltzy and overlong. Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix The Forge is a pleasantly formulaic faith-based drama that tends to be preachy and mundane. However, the acting is solid, and the characters are likeable in this story about a young man who finds his identity and purpose. Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Rick Bentley KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) What the Kendrick brothers have done with their latest film, “The Forge,” is start with a religiously sound foundation and then add layers of strong characters and a storyline designed to resonate with all moviegoers. Rated: B Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
