"After Hallmark scrubbed all mentions of the pro-life film Unplanned from a recent broadcast, pro-life advocates grew outraged. The star of Unplanned, Ashley Bratcher, first revealed that all references to the film had been removed from Hallmark's broadcast of the Movieguide Awards, even though Unplanned was nominated for awards in three categories." - W.Examiner

"Fundamentalists may think that issues like these outside our movement will impact us little. However, it is in no one’s best interest to see the SBC surrender the ground gained in the Conservative Resurgence to cultural liberalism." - P & D

"In this past decade I have been enthralled with such films as 'The Tree of Life,' 'The Life of Pi,' 'Up,' 'Hugo,' 'War Horse' and a few others, because they...contained a spiritual quality as well as an entertainment 'wow' factor. I wholeheartedly add both 'Won't You Be My Neighbor?' and 'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood' to that august collection." - BPNews

"Three Founders Ministries board members resigned this week after a controversial trailer the organization released for its upcoming cinedoc on social justice in the Southern Baptist Convention seemed to demonize sexual abuse survivors." - Christian Post

"Unfazed by a Twitter ban, abortion-themed biopic remains the highest grossing indie film in wide release after expanding to 1,500 screens in second week" - RNS

"God’s mercy is referenced during the film, but in a vague, theologically accommodating manner that a Bible-believing Christian will find the need to expand on in significant ways. With that said, Abby’s story leads into the gospel so well, with questions about forgiveness and the basis for forgiveness, even to the repentant director of a clinic who was complicit in more than 22,000 abortions." - Greg Linscott
