Dove Review

“Hemmingway” is an interesting look at a very dysfunctional family that is part comedy and part drama. When the patriarch of the family dies suddenly his fortune is to go evenly to the entire family if they can settle their differences in a very short time. As they family wrangles with their past problems, they are also chided by the youngest son to put God first in their lives.

This is a touching drama that will keep the viewer’s interest as they learn of the past wrongs committed by each family member toward the others. Many families may even see some of their own issues brought out by the siblings and/or parents of the story. This is a God-honoring film and we are pleased to award a Dove Seal to the project.
