Dove Review

Josiah David Warren gives a strong performance in “Seventy Times Seven” as David Anderson, a young man who is madly in love and marries the woman of his dreams, Jacqueline (Tina Ballerina), only to lose her six months later when she is violently murdered. Who killed her? It becomes David’s obsession to find her killer and when a few pieces of evidence points to his sister-in-law, Jen, David refuses to consider any other possibility. But as his loving family and church friends remind him of the kindness of his sister-in-law, David begins to consider other possibilities. He doubts God’s love but those around him refuse to quit on him.

This story ably shows that God is with us, especially in the valleys. We are pleased to award it our Faith-Friendly Seal for ages 12-plus. The theme of forgiveness is powerfully dramatized in this movie.
