Holds its own for most of the film and draws the audience in but like a lot of faith-based films occasionally its script lets it down.

The film faithfully tells Abraham’s story along with a very Christian ending and top-notch indie storytelling.

His Only Son is a worthy, low-budget drama about religious figure Abraham, when he was called by God to make his greatest sacrifice: the life of his son. The depiction of Abraham's troubled marriage gives this reverent movie some grit.

While the movie tries to demonstrate how obedience and faith will lead to blessings through Abraham's willingness to trust in God, it doesn't go deeply enough into why Abraham has this faith and belief.
