Sound of Freedom 2023
I think it is really distasteful to make what essentially is an action movie based on stories of child abuse and suffering. Creating suspense, fight and chase scenes out of what is supposed to be a true story is execrable.

I’m not a fan of how Ember’s personality change (improvement) was completely attributed to Wade. I don’t know what the intended message was there.
