A dull, sluggish effort that doesn't avoid a single cliche.

It's more reflective of the human experience than many of its pure-hearted brethren. However, it undercuts that authenticity by lacking strong character motivations and details that would make this story of redemption feel truer.

In the end none of it adds up to much.

Is this the third wave of faith-based filmmaking? If so, bring it on.

2.5/5

Rough and uneven, Generational Sins is not the sort of film that will be passed along from father to son. It is, however, an adequate vehicle for MacPherson to demonstrate what he's capable of, and that's worth watching.

1/4

A dreary, overly self-serious faith-based film, with little to distinguish it outside of some swearing.

It probably meant well but hell it was dull and almost completely meaningless. Who would want to make a movie about this plot now anyway? I didn't like the cast or the performances as well. Boring ass movie, I'm glad it was short.

Generational sins is a heartfelt journey with strong redemption!

Oct 10, 2017

This movie captured the true torment of so many in our local central pennsylvania area. I appreciate that everything was not tied up with a pretty bow and cliches were avoided at every turn. Plot was predictable but not on a bad way at all. Daniel Macphearson did a tremendous job capturing the true torment of Drew. The brother dynamic was well written and the redemption was beautiful and simplistic. Definitely broke the mold on faith based films. Well acted, well written, beautifully simplistic, raw, and honest!
