What a beautiful movie!

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I don't consider this a Christian movie, it's a movie about Rachel and her experiences at Columbine during the last year of her life. I'm not sure why people are discrediting the movie. Richard Castaldo was shot only inches away from Rachel, he told the press that Eric asked her about her belief in God before he shot her. Also, the basement tapes showcase Eric and Dylan's disdain for Jesus and Christianity.....and life. The movie shows the difficult environment these columbine students had to navigate daily, it's worth a watch.

Based on the journal of a person who had got killed in the 1999 shooting at a high school in the US. Really inspiring character and the story, till that final horror event. But the real shame was, the filmmakers used it to promote religious. Or maybe they have highlighted too much from the religious aspect. Because, her life and that horrific event connected with her unexpected prediction which are only a coincident, rather any miracle from heaven. I'm not against believers, but I anticipated honest, a reality, not fantasy.So coming to the film, apart from misusing a real person's life, it was a nice film. Nice casting and performances. Masey McLain was so pretty and awesome in her role. Don't expect it to be the film about that 1999 shooting. It was not about that, except it had a connection as everything was built behind it. They have shown very little from that angle towards the end. Some of the real footage attached in those parts. Yeah, the end was emotional as expected. Everyone might not find it a good film for what I had told earlier, nevertheless the true story deserves some respect.6/10

This was such an awesome movie. Christian kids make mistakes.... as do Christian adults. We're only human but we are also forgiven. However, when it comes to the moment when it actually counts, Rachel did not reject her Saviour. For sure.... a sad movie (I cried) but Rachel was and still is an inspiration to so many people. I am NOT ashamed of the Gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek... Romans 1:16.Her story has impacted so many people around the world, giving them hope and courage in dire circumstances.

Rachel Joy Scott's life is truly worth celebrating and I'm not Ashamed does a superior job! Without being preachy or cheesy (my all-too-frequent objections to inspirational films) I'm not Ashamed deals honestly with the challenges of being a modern teen while seeking to grow as a Christian. I'm not ashamed to report weeping at the ending. Great writing, great acting, terrific production.....you need to see how many light years ahead of other inspirational films one with real heart can be.
