Production Quality (2 points)
For a production created in 1993, Come the Morning is excellent. Worldwide Pictures has always been a standout company for their commitment to production quality. Video quality, audio quality, soundtrack, and camera work are all what they should be in this film. There was obviously great care given to the historical authenticity of this film’s sets, locations, and props. The only small issues to point out here pertain to some slightly low-quality lighting in some scenes, as well as some quick cuts and transitions in the editing. However, in the end, this is an excellent effort and is one that can serve as an example for future films.
Plot and Storyline Quality (1 point)
Unlike other Christian films newer than it, Come the Morning exhibits Worldwide Pictures’ ability to capture the real-life struggles of accessible characters. This story is not afraid to portray gritty circumstances and contains a lot of good ideas. The characters are very believable, yet they could use a little more personality through more complex dialogue. They have a tendency to be swept along by circumstances. It also seems like this story could be longer than it is, since it leaves a lot of potential on the proverbial playing field. But regardless of this, Come the Morning is an accessible story that depicts a realistic story that many audiences will enjoy.
Acting Quality (3 points)
The acting is the strongest section of this film since there are no real errors to point out here. This is a very encouraging acting job to witness, as emotions are all believable and line delivery is very much on point. The costuming is also authentic, which show great effort. This rounds out a very respectable creation.
Conclusion
We desperately need more Christian film making groups and creative teams who are consistently committed to rolling out movies that are quality on all fronts. Five- and six-point ratings should be the norm in Christian film, as Worldwide Pictures always did. If this were the case in Christian entertainment, we would be looking at a completely new field filled with greater opportunities and successes.
Final Rating: 6 out of 10 points
