COME UNTO ME

Cinemavixion Review

John Lyde's 'Come Unto Me' offers a tender, albeit brief, exploration of faith and resilience through the eyes of two young siblings, Samuel and Mary. Fleeing Roman soldiers, their perilous journey takes an unexpected turn when they encounter a woman and her son, Jesus. The narrative skillfully portrays the children's innocent curiosity about John the Baptist and their eventual, life-altering meeting with Jesus. Caddis Adams, Alix Cave, and Dan Fowlks deliver performances that capture the vulnerability and burgeoning understanding of their characters. While the film is a short production, its emotional core resonates, presenting a poignant glimpse into a pivotal moment in biblical history, highlighting themes of survival, compassion, and divine encounter.
