Movie Review<\/p>\n
An old hymn says, \u201cGod moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform.\u201d Naomi, who recently lost her son and husband, believes that finding love, true love, is one of those wonders.<\/p>\n
But she also believes the first half of that lyric, that God may guide us to love in ways we never expected. Yes, love starts with truth and trust. But sometimes it can also start in tragedy.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s exactly where we get the story of Ruth and Boaz from the Bible, albeit in a modern narrative context here. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Ruth Moably is dating Naomi\u2019s son, Marlon. And she\u2019s on the track to stardom. She and her singing partner, Breana, have just been offered an eight-figure recording deal from a Grammy-winning producer. But the music they\u2019ve been performing lately just isn\u2019t feeding her spirit.<\/p>\n
The women used to write and sing songs about love, empowerment and social consciousness. However, when those songs failed to put them on the map, they copped out, writing catchier tunes about power, money and fame.<\/p>\n
Ruth is prepared to leave it all behind when that tragedy I mentioned strikes: Marlon and his father, Eli, are shot during a carjacking. \u2026 And neither of them pulls through.<\/p>\n
Sylas, Ruth\u2019s manager, tries to manipulate Ruth into staying in Atlanta, to fulfill her contract for the recording deal. But it\u2019s too much for the young singer.<\/p>\n
Instead, Ruth hops on a bus with Naomi to Pegram, Tennessee, Naomi\u2019s hometown.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere you go, I go,\u201d Ruth informs the older woman.<\/p>\n
Still grieving, Naomi isn\u2019t sure she wants Ruth along for the ride. But as it turns out, Ruth is exactly the person Naomi needs to take care of her.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s more, Ruth soon meets Bo Azra (Boaz for short), an old family friend of Naomi\u2019s. And Boaz turns out to be exactly the person Ruth needs to take care of her. <\/p>\n
Ruth and Naomi are both still grieving. But it\u2019s like the old hymn says: \u201cGod moves in mysterious ways.\u201d And these two women are about to learn more about love than they ever expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Movie Review An old hymn says, \u201cGod moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform.\u201d Naomi, who…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171691,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,134,344],"class_list":["post-171690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171690"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171690\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
