"This movie was very touching! It showed me once again how important love is, especially to those we might esteem as the least in our "perfect system". I hope this is a wakeup call to many people."

"Definitely a heartfelt tear-jerker in more ways than I can count… but you know what? I felt peace at the end."

"I have just watched "Let Me Have My Son". I found it absolutely touching and insightful."

"Heart wrenching. An incredibly sad movie. I'm just glad that the guy behind the inspiration is still alive, and doing okay because through most of the movie, I thought he was dead."

"This was an excellent movie... I cried watching it. It touched home for me because I, too, have a son with mental illness. As a parent, you never give up, but trying to help your loved one comes with many struggles, difficult decisions and much pain. I lived the movie, the love and compassion it showed to others and this particular population. Well done!"

"Best movie I have watched in 2023. So touching and eye-opening as to what families and people with mental illness go through."

"Holy cow, I started this because my roommate had it on and I walked in and started watching it and I had one of the most profound emotional experiences in my life. It made me laugh, cry, it’s self-aware, it’s amazing for people whose lives have been touched by mental illness, all of it. I cannot stress enough how much we needed this movie! Masterpiece."

"Amazing film, a father's dedication is no less than a mother’s."

"The movie was powerful and heartfelt, capturing my attention right from the start. The soundtrack was expressive and beautiful, the acting skillful and complex on many levels. The writing, too, gave the story an outstanding depth, showing mental illness in a new light and bringing home the message that love is relentless. This is one of the best movies on mental illness I have ever seen and, I believe, will go down in history as a classic."

"So raw and beautifully done… so much like God and His love for us. We can't give up on each other. We just can't."

"I cried pretty much through the whole movie."

"I have several severe mental health diagnoses and can't live on my own anymore. I am going to be homeless soon. I wish I had someone who loved me and fought for me. So, I’m pretending like Daniel’s father cares about me, too. I know that’s ridiculous because he has never met me. But it brings me some happiness to think so, which means it can't be too bad, right? Please pray that I can find a way to not believe that God hates me."

"The story resonated with us as we try to figure out how best to love our only son who lives with serious mental illness. May God use this film to bring HOPE and healing to many broken hearts as it did to ours."

"I enjoyed the movie very much! Held my attention all the way through."

"I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I watched it in the morning with a hot cup of coffee. I woke up feeling anxious that morning for some reason and decided to watch this movie and pressed play. I ended the movie with a box of Kleenex and convinced it was a message from God. It was what I needed in that moment. A reminder in the midst of the daily chaos of life... that love and faith can endure all hardships. And to cherish each moment with my children and family - you just never know what could happen that could change the course of life as you know it. It's been a while since I've seen a film that moved me so much. 5 stars. Highly recommend watching this!"

"I am still recovering from the experience of watching the film, but in a good way.  If you meant to draw the audience into the experience, you succeeded.  If you meant to convey the essence of what goes on in the psych ward of an institution,  you succeeded. If you meant to bring hope into a very, very dark and depressing life story, the ending did so, showing the son in a good place in his life."

"I didn’t know what to expect from the film, but the timing was perfect. My brother is currently exhausted dealing with the mental illness of his 18-year-old son. The movie was inspirational and a great reminder to continue to support them in their challenges and hardships. I wish you all continued success with the film!"

"The film is excellent in exposing so many levels of having a mentally ill child. I’m actually in a bit of an emotional daze right now trying to process all that I’m feeling and thinking. But what stands out to me beyond the terrible grief, beyond the joys and hope, beyond the disturbing unknowns and all the living of life in between, is that Love Prevails."

"One of the best films of the century! It dives into the reality and surrealism of having a loved one living with mental illness and the journey of learning how to live with it every single day."

"I enjoyed the film very much. It was a moving presentation of a problem increasingly common in our society. Faith and hope in God keep us in the fight and provide assurance that all will be well in the end."
