Indivisible

This relationship drama about an Army chaplain and his wife struggling to cope after deployment is one of the sweeter entries in the faith-based genre. And one of the Indivisible filmmakers must be a Grey's Anatomy fan, because not only did Bruening and Drew play an off-again, on-again couple on that beloved medical soap, but Jason George (doc-turned-firefighter Ben Warren) plays supporting character Major Michael Lewis, and the chaplain's sergeant friend is named Shonda. (That's one too many Shondaland references to seem like pure coincidence.) The casting also explains why both Bruening and Drew and Bruening and George have such believable chemistry and rapport: They've worked together many times. The dialogue can be predictably preachy at times, but the performances are notably good. Bruening and Drew give a genuinely nuanced portrayal of a devoted Christian husband and wife in crisis.

The cast also includes Tia Mowry as Michael's put-upon wife, who's thrilled when she notices that Darren has begun to influence her husband's behavior toward her. Tanner Stine and Madeline Carroll play Lance and Amanda Bradley -- a young millennial couple dealing with the difficulties of being in the early years of marriage (with a baby and pregnancy to boot) and the separation and isolation that deployment brings. Director David G. Evans doesn't shy away from the residual effects of a wartime deployment. Despite his religious position and beliefs, Darren still comes home with PTSD and is unable to communicate with his wife. Naturally he and Heather overcome their struggles, but some heavy themes are explored, so the movie is most likely to appeal to Christian couples, rather than whole families.
