Komarnicki informed The Christian Post“Life is simply much better with optimum Lauren Daigle in it. She shines from the within out and brightens with utter poignancy the fact of this film’s message.”

Bonhoeffer’s message resonates today, Komarnicki stated, when numerous “individuals are dividing, evaluating, identifying” others. “This story challenges us to consider who we are, what we represent, and what it implies to live by grace instead of judgment,” he stated.

In addition, “Bonhoeffer” is “a movie about a Christian” instead of “a Christian movie,” the director stated. Komanicki compared his brand-new film to “Chariots of Fire,” as it is for all kinds of audiences.

“This story has to do with one guy’s position versus wicked itself,” according to Komarnicki.”[Bonhoeffer] wasn’t brave. He had doubts, concerns, and worries like anybody else. He was driven to act due to the fact that he saw the church’s ethical responsibility to stand versus the othering and injustice of others.”
