It is a question you may want to ask yourself. We are talking about an inferior movie, with inferior performances ... but with the heart in the right place. Now whether you believe in God or not (though I reckon if you don't the message delivered here - especially in that very weak effort, will make you feel sick),the movie means well.
It is about not being victimized, about helping others and so forth. Now of course the movie is also trying to help with the image of the church ... so you could call it propaganda ... I will not tell you what to think of this. But I am telling you that relatively subjectively speaking, the movie has a lot of issues ... predictable, over the top and so forth. The fact that prime showed this with curse words silenced ... which I assume is how the Church or the religious backers of this wanted it to be released ... well it does not help its case. It's up to you what to make of this ... you've been warned
The Touch
2005
Action / Drama
Plot summary
Hannah Moore knew real life. The daily fight to build an existence on her own terms sustained Hannah and held at bay the grief of being used as a plaything first by her father and then by a succession of boys and men. As far as Hannah knew, this world offers no handouts. Her struggle to find work that wouldn't be affected by a previous stint in prison began to seem an impossible dream. At the same time a nearby church was bitterly divided by a proposal to provide practical assistance and shelter to homeless women. The Touch doesn't sugar-coat the attitudes of those opposed to the project or the difficulties faced during the process of establishing and administering the shelter. Hannah's fighting spirit wouldn't entertain the idea of seeking help at such a place, but after losing hope and trying to finish herself off with a concoction of pills and vodka, Hannah is referred by social services to the church's shelter. Just as she did while in prison, Hannah initially looks only for the quickest way of escape from the refuge. Her journey toward discovering grace and a love that isn't bound by "give and take" is hesitant, and something she's slow to comprehend as a possibility.

Refreshing and heartfelt entertainment
Touch was one of the most "touching" films I have ever seen. It pulls at your heart strings and shows you what true Christian love is all about. People wear the WWJD (what would Jesus do) attire but don't always do what he would do. This is a wonderful example of what Jesus would have done. If more churches reached out this way they could truly make a difference in this world. I admire the producers of this film for taking the risk (just like the church did) in offending someone and creating a wonderful and unforgettable film. May there be more like this produced.

Heartwarming film.
Firstly, this movie isn't really religious propaganda. What I saw was very little to do with religion and more to do with a woman simply overcoming one of the hardest lifestyles known to all of North America.
It is about the struggles of Hannah, and the people who helped her. It hasn't made me believe, but strengthened my belief; that people can come together and work to help people in need and assist them regardless of the cost whatever it may be (monetary, stress, etc).
This movie could possibly motivate others to help people in need. I feel while it might not be a must-see movie; its inspirational.
Some of the acting is questionable, and some of the acting is remarkable.
The movie is overall, excellent. It is a wonderful blend of unpredictable dramatics. The casting couldn't have been better. Enjoy this movie, I know I sure did.
