Overview
Samantha Crawford is living a storybook life: she’s happily married, she lives on a ranch where she keeps her beloved horse, and the stories she’s told and illustrated since childhood have become published books. When her husband Billy is killed in a senseless act of violence, Sam loses her faith and her will to live. But a death-defying encounter with two children leads to a reunion with Joe, her oldest friend. As Sam watches “Papa” Joe care for and love the kids in his under-resourced neighborhood, she begins to realize that no matter life’s circumstances, the love of God is always reaching out to us.

This inspirational drama, while trafficking in cliches, manages not to deliver its message too heavily.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

Contrived and simplistic.

Unconditional is a little movie with a big heart, a message film that doesn't taste like medicine.

If only McCorkle had a bit more, er, faith in his audience.
