From the songs of his mother's heart to the whispers of a faithful God, David's story begins in quiet devotion. When the giant Goliath rises to terrorize a nation, a young shepherd armed with only a sling, a few stones, and unshakable faith steps forward. Pursued by power and driven by purpose, his journey tests the limits of loyalty, love, and courage--culminating in a battle not just for a crown, but for the soul of a kingdom.

3/5
The film’s strengths are in the vitality of its animation and the beauty of its settings. ...Its flaws lie in its evangelical moments which sit oddly with its Disneyfied tone but that doesn’t seem to be deterring audiences. Go to Full Review
Guy Lodge Variety Dec 23
A proficient family entertainment that’s nonetheless a little too precision-engineered to feel truly stirring. Faith, “David” has in spades; soul, not so much. Go to Full Review

3/4
Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes — who also wrote the screenplay — venture beyond that well-known slab of the story to give us another timeless moral tale about standing up for what we believe and doing the best for our community. Go to Full Review

3/5
The biblical yarn gets a rather good rendering here as a faith-based family film telling the tale of the boy-king with the help of high-quality animation and a clutch of catchy songs. Things do get dark, yet the film is fashioned for easy ingestion. Go to Full Review
