A Week Away Review

A troubled teenager takes a leap of faith by attending summer camp, where he finds love, friends and a place to belong

Netflix

What drew me to watch this film was being a musical movie. The preview actually made me think of Camp Rock. Due to already loving Camp Rock, I had a feeling I would enjoy this movie. What was interesting is that I thought of Winterlight while watching A Week Away. Especially during the “Awesome God” scene.

So this camp was kinda of similar in a way. With no where else to go, Will attends camp for the first time. Despite this troubled past, he finds love in Avery and in God and finds a place where he truly belongs. The songs were memorable- both catchy and some more emotional.
