“HE IS ALL THAT MATTERS 7” REVIEW

“He Is All That Matters” is one movie whose message has stayed with me for a long time. A question I’ve had since its third instalment is regarding its identity: is it a movie with sequels, a series with episodes, or something in between? But now, having seen Part 7, I think it’s clear: it’s a series in the body of a feature film. That understanding helps shape my expectations, and I’m no longer pensive when it turns out the story yet continues.

Part 7 picks up from where the last ended, with the tragic car accident involving Pastor Moses and Pastor George. While Moses survives in a coma, George is pronounced dead. Forgiveness, once again, becomes a central theme as Jane, George’s estranged wife, heartbroken and bitter, initially shuts out Rhoda and her children, only to be gently challenged by Eunice and ultimately convicted by the Spirit of God. Though George’s death was tragic, I’m glad he was able to make restitutions before going to be with the Lord. His final words, shared by Pastor Moses, provide closure to a long, turbulent arc as his two wives begin the peaceful living he desired.

The story then shifts to the Edochies, the family ‘responsible’ for Hezron’s death and the consequent loss of faith by the entire family of the deceased. They further err by refusing George’s burial in their church. Pastor Edochie is nearly swept away again by his wife’s overbearing attitude, but conviction finds him, and in a sobering encounter with the Holy Spirit, he’s reminded that God’s call is not to be shifted, even to a spouse. Like 1 Kings 13 reminds us, when God gives an instruction, we are to hold fast to it regardless of external pressure.

Though we’re told that the Edochies later repented and sought forgiveness, I believe the film missed a significant opportunity here. Instead of merely hearing Susan recount the moment to her in-laws to-be, the Ademuleros, it would have been far more impactful to see that moment unfold. For a woman like Mrs Edochie — stern, manipulative and unrepentant across previous parts — to finally break, weep and seek forgiveness would have provided a cathartic visual moment and a powerful testimony of divine transformation. In cinema, some things are best seen, not just said.

This seventh film ends with the subplot of Towela, and Bande who returns, hoping to reunite with his family. Towela, understandably hesitant, must now face a tough decision. As with many earlier parts, this storyline ends on a cliffhanger, leaving us wondering what path she’ll take. It’s a compelling way to keep the series alive, and it works.

Technically, there’s some commendable cinematography here. Also, the doctor’s performance stands out for its professional polish.

Conclusively, “He Is All That Matters 7” continues the series’ strong emphasis on forgiveness and upholding God’s will as paramount. And as Susan’s story shows, when we trust God beyond the failures of men, He always honours our faith.
