The Shack

My wife and I enjoyed this interesting portrayal of the holy trinity with a nice twist at the end.

It doesnt matter if you are a newly devout Christian or have known God your whole life, this movie is for everyone! The cast was terrific and played their part very well. But the message behind this movie is truly astounding and beautiful. It answered questions that I didnt even know needed answering. It made some ideas that can be hard to understand into something that could be understood. There was some laughter and a lot of crying but I can tell you that it was worth it!

I loved this movie and will re-watch it, but I also was aware during a lot of it my surface mind was saying this is such a Hallmark thin feel good thing. I let the judgments come and go and stayed with the theme and wept in several parts because it touched that sense of separation I feel so often. I hope watching this film brings you healing, peace and a renewed sense of wonder. You are loved. <3

I love watching this movie it is a reminder to keep going in life.

Touching and intelligent. Very well done and very much needed!!

Such a good portrayal of how our relationship should be with the God the father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

I loved this movie!!!

This was an excellent rendition of the novel. I had tears in my eyes for most of the scenes set in the shack with the three persons of the trinity. The way the story depicts Gods immense love for His creation is brilliant. Yes, at times a little preachy but Im okay with it. I loved the 3 choices of actors for the Father, Son and Spirit. Fabulous. And the intensity of their connection and love for Mac was beautiful to watch. I kept saying to God, this is what I want, Lord; to live like this. And crazy to think its how He wants us to live with Him, always staying close and dependent on Him. The story does a great job exploring the mysteries of why does God allow suffering, the role evil plays in the world, the importance of forgiveness and our own susceptibility to being judges of right and wrong. All good reminders for me. I watched the DVD with a non-believer who found it a tad boring and I can understand that. As she said, theres a very specific market for this movie and as far as she was concerned she wasnt it. Which made me sad. However, Im sure the Lord will use this story to convict many non-believers and be another link in the chain that draws them to Him. The scenery is gorgeous and the representation of the shack when God is present is beautiful. And there are laughs as well but I wont spoil it by mentioning the scenes. Im sure Ill be watching it again soon.

Healing!

Great movie with excellent acting and a wonderful message.
