Makes you consider things that you may have trouble wrapping your mind around.

Inspiring

Love this movie, its warm, sad, funny, full of emotions. I recommend it.

A truly well done movie ablut Gods love

Movies do not make me cry,, but i was wiping tears during this one. Loved it

Man oh man I use to laugh at my wife when ever she would start shading tears and I never ever shade a tear for any movie in my whole life and Im 60 years old but this one here got me crying like a baby you hear me, I just love this movie so I called my wife and told her e have to watch this movie with the kids.

A tough hard to explain and sensitive to discuss has been eloquently handled.

The movie is amazing. I cant say enough about it. If you grew up in fundamental or reformed Christianity, you will probably struggle with this movie. But do yourself a favor and watch it anyway. And watch interviews that Wayne Jacobsen gives on this movie, where he explains there thinking behind it. Its not meant to the be Bible, they never meant for it to be. As an example, the reason they chose God to be played by a black female actress is because the main author (that initially wrote this book for his children) was dismissed by his church for adultery. And I dont mean asking him to step down from being a pastor (because of course that is a natural thing to expect), but asking him and his family to leave their local church altogether. The only one from their church (as I remember it) that came to extend love, and the love of God, was an African American woman from their church. She understood that more than ever, their family needed connection, support and love. Its little things like this that helped me better understood the meaning behind the movie. I struggled with it in the beginning (the book), but was better able to understand the message meant in it later when it came out as a movie.

There are some hokey parts, but the subject matter dealing with forgiveness is very real. Forgiveness is for you, not the offending person. If you struggle understanding this, this may help you.
