It is impossible to capture the essence of infinite love, sublime mercy or unrelenting grace. When faced with even the shadow of these things, we walk away with more questions than answers. This film can't do it. The book tried it's best. We only truly see it in Jesus. But, eventually you have to find these answers in the submission of trust. We need to learn to trust God. That being said, I'm glad for films and books that point us in the right direction. Let's keep trying to reflect these big truths. I give this movie a 7 (good) out of 10, for a decent adaptation and some fine performances, especially Octavia Spencer and Alice Braga. I give the book a 9 (superb) out of 10.

Had to stop watching. One could forgive the general faith content, but the gaps in story telling are weird.
Further, what overflew my patience, is when the main protagonist question his christian believe directly with "god" (one-on-one). No direct answers, non-logical answers, yet he is ok with it. That when the story got broken for me.
Unless you are devout christian, I do not recommend, it will drive you nuts.

@douseks I agree completely. The film would have worked as a sarcastic parody on Christianism, but they were actually serious about it.

@blueskygeneral Same. I had to shut it off. I was on the fence and bored to death, but the deal was sealed 45 minutes in.

I don't know why was I looking forward to this. It's disappointing.

Wouldn't it be great if god showed up like this in real life, and not just dreams and fiction.

I have to admit I watched this because Tim McGraw was in it, and i guess I loved the poster. Strange reasons for watching a film, I guess it's a little like buying a bottle of wine. if you like the look of a label you're more likely to buy it. I digress.

I really enjoyed the movie and went through a range of emotions. Wonderful characters and great storytelling. It never felt forced. Oh and such an emotional ending!!

If God was merely an abstract thought, this film would be preposterous. Despite your reservations, God is real, so while the film still comes across as manipulative, there is truth to the notions presented. Be open minded and you may find meaning to your own life.
