A Wonderful Story, But for Education not Entertainment

This is a wonderfully told story, but I would not watch it if you're expecting to be passively entertained. This is thought provoking movie.The story moves rather slowly, but it shows insight to the conversion of C. S. Lewis. It's not told in such a way to convince people that Jesus is the Christ, but as a mater-of-fact approach. It's not a full biography of the man, but a portion of his life where he changed some of his beliefs and why.It's a great story for anyone - regardless of their religious convictions. It is especially interesting if you like C. S. Lewis' writings. Whether it be the Screwtape Letters or the Chronicles of Narnia, if you like C. S. Lewis' writing, I think this movie will give you some insight to the mind of Mr. Lewis.

It felt like reading an interesting & short book in one hour, I really loved it.

It was the first movie I saw that felt exactly like reading a book, which to me is a great thing if the book is interesting and well narrated. The flow of the movie is perfect, it's funny, the cinematography is top notch and it was very well acted. I liked the narrator, C. S. Lewis himsefl, played by Max McClean, being inside the story and being filmed as a travelling shot. The text is engaging and delivered with expression, if you care to follow the change of mind of a man's position before the belief in God, pay attention to what's being said and you will pick up well constructed arguments against materialism that I see myself using to explain my beliefs to others, because this movie achieves that kind of clarity. It's like watching moments of epiphany, without the fireworks of other lives and stories of people that converted to something spiritual. Christianity is not oversold and it's actually not the main theme of the movie. This is about C. S. Lewis spiritual journey and it fits many beliefs and religions, it's just a personal path, but one that can be universal if people want to read it like that. Some critics here say it's too slow, too short or boring but I think if it was longer than one hour it would ruin its effect. Didn't feel neither boring and certainly not slow, the story is always told with movement and the entire movie flows very smoothly, never getting stuck or dragging. I already think that I will share this movie with some friends, hope more people do that too.
