Review of The Shack (2017) by Donna A — 05 Mar 2017

The film was excellent and true to the book. There are no easy fixes as the main character after surviving an abusive childhood and an unimaginable tragedy comes face to face with God and explores the eternal questions.

Questions include why does God allow suffering and why does God allow the people who cause suffering to get away with it? The trifold nature of God as father-son-spirit is beautifully portrayed, and the cinematography from the makers of Life of Pi is breathe taking.

This is an engaging film with real characters, raw pain, and important wisdoms about loving, forgiveness, trusting God, moving beyond ones painful past, and living life fully.
