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.

I understand that the point of the movie is about '**letting go** of hatred and sadness which was caused by a great injustice' and it's a good message.

But doing so in a religious setting, where God is literally in front of you and can answer your questions, without addressing the qu More

**If forgiving is that easily convincible, then welcome to the crime world!**

A novel based film. A religious themed film. It has a message, BUT could be a bad message for today's world. Because how the event was dealt with the story only encourages the crime, in reality. Wise people can say phil More

As a person who doesn't believe in any sort of gods, somehow, I watched this movie.
And I have to say that I almost regretted immediately the wasted time. But not fully, and here is why.

Disclaimer: I haven't read the novel; whatever I say pertains only to the movie.
