The Shack

I first saw this movie years after it was released on Netflix and had me crying. Im not much of a crier but the meaning of the movie is what many of us struggle with, finding and knowing God and finding Him again. We all have our losses and this movie helped me not only to heal after losing my mom but also to find God again. This is a must watch and must have.

Watched this for Octavia and Sam but all of the actors did a great job. Dont agree with the religious overtones but liked the message of forgiveness and love.

It doesnt matter if you are a newly devout Christian or have known God your whole life, this movie is for everyone! The cast was terrific and played their part very well. But the message behind this movie is truly astounding and beautiful. It answered questions that I didnt even know needed answering. It made some ideas that can be hard to understand into something that could be understood. There was some laughter and a lot of crying but I can tell you that it was worth it!

I was leery of watching this because Ive heard mixed reviews on this movie. So I asked for discernment and asked God to show me anything I might learn from this movie and help me not to be deceived in any ways from this film. In the first 15 minutes or so it didt feel quite right. But I stepped back from the literal interpretation of it, and seeing the bigger picture I can see it as a good way to explain Gods love for all of us. It didnt delve into evil really at all, which makes it a bit incomplete to me. One main message of this movie was that bad things are allowed because of Gods mercy and love for each of us, even those who do wrong or bad things. While that is truth, it is not the complete picture. Perhaps that aspect was left out because many or most Christians really dont take spiritual warfare seriously. Since we battle not with flesh and blood but against spirits and principalities (Ephesians 6:12), including that may have made it a truer picture. I didnt really think it was necessary to make God a female in the role, I think a male could have gotten the same message across. But that part really wasnt important, it was seeing the attributes of God that was the message, that He is loving and with us always. I am glad they included the message about forgiving others

What a beautiful creation of Papa’s heart for His children ❤️ Love the scene in the cave - so much untangled so simply

Nice presentation of forgiveness and how to be free of feeling guilty from tragedies that affects our life and family members.

This movie is absolutely amazing. If you are struggling this is a must see. Make sure you have your box of tissues handy.

If you liked the book, youll love the movie!

I wish the whole world would watch this movie!!

Such a beautiful film from beginning to end. The actors and vibe of the film is so beautiful. Love, love, love it!
