Very well done but still has so much potential
I am a fan of CS Lewis and of the Fellowship for Performing Arts. I have seen The Most Reluctant Convert on stage. It is an excellent stage play. The movie version is faithful to the stage production. But when utilizing a visual medium, I think the script could have been augmented to be less monologue and have more of an emotional connection through the interaction of the actors. I believe the other actors are probably excellent and I would love to have seen more. But otherwise the production quality was very high and Max McLean did a beautiful job reflecting CS Lewis’ spiritual journey.
A good attempt, but unfulfilling
So main actor worked hard for what is a difficult film: a philosophical treatise.Unfortunately, though I love CS Lewis’ writing, the philosophical trajectory is naive. To be honest, it paints CS Lewis as a lonely child from a wealthy background, who read alot. It’s just simply that the philosophical developed seems quite shallow… Possibly because critical thinking in many social sciences and classics is itself quite superficial. But anyway, I believe there are much more formidable reasons for being Christian which aren’t touched by the thoughts presented. Anyway, it seemed a good attempt but fundamentally wasn’t gripping or satisfying. I guess I felt disappointed because I’m a ruthlessly logical person who also believes in God. Could the film have been done better? Not sure, it’s a challenge to have one person giving a philosophical monologue with a background of his life (which the older CS Lewis walked in and out of).
If you’re not interested in CS Lewis, you’ll hate this film. If you do, you may find it provides a passing interest.
