For me, it was too sweet a story to be bothered by the things some other reviewers were annoyed by. As I'm not an atheist, angels are not forbidden territory. As I'm not a fundamentalist religious guy, metaphysics are also fine. And I admit to being a sucker for redemption movies, be it this, Shawshank, or American History X.
Of course this was not on the same level as those two, and it didn't have to be. I felt warm, felt good inside after watching this. So to anyone who feels any kinship to what I said here, give this a watch. You will also be rewarded with some sublime cinematography.
Actually my one complaint was not with the movie, it was with Tubi, which NEVER lets a movie's credits and outro music go to the end before starting another movie that you DIDN'T select. And I believe that in this case, it mattered a lot, since the final scenes of this movie were being shown as the credits were rolling - with what very well may have been the final very important one. Spoiler alert: the guinea pig. I knew it would happen. But I knew it likely didn't end there either; the final last scenes - thanks Tubi - we don't get to see.
