    An engaging, beautiful film about my favorite author
    As CS Lewis' biggest fan I think my opinion counts for something, and I absolutely loved this movie. I've also seen the play it's based on (twice) and thought the filmmakers did a wonderful job transforming it for the screen. The cinematography is beautiful, the acting is great, and everything is very faithful to Lewis and his world. It was fun seeing Tolkien and The Great Knock portrayed on film, and I loved seeing Oxford and the Kilns. If you're a fan of Lewis' fiction but don't know much about his personal life, this is a fantastic introduction; and if you've read Surprised By Joy twice (which I have), you'll still find it delightfully surprising and informative. My only criticism is that I would have liked a little more dramatization instead of so much monologuing, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was an incredibly well-made film. It feels like an intimate conversation with Jack himself, and Max McLean brings him to life so beautifully, what's not to love?
