    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.
