The Healer

I didn't have much hope for the movie based on the actors as they're not well known... however I'm very glad I took the time to watch it. Oliver Jackson-Cohen played a very good role for this well written, somewhat emotionally tugging (in a good way) script.

There isn't anything specifically that will jump out to you or blow you away, however by the end, you'll feel very rewarded by what comes to light as the overall reason the movie was written and produced has one of the best undertones I've seen from anything in movies recently. There isn't a huge God based message in the movie, despite being about faith and something bigger.

Overall, I think Paul Newman would absolutely give The Healer a thumbs up. Most will be happy they spent the time to watch and feel emotionally rewarded for their time. Despite this movie not costing much to make, it's certainly one of the better flicks I've seen this year.

A sweet old fashion feel good movie, with a little love story built in. It's worth your time.

It'll give you a few tears, and a smile, with a few laughs.

Loved the dedication to Paul Newman in the credits as I'm a big fan of his Hole in the Wall camp. A TV quality script (think Hallmark Channel) but elevated with the likes of Jonathan Price and especially the lead performance by Oliver Jackson-Cohen, whose wide range of emotions was fully credible and moving at times. Held my attention and, these days, such warm-hearted films are a welcome panacea to the mean-spirited nature of our politics. We could all use a lesson or two in being more aware of the suffering of others and what extending a kind word or deed can do to alleviate suffering. Embrace the message and the spirit of this gift.

The movie The Healer is a great example of who we are and what we are able to do to make a change in society, but if we don't realize that we have the power to make a better world, we are condemned to be victims of what is happening all around us. Make a change in someone's life: smile at them, greet everyone, do your job, forgive others.

Cute movie Super cute leads But very made for tv/Hallmarky
