The Most Reluctant Convert

My wife and I were part of a full house for the first showing at our theater. The movie was beyond our hopes and expectations. Acting is superb, costumes are perfect, music is just right. We loved the way they maintained the feel of the "one man show" while telling this amazing story of one of our favorite writers. Well done!

Very well made movie with a fun flow. I must admit I am a huge fan of Jack's, but the movie did him and his life honorably, and evoked much of the same joy, smirks, and epiphanies as his writings. Highly recommend and likely one I will buy to keep on the shelf and revisit.

A biographical , in persona kind of philosophiucal and rather decent eloquent presentation of the persona and author of british heritage c.s.lewis.

A smashing , almost solo acted version of the caracter himself, makes this one of the most beautiful portraits made for many many years.

The grumpy old man is highly impressed and therefore recommends.

For those familiar with C. S. Lewis' apologetic and philosophical works, its like meeting an old friend.

If one only knows Lewis by repuation, you will miss a lot of the "in jokes". Not jokes per se, but much of the dialogue is famous Lewis quotes delivered as conversation.

The scenery is stunning.

Max brings Lewis to life.

Must see for anyone who loves Lewis.

If you don't know his works, worth watching to see if it whets your appetite.

Interesting that Lewis is still influential now, 60 years after his death. I recently reread the space trilogy (Silent Planet, Prelandra, Hideous Strength) - highly recommended to anyone who loved Narnia as a child but now needs something more grown up. It will stretch your mind.

Long live Lewis in the conciousness of Western Civilization.

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.
