Interview avec Dieu

A Christian(?) film about salvation, love, repentance and forgiveness - although the route by which we are reconciled to God, Jesus, is only lightly touched. If you could talk to God, face to face, what questions would you ask? Think hard here, our protagonist asked some questions the were really complaints, and some questions to which he knew the answers, but refused to accept he did. Atheists and sceptics spin round in circles pointing to this and that as evidence that God does not exist. They never seem to look inwards and compare themselves to the standards they expect others to live up to. A world of perfect people would be perfect, and in this excellent movie God keeps turning our hero back round to examine his own life that he so bitterly complains about. Eventually Paul gets the message. He made the mess, and it's within his own power to fix his life.

There were moments of theological weakness, but I liked the God character. Patient, loving and generous. I thought it was right, we don't want easy answers or quick fixes from God, our free will and drive would be destroyed. The character Paul was at the lower end of spiritual maturity, at first. Proud, stubborn and determined to avoid responsibility, whatever the cost. Insisting God wave his magic wand. At the end of the movie he has grown considerably, grasping his life and transforming it, using the wisdom gained from his encounter with God.

Watch this movie, learn how love, repentance, forgiveness and reconciliation can transform your life, Christian or not.....

This movie had the potential to be really good. Good acting, good storyline but fell off dramatically as you see it continually go no where. There's never really a reason given for the "interview". The back story is extremely limited. It was more of God intervening than an interview. Though I typically give religious movies the benefit of doubt, I just can't help but doubt who wrote this.

First of all, it's another of those God is the Supreme Being stories and does not answers much. Both the actors did a pretty good job and were good, sadly the story was not that great. More or less this is a movie that will mostly appeal to theist and to be particular, only Christians. More or less a sister movie to 'God is not dead'.

Not worth a watch on big screen, you will regret the tickets and the 4x price popcorns.

This is a very philosophical movie and i believe anyone with philosophical and theological interests would like it. But the good parts are when the interview takes place, between them the movie becomes a little boring and personally I did not like the protagonist's acting. But the actor who plays God is amazing and his scenes well acted and well written.

Ken Aguado has written a clever script about spirituality, that emphasizes questions rather than answers, and includes some unexpected plot twists. The acting is uniformly good. David Strathairn provides a convincing performance as God. The music is haunting and sets the tone beautifully. One drawback about seeing this film in the theater was the jarring cut to an irreverent interviewer at the end, before the credits. I would have preferred some time (with a little music) to contemplate the movie themes, followed perhaps by some suggested discussion questions that groups could use as a starting point for sharing their reactions. Sorry, but the tacked on interview was really awful.
