The Shack attempts to offer a message of redemption, but it does so in such an explicit and moralistic manner that it ends up alienating any viewer who does not share the film's religious vision. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/10 | Sep 11, 2024

Essentially a parable at its core, like the book, the film challenges traditional Christian viewpoints, notably in the visual interpretation of God.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 30, 2019

The Shack is as graceless as its monosyllabic title.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 5, 2019

The Shack is far from profound or thought provoking, but it's not as harmful or hurtful to outsiders as most doctrinally centered films tend to be.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 20, 2018

The Shack isn't going to change any minds or bring the unfaithful closer to God, but it'll preach to the choir in its sappy, inoffensive manner.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 31, 2018

A joyless cheesy Christian faith -based drama that might not even appeal to mice.

| Original Score: D | Aug 23, 2018

Playing like an afternoon 온라인카지노추천 movie made by a God channel, this has to be the strangest film of the year.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 23, 2018

Here is a new propaganda exhibition of pseudo-Christian cinema... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 6, 2017

... it seems that we are facing a perfect symptom of that supermarket spirituality that already has a large supply in the publishing market.

The Shack does address the questions of a grieving and bitter father in need of healing through its theological references.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 20, 2017

Perhaps there are Christians who will appreciate The Shack's Oprahfied universal heaven, wherein no bad deed goes punished. But it made us pine for the Book of Job God to spitefully hurl leviathans and behemoths.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 28, 2017

The film deals in starkly spiritual terms with the issues of loss, hatred and forgiveness, and raises a lot of common questions about who's side God is on...In a brave performance, Worthington brings a salty edge to his character.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 27, 2017

Ghastly.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 12, 2017

A few of the discussions are quite knotty, but the whole thing is still too steeped in American mawkishness to have a chance with anyone unpersuaded by that form of worship.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 12, 2017

Making a sincere film about religious faith is a tricky thing to pull off. And this folksy dose of misguided manipulation demonstrates many of the common pitfalls.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 11, 2017

Touchy-feely New Age therapy runs headlong into evangelical Christianity in The Shack.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 9, 2017

To approach spirituality on screen and maintain a sense of enchantment is a hurdle many a filmmaker have fallen over - and it's one that Stuart Hazeldine has struggled with.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 9, 2017

This is more of a sermon than a movie, so its appeal will very much depend on where you stand on that kind of thing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 8, 2017

It's a film that asks the right questions, but the answers aren't really dramatically persuasive.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 8, 2017

Good intentions, but far too earnest to appeal to anyone beyond those who believe you can fight a true crisis of the soul with a campfire and some Kumbaya.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 8, 2017
