isla s @RT89656869 Sep 1, 2022 I loved this film - the plot (the philosophical angles), the CGI effects, the cast and characters etc. Its quite imaginative - not entirely a religious film, it pokes fun at Christianity I suppose - its definitely what I regard as a sort of surreal comedy with fantasy elements. I thought the young girl who plays Gods daughter was particularly good - she looks so innocent and naive and yet is quite the schemer and I enjoyed seeing how her father reacted to the things she did. There is, perhaps surprisingly, a sense of poignancy at times - it does at least touch on some serious themes, mainly mortality but I wouldn't say it entirely laughs off serious issues. Its a hard film to review without giving away spoilers but I felt it handled the themes well and it did make me laugh on a number of ocassions but not in a cheap way, if that makes sense. Also, one plot element made me think of the film Being John Malkovich - it is perhaps similar in terms of zany, wacky quirkiness. I also quite liked the classical music played at times, although I suppose some may think it makes it seem a bit pretentious. Personally, I thoroughly recommend this film.

Avoid if you are easily offended by jabs at traditional religion, especially Christianity (and we are Christians but believe there is still much to improve) See more Apr 17, 2021 Sacrilegious, satirical, comedic genius! See more Apr 3, 2021 Loved this. Another refreshingly original script and well acted by all. Full of surprises and witticisms. Delightful to the eyes and it tickled the imagination. Highly recommend.
