The Reason (I) (2020)
9/10
Where is God when bad things happen?
16 August 2023
Excellent portrayal of the amazingly good and extraordinarily hard things of this life.

The Reason wasn't ashamed to go to hard places... and if you've lived long enough to read this review I'd guess you've had perplexing circumstances and seen bad things seem to happen to good people.

Cast was superb. I so appreciated that this movie portrayed hope yet did so without going to the unrealistic places that some dramas do. Tackled the age old question "where is God when...?" with sensitivity in a compelling way that rang true. It also avoided the extreme and false premises of either a perspective that no miracles exist or a perspective that if we but ask (or claim) in the right way we always get everything we wish for in this life.

Lots of great lines. If you like me read reviews before watching a movie and are on the fence about this one, just watch it!
