Review by iamvirtue

The Shift

9/10

Makes you think

I believe this film was written and acted with one intention - to make you think. With that in mind, I think there is at least one layer of meaning some people may miss. (Kind of like 'don't judge a book by its cover.') In another review of this film, the reviewer used the word gloomy. But, do we not live in a gloomy world? Are we not surrounded by darkness? How many of us see the darkness? Isn't it well hidden behind modern day benefactors?!

Quietly woven into the story or more questions - Is faith in God important? Can we pray our way out of difficult circumstances? Are we placing hope where we should place it or where we shouldn't? If we hold on to our faith in God during tough times, will we be blessed?

Kristoffer Polaha did a fantastic job, as did all the other actors. Definitely worth watching. Go see this film and then go home and ponder it's many layers of meaning!
