Chasing the Rain

I just finished watching it, with a tear in my eye, what a great movie. No matter how beaten down you are, you are never out, unless you choose to be out. Very raw and brutally honest in his suffering, give it a watch, it worth the time.

Thirsting. Parched. Looking for water in all the wrong places. Chasing the Rain tackles the problem of pain and suffering with raw honesty and stark realism. For once, a film with strong Christian themes that doesn't propose God as the easy solution to all of life's problems. Here are real sinners with real struggles in a fallen world. Here is a God with hard edges, the God hidden under the cross and suffering, the Hound of Heaven in pursuit of the fleeing soul. God may appear silent in suffering, but He is present in it for the sufferer. The baptismal imagery is particularly poignant. Also fun to see N. T. Wright in what may be his film-acting debut.

I can't remember the last time I was left this moved by a movie. Contemplative, sincere, piercingly honest, tragic, healing. It wakes you to the transcendant power of hope no matter the cards you've been dealt. Every actor was perfect for their role. The melancholic pick-me-up I didn't know I needed. Watch it!

A little slow in the middle but excellent movie. Great story of truth in suffering and truth in love. Excellent acting

A thought provoking and moving film. Loved the humor moments throughout. A must see!
