Observing an intriguing near 2-hour debate —Does God exist? This is an intellectual movie, rather than action packed. The filming is beautiful, seems very European and almost old-fashioned. The script is thought provoking as you follow a neurologist who discovered psychoanalysis conversing with a Christian author who wrote The Chronicles of Narnia. Also, the events just happen to take place on the day before WWII begins. Both gentlemen are equally brilliant as they are stubborn, as seen with each of the many discussions-turned-arguments that take place. Transitions and flashbacks are heavily utilized to portray character depth. Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Goode showcase their individual acting talent with long monologues and fluctuating emotions and director Matt Brown keeps the viewer engaged by allowing us to be an unbiased fly on the wall rather than purposely tilting the conversation in one direction. The story feels restrained, most likely due to the subject matter, but that won’t affect the enjoyable experience that many will have.
