Tragedy, loss, brokeness the mental illness of a loved one whether sudden or sustained over years, plagues us all. For those of us who claim Christianity's backbone theology of a loving and personal God, trouble poses both an apologetic and a more important dilema for believers. To deny this , forces us into the stereotypical pie in the sky idiot we usually see on film. Does God sustain us or does He expect us to do something before His grace restores us. This film, unlike most faith-based cinema does us the favor of offering no answer. It leaves us with a deer in the headlights stare at the fork in the road between well meaning folks assuring us of God's control of things and our limited knowledge of an infinite God, His plan, and the abyss of unknowing why our marriage is failing, why we will die of cancer, and why our child killed himself. By asking the question and ending it unanswered makes the film unique and refreshing, even theraputic.
