Movies have a unique ability to provoke profound contemplation on existential and spiritual matters, leading viewers to ponder the concept of God. Filmmakers often use visual and narrative mediums to explore questions about faith, purpose, and the human condition. Whether through allegorical tales, philosophical discussions, or the portrayal of transcendent experiences, movies can catalyze introspection and open a space for viewers to grapple with their beliefs.
In certain films, the exploration of moral dilemmas, the search for meaning, or portraying extraordinary events can evoke a sense of the divine. The cinematic medium allows for depicting mystical or supernatural elements that prompt audiences to reflect on the mysteries of existence. Through powerful storytelling and compelling visuals, movies can stimulate discussions about spirituality, ethics, and the interconnectedness of life, encouraging viewers to engage with questions that resonate with the concept of God and the metaphysical aspects of human existence.

The Shift completely nails it. I could feel the message they were trying to convey, and the cast could too. Neal McDonough as The Benefactor was his best role yet. He was The Benefactor. He made the character! That was a joy to watch. His scenes were my favorite of the whole movie. Kristoffer Polaha as Kevin was just as good but in the opposite way. His character struggles but never gives up. They were both a joy to watch.
I highly recommend this movie, my fingers are crossed that it receives the praise it deserves.
Grade: A
About The Peetimes: I have 2 Peetimes for you. I strongly urge you to use the 1st Peetime, the rest of the movie has such a strong message that trying to summarize it is almost impossible.

I’ve loved this app for years and use it at the theater and home. Super easy to use and so helpful to know when it’s a good time to run for the restroom. I notify my kids when it’s close to time, so I don’t end up running them to the restroom multiple times. (Updated review from 4 to 5 . I’d had an issue with the app while at the theater and it was quickly resolved with FANTASTIC customer service. Thanks, RunPee!)
