About this movie

From the Academy Award®-nominated producer of The Blind Side, The Shack is based on the New York Times best-selling novel with over 22 million copies sold worldwide about a father's life-transforming journey that shows him the truth about love, loss, and forgiveness. In the aftermath of a devastating personal tragedy, Mackenzie Allen Philips receives a mysterious note in his mailbox inviting him to The Shack. Mack responds and finds himself in the presence of God and ultimately on a path to acceptance.

Ratings and reviews

Religious drivel that tries to justify why bad things happen and that it should be so easy to get over. Hard to accept that someone would just get over the death of a child as portrayed in this movie. Don't waste your time, money and intelligence

Coming from an agnostic person, this actually wasn't a bad movie. They finally have represented Jesus the way he should be represented and god as a woman and an African American woman at that. Great pretense and Sam Worthington. Story was good. I like that Jesus is not a majorly religious either. Overall good story. Not bad.

Ok so the naysayers are quick to point out it's a bit on the biblical side of what is an essentially spiritual, quantum physics discussion about being human in the 21st century. Watch and make up your own mind😊
