Tinsel & Tine #MiniMovieReview BREAKTHROUGH I love seeing these faith-based films which typically hit theaters around Easter. I think it’s because over the years, I’ve moved away from the church and into a more philosophical look atspirituality and faith; which intellectually makes me feel more empowered. Yet, when I watch these movies,"Heaven Is For Real”,“Miracles from Heaven”,"The Shack" and now "Breakthrough" all based on true stories which so clearly don’t shy away from church, scripture, miracles and God, I feel a certain relief watching them. Not only because I get a good cry, but I like that they don’t try to walk a balanced line to accommodate agnostics;instead they create an entertaining movie, with great casting and direction, but it’s ALL ABOUT GOD’s presence, and it feels good to let down my guard against traditional views on the Lord and our Savior and just believe, at least for 2 hours… “Breakthrough” is amodern-day Resurrection Story. The film is based on the real Joyce Smith’s book, recounting John’s accident. It’s the kind of story where we know the plot points the moment we settle into our seats, yet it’s the execution that matters… Chrissy Metz’s turns in a spot on performance of a suburban Mom in emotional crisis, so full of faith and yet won’t accept a new contemporary Pasteur at her church (Topher Grace) and becomes somewhat insufferable when her believe turns to hubris. Not to mention, as a “This is Us” fan, there’s nothing more natural than crying along with Metz. It’s also beautifully directed by Roxane Dawson and produced byDevon Franklin (actress Meagan Good’s husband) #BreakthroughMovie #breakthrough @breakthroughmovie @ChrissyMetz @devonfranklin #JoyceSmith #inspiration #faithhealing #GodsGrace #MarvelousMovieMaven https://www.instagram.com/p/BwsjfbljTz2/?igshid=x19r0b0utqd8
