Review of Shuffle

Shuffle (2011)
3/10
A rather juvenile parable
10 November 2022
I'm not sure that I understood the premise of this movie. Ostensibly, we're seeing fragments of Lovell's life -- out of order, but all real and consistent -- until near the end, when an accident occurs that appears to be in direct contradiction to a fragment shown earlier in the movie. And. If the earlier fragment didn't actually happen, then the ending scene with his father and him makes very little sense. All in all, this film felt more like a parable for juveniles fabricated specifically to reinforce Christian notions of acceptance, forgiveness and selflessness than a film about real human emotions. If you like overly sentimental Christian parables, you'll probably like this movie, but I find them annoying.
