I knew bits of the C. S. Lewis conversion story, and a good bit of his biography. I'd read him, about him and about The Inklings, his intellectual cronies including Tolkien. Watch it anyway, it is a new experience. Compelling and told with humor, humility and love. Watched this movie with my father and we were completely and totally engaged the entire film. We favorably view movies which can hold our attention without mind-wandering. This one operated as a "conversion" event for me, leading to mind wandering after viewing, one of those life changing films because so memorable. Am even reading George MaCDonald now, and don't know how I had overlooked his work.
