Chasing the Rain (2020)
The Problem of Pain
21 December 2020 - 11 out of 30 users found this review helpful.
Thirsting. Parched. Looking for water in all the wrong places. Chasing the Rain tackles the problem of pain and suffering with raw honesty and stark realism. For once, a film with strong Christian themes that doesn't propose God as the easy solution to all of life's problems. Here are real sinners with real struggles in a fallen world. Here is a God with hard edges, the God hidden under the cross and suffering, the Hound of Heaven in pursuit of the fleeing soul. God may appear silent in suffering, but He is present in it for the sufferer. The baptismal imagery is particularly poignant. Also fun to see N. T. Wright in what may be his film-acting debut.
