Redemptive Movie Reviews

Why do the great stories we find in movies seem to stir us and resonate with us so deeply?   

Because they are all sourced from the one great story.  The larger story.  Our story. The giants of culture have been borrowing our story for years in the films they direct and produce.  By identifying the redemptive stories embedded in all those great films, we feel like we are taking it back, one review at a time.

  • The Social Dilemma

    The Social Dilemma

    Hopefully, you have already seen this film.  I believe it is a must-watch for anyone in this season of the human story, especially those with kids. 

  • Fantastic Mr. Fox

    Fantastic Mr. Fox

    The only film my kids were able to watch from my favorite director, Wes Anderson. This adaptation of the famous Roald Dahl book by the same name is such a fun movie.

  • Ratatouille

    Ratatouille

    A family favorite at the Schroller house.  A rat is an unlikely hero in the food-themed period animated film.  An inspired story where gifting and desire can overcome any obstacle on the route to success.

  • The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

    The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

    The best word I can use to describe this 38-minute animated short based the best selling book is “magical”.

  • The Painter and the Thief

    The Painter and the Thief

    In maybe the most improbable redemptive story of all time, this celebrated documentary completely caught me off guard.

  • If These Walls Could Sing

    If These Walls Could Sing

    I love musical documentaries and this one about Abbey Road Studios almost 90-year history definitely caught my attention.
