Critic Reviews:
- " Essentially a parable at its core, like the book, the film challenges traditional Christian viewpoints, notably in the visual interpretation of God. " – Debbie Lynn Elias
- " The Shack is far from profound or thought provoking, but it's not as harmful or hurtful to outsiders as most doctrinally centered films tend to be. " – Louisa Moore
- " The film deals in starkly spiritual terms with the issues of loss, hatred and forgiveness, and raises a lot of common questions about who's side God is on…In a brave performance, Worthington brings a salty edge to his character. " – Jim Schembri
