Don’t let the controversy over “The Shack” deter you from seeing this important film. Granted, it is not biblically correct. But neither was “The Chronicles of Narnia” nor “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” in which Pharaoh was portrayed as an Elvis lookalike. “The Shack” answers the age-old question of why bad things happen to good people better than any sermon that I have ever heard. God, or “Papa,” is played brilliantly by Octavia Spencer, who evokes more feelings with her eyes than any actor since Steve McQueen.
