Rare are there films I recommend, but I find amongst movies, the films I enjoy most are old war movies and films based on true stories. My wife and I recently watched the Mel Gibson/Sean Penn lead film The Professor and the Madman. This film can be enjoyed by adults and recounts the events surrounding the 1st edition of the Oxford Dictionary. Faith, forgiveness, and perseverance play a huge role in this film and the themes of the gospel were quite impactful. When believing in the Lord is mentioned, it does seem to have more of a ArminIan flavor ( ex. prevenient grace), but still refreshing for a film nonetheless. I would give 4 out of 5 stars only because I wish the film were longer!
For a Content Guide to help assist your own judgment before viewing (feel free to let me know if you have more questions on content):
ALL of the actors are dressed modest 100% of the film. Common Sense Media says for 13 years of age and up. I would agree with that generally.
P.S. You language nerds should like it
