Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times -
The Shack is a well-acted and sometimes moving but far too often slow-paced and unconvincing spiritual journey.
|
|
Variety -
The strangest thing about The Shack, and the reason it’s finally a so-so movie, is that all the rage and terror and dark-side vengeance that Mack has to learn to transcend is something we’re told about, but we never actually see him mired in it.

|
The New York Times -
A bit more editing to remove some of the airiness would have made for a better film.
|
|
IndieWire -
Spencer and Alush turn in the film’s best performances, and Spencer’s natural warmth and Alush’s deep charm keep The Shack hammering right along.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
As directed by Stuart Hazeldine, even its jolts of surrealism feel curiously stilted; what it needed was a director whose reverence would be tempered by a healthy sense of the ludicrous, an ability to tap into and draw out the material’s stranger undercurrents.
