Tell him to go away.

rotten:
The Lord may work in mysterious ways, but the filmmakers behind sensitive, life-affirming indie dramas about brooding young men stumbling towards redemption are an awfully predictable lot.

If you're a sucker for a New Age-meets-old-time-religion tale and you have nothing else to do this weekend, then this one's for you. Everyone else should stay home.

rotten:
Henry too often seems like a suffering cipher rather than a real guy with real problems.

Although the ending is unsurprising, Henry Poole remains an interesting character.
