Delivered by way of an over-arching monologue, Max McLean, Nicholas Ralph and Eddie Ray Martin take us on a well written and delivered exploration of this author as he grows up and evolves from a hardened man of no faith through his gradual acceptance of the premiss of deism, then ultimately of the Christian faith. McLean is on great form delivering the narrative - and it is full of allegory, humour - even a little bit of lust! We hear of how this young man and his brother grew up in a home with his Welsh father and, after the tragic death of his mother to cancer when both were young, of his education and his WWI experiences before returning to academia at Oxford where he engaged in heated, though always enjoyable, debates with the likes of Barwell and Tolkien. The occasional use of action scenes, especially involving Ralph, oxygenate the script. They allow us to take a breather from the barrage of words that do require our concentration - his use of language is complex yet entertaining and not in the least abstruse. It was also great to see this in a full cinema - a testament to this fellow who wrote some of the most wonderful of escapist literature.
