The Healer

The movie The Healer is a great example of who we are and what we are able to do to make a change in society, but if we don't realize that we have the power to make a better world, we are condemned to be victims of what is happening all around us. Make a change in someone's life: smile at them, greet everyone, do your job, forgive others.

A sweet old fashion feel good movie, with a little love story built in. It's worth your time.

It'll give you a few tears, and a smile, with a few laughs.

Watched this on Netflix last night when the worlds in lockdown and we need some feel good vibes, this movie ticks all the boxes, and everything all the family of all ages can enjoy, leave your head and expectations at the door and just watch it as it's meant for. We all enjoyed this immensely. Left me feeling with a warm glow.

This is one of those films that exists to give us a light-hearted look at life.

It has all the ingredients of a story that gets you nodding in agreement, shaking your head in annoyance and smiling at the feel-good sections.

You may also feel your eyes filling up at times because the mix draws you in and pulls at your emotions.

So, settle down comfortably, get a box of tissues just in case, and enjoy a movie that has some mystery, a 'not so bad' baddie, minimal sex, no swearing and a fairy tale story line.

Well worth a viewing.

Loved the dedication to Paul Newman in the credits as I'm a big fan of his Hole in the Wall camp. A TV quality script (think Hallmark Channel) but elevated with the likes of Jonathan Price and especially the lead performance by Oliver Jackson-Cohen, whose wide range of emotions was fully credible and moving at times. Held my attention and, these days, such warm-hearted films are a welcome panacea to the mean-spirited nature of our politics. We could all use a lesson or two in being more aware of the suffering of others and what extending a kind word or deed can do to alleviate suffering. Embrace the message and the spirit of this gift.
