Description

Experience C.S. Lewis’ profound journey from vigorous debunker of Christianity to becoming, as he said, “the most reluctant convert in all England.” Through Max McLean’s detailed and masterful performance, Lewis’ story of grief, loss, and redemption comes to life on screen in his own magnificent words. The Most Reluctant Convert features award-winning actor Max McLean as the older Lewis and Nicholas Ralph – the breakout star of PBS Masterpiece’s All Creatures Great and Small – as young Lewis. Beautifully filmed in and around Oxford, this engaging biopic follows the creator of The Chronicles of Narnia from the tragic death of his mother when he was just nine years old, through his strained relationship with his father, to the nightmare of the trenches of World War I to Oxford University, where friends like J.R.R. Tolkien challenge his unbelief.Written for the screen and directed by two-time Emmy and BAFTA winner Norman Stone (BBC’s Shadowlands), The Most Reluctant Convert brings to life the spiritual evolution of one of the 20th century’s sharpest minds and keenest wits.
