A Light Shining in the Dark

Salty Earth Pictures sees biblical truths through a cinematic lens, and nowhere is that truer than in the world of "The Author, the Star, and the Keeper." The story is quite real to so many people: A father nearly lost in dementia, a son estranged from him and feeling guilt over it, two men who lost their connection long ago and perhaps have moved past the hope of ever reestablishing it. But this motion picture explores this dilemma from new angles. The old man is not just a MacGuffin; even though his wits are scrambled, he is trying desperately to convey something important to his grown son. The son, flushed with success on the stage, knows that he needs to undo his failure towards his father. This movie doesn't deal with unabashed pathos or with a clash of personalities. It is the story of two men who know instinctively that their love for one another must not be finally lost, but who don't know how to avoid it. However, they aren't the only ones trying to remedy this sad situation before it is too late. And this is the charm and the hope of the movie. A third hand is subtly at work to bring about a reconciliation, and the drama of the story is in the question: Can it be done? The viewer finds himself sometimes as annoyed with the characters as they are with each other, and sometimes aching to see them regain what they once lost. You will find yourself hoping against hope for them, just as they have to. And perhaps you will recognize in your own life the same beacon which, like the lighthouse at the center of this story, seeks to bring you out of the darkness we weave about ourselves and into a warm and inviting light.

Decent message but it was just painful to watch

I liked the pathos in the movie and the intentions the makers had were clearly quite decent. Now I get it is a low budget production, but the dialogues were lengthy (the same point was often made few times in the same scene), plot (together with the "twists") either predictable or underwhelming. A lot of what I saw in the movie just did not make any sense. There were moments which were intended to be funny, but my forehead was just sore from all the facepalms. I feel sorry for criticising a Christian movie, but honestly I wish I had not watched it...
