#of capturing the overall gist of Lewis' life story leading up to his conversion
Text
I finally watched The Most Reluctant Convert this afternoon!! I can definitely tell that it's an adaptation of a one-man stage play, as it's very slow-moving and mostly narration and exposition. but I still thought it was an enjoyable introduction to the real life of C. S. Lewis, and might be a good way for people who only know him through his fiction and who may not be as inclined to read all of Surprised By Joy to be introduced to the story of the man behind Narnia.
mainly though I just felt for Nicholas Ralph during all of his scenes, as he was clearly not taking so easily to having an English accent and his Scottishness was constantly threatening to break through
