Make no mistake about it. Diary of a Mad Black Woman is a Christian-oriented film, through and through. But what sets it apart from the Left Behinds and Omega Codes is its universality. Much like Woman Thou Art Loosed (another Christian-oriented film starring Elise in the title role), it’s a message that hits us on every level whether we’re faithful churchgoers or regular Joes/Josephines working eight hours a day. It’s ultimately a film about healing, faith, trust and forgiveness… principles that transcend one’s religious beliefs. The film without hesitation points to God/Jesus as the answer. But it’s not a forced and preachy message. No one is threatened with the fires and eternal damnation of Hell. Instead the characters are continuously being gently encouraged to look for God as well as to God and, particularly in the climax of the film, allow Him to heal, change, and restore their lives. But, in the midst of that, the film’s finale takes us to a place that’s steeped in honesty and reality that made me appreciate the film even more.
