The In Between (2022)

The film explores adolescent grief through a supernatural premise: a young woman who believes she receives messages from her deceased boyfriend. The theme demands discernment because it touches upon the boundary between legitimate sorrow and fascination with the paranormal. From the perspective of the Catholic faith, contact with the deceased is not possible as understood by spiritualism, and seeking such connections can open dangerous doors. However, without knowing the development and resolution of the plot, we cannot affirm that the work promotes occultism or spiritualism. It may be a metaphor for the process of accepting loss. The PG-13 certification suggests that the car accident and emotional content are handled with moderation, appropriate for mature adolescents. The recommendation is clear: if its viewing is considered, parents should accompany their children and use the story as a starting point to discuss grief, Christian hope in the resurrection, and the difference between remembering with love and seeking supernatural connections outside of prayer and the communion of saints.
