Why You Should Give Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace a Try
This offbeat tearjerker is having a surprise moment on social, and yes, people are weeping.
One’s a 5-year-old recovering from pneumonia. The other’s a hardened criminal with kidney failure. And somehow, Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace is the holiday movie that’s making TikTok cry.
This 2020 indie is suddenly having a bit of a moment: Lucy Shimmers (Scarlett Diamond), a precocious little girl with a positive attitude and an old soul, strikes up an unlikely friendship with Edgar (Vincent Vargas), a prisoner grappling with regret and illness. What follows is a redemptive and heartwarming journey full of softness, faith, and surprise tears.
It’s sweet. It’s strange. And the movie might just break you (in a good way).
