Reviews
Peter McGinn
Okay, this review will suffer because the one I just wrote disappeared into the TMDB ether, and I didn’t like the movie enough to recreate what I just wrote. In brief, my reaction is that the acting seems restrained at times, almost wooden, such as with Father Simeon. He seemed depressed. Plus the script was disjointed for me and the main characters just didn’t grab me. But the movie is an Indie film and it tries hard, so your reaction may well vary according to your taste.
