Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
An artful look at religious hypocrisy, interfamily dynamics and the way people wrestle with personal history long after the original events are over.
It's a bit of a mess but strong stuff nevertheless.
Exceptionally handsome, somber film.
It is a riveting, rich portrait of an atheist who thinks he's resistant to faith but may be in the throes of a feverish conversion.
