The pacing could have been tighter. Decent enough if you've got nothing else on the list.

For me, the filmmaker's confidence shines through every sequence. Don't miss this one.

In addition, a deeply moving experience. The writing needed another pass — it's close on the other hand not there. An interesting watch, if a bit inconsistent.

What People Say

Wuchak
There's some worthy mindfood (or spiritfood) to glean from the proceedings, however, like: Why does God allow the excruciating persecution of His faithful? IS He silent?
Oscar Torres
Pure cinematic gold. Along those lines, a directorial triumph that showcases real vision.
