It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Great story line but totally pathetic acting, proves if you pay peanuts you get monkeys
Sometimes you can't believe that you sat through a whole movie and this is one of them. Religion is a fine example of the contempt that many Movie/TV execs have for the viewing public. Religion is a prime example of how a script written in a drug induced haze, thrown together quickly using no name actors, cheap sets poor acting, and even worse direction can still get airtime. It felt strangely Canadian. The high point in it, funny enough, was the flamboyant performance of the quirky character of Salt Peter who seemed more out of place in a western than any of the other weird characters.
A sign outside the town says "Religion, AZ." AZ is a zip code designation that began in 1963. The sign should have said, "Religion, Ariz."
Firstly i acknowledge that the film is a very low budget one so i had low expectations of it. Most of the lines from the actors are very flat, no passion and generally it gives me a taste of a school play Then the scenes are just to short, and changing like a slideshow which made me think that this movie has some unwanted details in it and could have been 25 minutes less of running timeThen you have characters like the host presenter getting excited by himself, and people just clapping for no particular reason, which was quite pointlessIn addition i do not think that homosexuals were dressed and used to act in such an obvious manner at that time like they present in the movie, nor they would be treated like the movie shows, lets not forget is 100+ years backNow the story its just average, without it being something special but if there is nothing else to watch and you are not sleepy you might as well watch i..but do not pay for it.
