Good concept, poorly executed.
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Somehow simple truths and faith in God often get muddled with religion and politics, unforgiveness and bitterness, when we grow into adulthood, and we can't see clearly even though we may be fighting for what we perceive to be a just and righteous cause. In the real world victims do sometimes become the victomizers themselves. So how do we stop the cycle of violence that so many countries and peoples have experienced for centuries? Although this film doesn't pretend to have the answers, it does most creatively and dramatically ask the questions? At the end of the day, we are only responsible for one, and that one can make a difference if only in the life of another one. A must see little film (a directorial debut at that for Marion Comer) that cuts to the heart and soul of what do we really believe and what are we willing or not willing to do about it?
