Review:

Bright, plain and unspeakably boring. There's also no real comparative reason for the exclusion of scenes from the trailer or even thematical connective relavance.

Review:

This fascinating examination of one kid's glossy admiration of his father's militant religiosity make for a most intriguing story. Looking into the lives and beliefs of other religions, even those with a violent mentality often helps us understand the world around us and this film looks like it could be a great analysis of that subject.

Oscar Prospects:

A serious film releasing early in the year will undoubtedly suffer come Oscar nomination time. However, were it releasing closer to the end of the year, it might be a considerable contender.
