About This Movie

Their performances are earnest, offering a mix of hope and disillusionment. The pacing has a deliberate rhythm, allowing moments of introspection alongside bursts of revival fervor. What stands out is the practical effects employed to recreate that late 20th-century atmosphere—sets and costumes genuinely transport you back. It’s a unique take on faith and rebellion, making it distinct amidst the genre, with the authenticity of its characters grounding the sometimes lofty themes.
