I just feel so protective.
And I get the irony.
I get that I am being evangelical about this film because I want people to see it.
I want people to like it.
Can you speak to something that just didn't hit you so that I may refute it?
Okay, we'll stick around.
We'll have more thoughts on what worked and what didn't after this break.
And we're back.
OK, so you're both touching on critiques that I've actually seen when I read all those reviews.
And it is a critique that I didn't object to because I kind of get it, which is that the religious community feels a bit underwritten.
His mom certainly feels a little underwritten.
I don't know, though, because there's a different version of this film, which is made more for like a four quadrant kind of mainstream audience where we get a lot more of the religious community.
And again, no offense, but if Stephen King wrote this, we would see the religious community being mustache twirly evil, right?
And taking joy in the destruction of queer lives.
But what this film gets that I really liked actually is that's not how it works because the kind of negations of self and the spirit that these folks are engaged upon is
is not something that's joyous and ecstatic.
It makes everyone miserable because they know it's damage.
They know it's abuse.
And in this film, the people doing this harm are telling themselves they're doing it for the kid's good because his soul will be saved.
And that also makes sense to me because that's what a community like this would trade upon.
