Although it's never going to win any prizes as a great piece of filmmaking, I still found this an interesting film that asks some intriguing questions about religion and human nature. I could go off on a long diatribe about how organised religions cause more harm than good in the world but I will resist; this is not the place for that. Needless to say I enjoyed aspects of this film, if not the thing was a whole. There is a section at the end that I don't believe is needed; it paints Osmund in a very bad light and I found it superfluous. Over all I guess it's worth a look for the questions it raises, but it does get a little bogged down in places and can seem a little slow. Even so
Recommended (just).
