Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPablo Schreiber noted that this film presented a new opportunity for him after years of playing testosterone-fueled, uber-macho characters that heavily emphasized his toughness and masculinity. "Even though this character has all those elements - he is a guy who is getting out of jail - the ability to be soft and show that side was something I was attracted to," he said. He additionally toned down his usual sculpted physique for a softer look complete with a beer belly for this role.
- Quotes
Pastor Gail: I just hope you kept it covered. If there's one thing she doesn't need, it's more babies.
Wayland: At least that would give you another soul to save!

A good film coming from a good place
This is a very good film. It's visually beautiful (in the scenes where it's meant to be beautiful) and beautifully scored. I thought every actor in the film did an excellent job as well. Some parts of the film are also ugly, boring and uncomfortable, precisely because that's what is required to portray the kind of poverty the characters inhabit. Both aspects of the film are handled well in my opinion. It's a good story: an unusual mix of fairy tale and careful realism. It reminded me a bit of the old Springsteen songs I used to listen to in college. It's not perfect, but I found it nourishing (a rare experience these days), and I'll be interested to see what this director does next.
At the time I'm writing this, reviews for this film are highly polarized. I feel that the very low reviews are attacking the film unfairly, and not honest in their reasons for doing so. It's worth watching the film for yourself, particularly if you appreciate the way that beauty and ugliness can often coincide in real life.
