The novel weaves together the lives of several characters, each dealing with their own struggles and moral dilemmas, in a narrative that explores themes of violence, faith, and redemption.Author

Watched
A complex plot with an excellent cast, but in such a way that the names are not too famous. Completely different stories that eventually combine into one storyline.
Watched
I fully support the anti-religious views of the screenwriter. A good thriller about fanatics and turned religion. The beginning is slow, but with the advent of Holland, the cinema blossoms. He and the rest of the actors played cool, juicy accents.
Watched
The story is simple, but due to good characters and actors, it is quite interesting to watch its development. There are not enough stars from the sky, but among other representatives of the genre – quite a worthy picture that deserves attention, albeit for one time.
Watched
Blackberry American style. I was sure that I would like the film more, but in the end I didn’t even quite understand what the authors wanted to say. There are only freaks around, piss them all? Even as an atheist, it was embarrassing for me to look at Pattinson’s antics. How could this miracle inspire confidence in someone?
Watched
A viscous American southern gothic with a Balabanov aftertaste. A slowly drawn-out whirlwind of difficult fates, which are most often followed by death. Everyone gets what they deserve. Well, you may not believe in God, the main thing is that he believes in you.
Watched
Atmospheric, slow, boring, violent and religious movie with a beautiful ending.
Watched
I expected the worst, because it’s Netflix, but I got a very worthy pastime, as well as an amazing game of actors, where everyone gave it their all, and where I discovered familiar faces in a new way. Pleasantly surprised! The movie is not childish at all and some scenes are terribly realistic.
Watched
A strange film where everyone eventually gets what they deserve … At first I even wanted to turn it off, but then I watched it to the end
Watched
A measuredly slow but cruel movie about a strange intertwining of destinies. For some reason, in a good way, it reminded me of Poul Anderson’s Magnolia. The lines of ministers of religion and law and order are shown in a very peculiar way. Some of the feelings of some people might be offended for this.
Watched
In my humble opinion, given the pandemic and the lack of quality content, this is the best film of the year so far.
Watched
Cynical and unhurried, as if thinking about becoming something more, but not making the slightest effort for this. Or just not yet ready to move from the category of an amateur attempt to a serious author’s cinema.
Watched
A film that claims to be the best "pure" thriller of the year. Just do not forget that we have a covid year.
Watched
A bunch of beautiful and interesting characters, with their own stories that are intertwined and can be said to be dependent on each other. Good, slow, cruel, fair or something, drama. You will definitely enjoy the movie.
Watched
Leonid Kanevsky should have been called for the voice-over. It would have been a perfect episode about the American outback, where people’s hearts are entwined with sin. It is possible to break out of the spiral of violence, but the hero has no choice. This is the path.
Watched
A multifaceted film that lacked a semantic load. Well, yes, blackly, well, yes, fanatics. And all?
Overall an interesting film with a good plot. But everything is so long. I felt exhausted after watching it
Watched
The film shows an interesting interweaving of events. The movie itself is calm and measured. It was nice to see familiar actors, maybe some in slightly unfamiliar roles. I must admit they all played well. The movie may seem boring, but it’s not at all.
Watched
Religion, and faith, and the priest are the scenery here … It is simply God’s Providence shown, and the thriller is one time.
Watched
I liked both the psychologism and the general atmosphere of hopelessness and gloom. Fertile ground is shown for the obsession with blind faith, which, in turn, pushes people into endless cycles of violence. Strong images, strong game (especially Pattinson impressed).
Watched
thought-provoking and well-executed film that explores themes of faith, morality, and violence. It explored the darkest sides of humanity and how people can be capable of doing terrible things in the name of love of righteousness. Gritty atmosphere. Tarantino in another dimension
I love films where there are a lot of cool characters and everyone is connected to each other in one way or another, and this is exactly the kind of picture. The aftertaste of the film leaves a lot to think about
Watched
Southern Gothic, senseless in its cruelty and merciless in a tempo that kills all dramaturgy
Watched
An interesting story with an amazing cast, + a certain atmosphere of old VHS movies is inherent in the picture, although perhaps this is purely my impression.
Watched
The acting and directing are good. The film will lose half of its charm if you watch it in translation. Very juicy characters, whose biographies do not need to be described, and so everything is clear. Reasoning about God, forgiveness and justice, saints and sinners … And where does all this have a line.
Watched
The film, as it were, laughs at faith, but at the same time does not refute it, showing the vicissitudes of fate. The picture would be a godsend for agnostics if it were not too long and predictable. The timing of secondary characters is unreasonably high, removing which would not change anything
