There are some gaps in the plot which I would have loved to see elaborated and completed properly. Perhaps then the movie would have reached its greatest potential. Lawrence's faith crisis felt like a compelling elephant in the room, fuelling the astonishing sadness in his eyes that Ralph acted out just so so beautifully!

Boringly predictable and taken to an extreme in a few too many moments. Perhaps with more subtlety, the "plot twists" would have been more captivating. I did enjoy the visuals here and there.
