Critic Reviews

  • Kam Williams, Sly Fox

    An extraordinarily-insightful endeavor urging Evangelicals to examine their own morality in relation to Jesus' words instead of conveniently pointing fingers at folks they've long since dismissed as heathens.

    A thought-provoking documentary that explores the damage that has been done by the Church to a hurting world. This viewer could not watch this without being reminded of Anne Rice's recent renunciation of Christianity. If one needed an explanation of why someone might be led to… More

    Like one of my favorite documentaries "Religulous", this film explores religion in America. Although I love the aforementioned film, it is one-sided (albeit my side), so this was a more impartial take on the topic. I also enjoyed the filmmakers bumper sticker suit...
