Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector and co-writer Ethan Hawke first became interested in the works of Flannery O'Connor in his early teens, when he and his mother lived in Atlanta, Georgia and his mother worked selling textbooks to local colleges. Hawke read so much of O'Connor's works that he assumed she was as well known outside of his household as Abraham Lincoln.
- Quotes
Flannery O'Connor: If it is a symbol to hell with it. What people don't understand is how much religion costs. They think its easy. They think electric blanket and there it is the cross.

Featured review
It appears that a lot of people have left poor ratings for this film without leaving a review to say why. Perhaps they are encountering Flannery for the first time and the shock was too much. I saw this film last night and thought it was wonderful. The script artfully mixes together scenes from what is known of Flannery's life, entries from her prayer journal, and brief reenactments of five of her stories (The Life You Save May Be Your Own, Revelation, Parker's Back, Everything That Rises Must Converge, and Good Country People). Bravo to Maya Hawke, she is a tour de force, appearing as Flannery and in all five of the stories. Strong support from Laura Linney and the rest of the cast. I'm looking forward to a re-watching sometime, hoping to catch things I missed.
