Best thing I've seen in years
31 May 2021
A crime drama with more twists than a bag of pretzels. Mare is a divorced detective in a small Pennsylvania town suffering with the suicide of her son, and all of the resulting complications. Her investigation of the murder of a young mother involves everyone she's closest to.

This picture did what it was intended to do.

A lot of critics I have heard disliked or even dismissed this movie. They seemed to think that the movie should have focused on Christ's ministry and his teachings, and not on the crucifixion and the events leading up to it. These critics miss the point of this movie. As with all movies, The Passion was directed at a target audience, in this case Christians. The point of the movie was simply this: to make Christians understand, in a visceral way, what they knew intellectually from reading the bible: that Christ endured a horrible and brutal death in order to save us from our sins. It was completely successful in this, and was, perhaps, the most powerful movie I have ever seen.
