The framework of faith in God works extremely well for the story, adding a dimension to the tension that would otherwise be lacking See more 09/03/2020 Even with the minimal plot elements, it still feels like there are too many revelations and resolutions when the film's best elements are the more ambiguous character moments, where past transgressions and secrets are merely hinted at.
