I’m not sure about the lack of interest from the religious audience (however that’s defined.) Perhaps marketing the film with some indication that The Faithful are pictured sympathetically would have helped – it seems like the studios don’t have much experience at that.

Even though this film touched on a mystical event which might say much more about our psychology than anything, I liked the fact that Henry was pushed and prodded by his neighbors to consider an improvement in his existence beyond the misery he’d trapped himself within. I’m pretty sure my brothers and sisters in Christ would appreciate it. Perhaps the film asks too much of an audience?
