While browsing flicks in a low mood, I came across the preview which was a scene of a dialogue between the main character Nathaniel and the supporting character Mark. They discussed each other's beliefs in God and life in way that touched on each other's varying perspectives without judgement very thoughtfully.
I would say that scene sums up what this film does through its array of characters who intersect and develop throughout. More than just about God, the film explores ethics and values and how their scale measure up against one another for the purpose of achieving self-fulfillment. The characters work as representations of people in society as well as who they are on their own at face value.
The film spoke to me without guilt tripping and it resonated with the internal conflicts that I endure and I think many others do based on some of the discourse present today that the film does a good job at relating to viewers with.
It was refreshing and gave me something real to consider. Great to watch alone if feeling like it, and great to watch with someone you're able to have those conversations with.
Oh and I think the effects of the cinematography did a good job at evoking the emotions that scenes were meant to make the audience feel.
